Title: Re: gaming on mining rig Post by: Kuttingcorners on January 26, 2014, 12:06:51 AM So basically I could use it for games but it would only use 2 video cards? As long as it isn't a big hassle to get it up and mining after playing a few games I wouldn't worry about losing an hour of mining here and there .

You need to [D]isable that card on miner software and run the miner on realtime priority. If you need to, and how you can make the cards invisible to the game, that I have no clue. |
