Title: Attempting My First GPU Mining Rig -> "invalid device ordinal"
Post by: betajuice on October 05, 2018, 08:41:24 PM
I'm trying to setup my first GPU mining rig, but Claymore's Dual Miner is running into the error:

Code:
cudaGetDeviceCount returned error 10
-> invalid device ordinal

and I'm not sure what the problem is (I have been searching).

Specs:

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Mining Software: Claymore's Dual GPU Miner - v11.9
command: "ethdcrminer64 -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal [my_eth_address] -epsw x"

GPUs: (4x) GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
Mobo: Asrock H110 Pro BTC+
PSU: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1200i 1200W 80 PLUS PLATINUM
CPU: Intel Celeron G3930 Kaby Lake Dual-Core 2.9 GHz
Memory: Patriot Signature Line 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4

The GPU's are connected via PCIe risers, and also all powered to the PSU.
I also have the mobo extra molex power plugged in (2x).

Any help is appreciated, thanks

This has been resolved.

The problem is my GPU's were not fully powered.

So is the rig operational now and what will you mine?

I've been mining ethereum! Got my electric rate down to 7 cents / kWh and so its even profitable (not by a lot, but still).

I have 4 nvidia cards mining, the 2 amd cards still not configured yet, need to get the drivers installed properly (my guess)
