Title: Can't use my second 5850 Post by: thatguy on May 09, 2011, 06:55:08 PM Hey everyone, I'm new to bitcoin mining and I am trying to setup my computer for it.
I currently have 2 5850's and an i5 750. I am running poclbm with these settings: Code: start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm poclbm.exe poclbm.exe -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 -- *** --device 0 v -w 128 -f60 I have crossfire off. Title: Re: Can't use my second 5850 Post by: BitLex on May 09, 2011, 07:02:02 PM plug a monitor (or dummy-plug) into your second card to activate it on Catalyst
Code: ... -d1 ..... --device 0 ... probably not related to your problem, but strange anyway, that you set the device twice, first you set -d 1, then you set --device 0, decide to use 1, or 0, both doesnt make sense. Title: Re: Can't use my second 5850 Post by: thatguy on May 09, 2011, 07:27:30 PM I have no second monitor or dummy plugs. Is there any other way to do this?
Title: Re: Can't use my second 5850 Post by: xarchangelzerox on May 09, 2011, 11:49:58 PM You can enable crossfire to mine with both cards, but expect one of them to lag behind the other. I had to do this until I got myself a dummy plug.
Also, assuming you already have a DVI-VGA adapter, making a dummy plug costs one dollar + a trip to radio shack |
