Title: How to reconcile GPU numbering
Post by: dragonmike on June 04, 2017, 11:15:51 PM
So let's say I wanted to identify one specific GPU...

Afterburner says it's got great asic quality so I want to test a different bios on it. I have seven identical GPUs on my rig. How do I know which gpu in atiflash corresponds to the one I chose in Afterburner (or in the miner software for that matter)?

I usually just set the fan speed to 100% on the GPU I want to isolate and check myself.

I flash all my cards in a separate rig, solo, so there is no confusion. Things get out of hand when you are running atiflash on a rig with multiple gpus.

Ok this allows you to physically identify the GPU. So you could ofc disconnect all the other ones, plug it to the main PCI-E slot and flash it separately. But that's quite a hassle. I wonder if there isn't any other way, there must be a device ID or something you can see within Windows?
