Nope... I plugged this card into the second DVI input on my monitor (so the 680 is on DVI-1 and the 7770 is on DVI-2) and BFGMiner will still not recognize it even though my OS will. I can perform work on both cards but BFG will not see it or mine on it...

thanks for that link though... bookmarked!! Didnt know you could make something like that!


Just downloaded and set up CGIMiner and same thing... screenshot below



Edit: .... I have downloaded GUIMiner and it will run it just fine. Dont know why BFG and CGI wont detect it but at this point I dont care anymore. Im willing to have another window cluttering the screen at this point... so frustrated lol

I have a second computer (my son's) with an AMD card already running. Would I be able to move the second card into it and get it to work as a dedicated miner?... or would they have to be identical cards (i,e, both 7770's)?

bump

I have dipped my toe into the mining pool and started mining on my GTX 680 desktop when not gaming on it. Not surprisingly it is too slow so I purchased a second card (AMD HD 7770) to be a dedicated miner. BFGMiner isnt regognizing my card and I dont know why (since I am new). Below is a screen of the output of my miner.

Is there something I need to alter in the config file to get it to recognize a second card? At the moment all I am getting is the 680. please help me out.

here is a screen grab of my BFG.... is it even recognizing that I have 2 cards?

If not how can I fix?



EDIT: .... tired and frustrated... heading to bed for the night, but will check thread in the morning. Thanks again for the assistance and any more will be much appreciated!

Maybe answering this will help me. Is there a way to turn one GPU off and use only one in bfgminer? I cant even tell if it recognizes both gpus since it is still chugging along at 120 MH/s...

Thanks for pointing me in at least some general direction lol. I admit I don't event know what flags are 

Any site you can point me to to explain to me in stupid-people terms what they are and which ones are "ATI" flags and what the values should be set to for this card?

sorry to be so needy... 

Ok Sorry for asking what is likely a stupid question but I am lost here.

I am brand new to this and dipping my feet into mining. At first I only used my gaming computer to mine when I wasnt on it, but since I have an nvidea GTX680 I am only getting 120ish Mh/s (which is about right from what I hear) but I want to A) mine while I am playing games too, and B) Mine faster.

I came up with the bright idea (again prolly stupid...) and got an AMD 7770 as a second card. My intent was to have that one minng 24/7 and then mine with my desktop card as well when not gaming.

...ANYway, I am only getting 50ish Mh/s on the second card which if I am right is WAY low, plus it doesnt seem to be accepting any shares. It just sits there and says its hashing away at 50Mh/s but nothing gets accepted after 20 minutes of monitoring it. I have tried GUIMiner and BFGMiner (with I set to d,9 for both cards).. and nothing... any ideas?

I am running windows 7 64bit on i7 CPU and all drivers for both cards are up to date. I dont know what other info I need to give but will take any screenshots you need... im lost and trying to figure out how to NOT waste the 160ish I just spent on this card....
