Anyone have experince with running cgminer or sgminer next to ethminer on the same PC?

theoretically it should be easy , just run both and adjust the intensity on the dual coin and things should work fine
but I am having a hard time finding a working version for either algo since everyone else seems to be using claymore.

here is what I use for sgminer version 5.3.4 eth

Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100


set host=%COMPUTERNAME%
echo %host%

FOR /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-" %%a IN ("%host%") do echo %%a& set hostid=%%b

echo %hostid%

sgminer-x64 -k decred -o http://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -u Rig.%hostid% -p x -I 8 -w 64 -g 2

it gets to the point where it loads the kernel and just freezes.

Asto the reason I am switching I am of the belif that the stopping and starting of claymore for dev fee mining is detrimental to my rigs
around 10 rigs  I have been having issues with , where after a few hours sometimes 10 hours or so they either crash and reboot or
I see cards mining at 8.3 mhs bascially sick/dead.

After the switch to ethminer no such issues and i just donate one time and do not have to constantly deal with the dev fee

I am using claymore so can't really help you. But I'll be watching to see if you manage to get working solution. I have only one rig with 4x1070 and claymore is working perfectly for me. I get around 31MH ETH and around 400MH for SIA. Running smoothly for about a month now.

From your bat file I am guessing you are using ATI cards because those first 5 lines doesn't do anything for nvidia. Good luck

Yup , Amd cards , I do have some nvidia cards but they are on Zec and equihash for now
This issue with the dying rigs is AMD specific and Rx cards mostly , It started after the hash fix
since versions 9.8. yes I could downgrade but even when claymore worked flawlesley I still dont like the
fact that my rigs have to reload the dag twice every hour , once for dev fee once to connect back to the pool

We are losing at least 3% of hash due to this and all that assumes a rig does not go down
