I have been running one pc with a 1060 card on Lolminer for a while. I get 20MH/s. Then I added a 2nd 1060 card, and only get 20MH/s total.

I have tried everything, ddu uninstalling the drivers, etc, but no change. When I use Phoenix miner, no problem, 40MH/s.

Does anyone know why this is? I know that Phoenix solved the problem, but it just does mu ocd in that it doesn't work. Btw, I also have a pc with two rx580 cards on Lolminer and that runs fine.

Some experienced view/comments would be appreciated.

The trick temporaly is to run 2 instances... that happens in Windows... only add in the bat file --devices 0 and --devices 1 to the copy of the bat file. With that you will have 2 instances of the 20Mhs without any problem.

This is not a trick and no solution, only avoid the problem.

@JohnyBitcoin

can you give us more information about your system? Give us your commandline and by the way, for nvidia cards it is better to use T-Rex miner, faster and more shares on poolside for nvidia cards. For AMD lolminer is good.

Okay, silly question here: How do I add commands to the batch file for Lolminer? For instance to use only specific cards.
I've seen you should add something like "--devices 1" to the batch file, but where do I add it?
