cgminer, use only 1 of 2 gpu's

[redliner]

I am mining on a 7850oc, but I have an old 4650 I would like to use for my monitor(s). Currently the 7850 is in gpu 0 and 4650 is gpu 1, both cards show up (I know monitor must be connected). My question is how can I mine on on the 7850 only and use the 4650 for display. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks redliner

dont think you can with windows. with linux or ubuntu I think its possible by setting a different driver for each card. The 7xxx series needs SDK 2.9 and the 4xxx needs 2.4-2.5 I think I read somwhere.

Thanks, zif33rs  That's not the answer I wanted but at least I least I can stop trying to get this to work on windows.

Hey, DL Guiminer (which can use cgminer)  this will allow you to select which miner to use on which device.

Oh... now you chime in, right after I shut down and pull the other card 

Thanks Neuroticgrim

Dont think I read thru your question right...sorry. Yea...guiminer does have a drop down..also you can use the [G]PU Management function in cgminer to disable a worker.
