[Bounty] How do I mine with my 7970 and play games with GTX 690?

[ragingazn628]

Hey guys,

So I just bought a GTX 690 for my main rig and I have a 7970 laying around so I decided to plug that in to mine while I game. Both the GTX 690 and 7970 show up in device manager but when I tried with GUIminer it will not detect my 7970.

I was running my 7970 before installing my GTX 690. I uninstalled all the drivers for my 7970 and also used Driver Sweeper to get rid of anything left. I installed the GTX 690 and installed Nvidia Drivers.

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

My CGminer settings:

Code:

cd cgminer
cgminer.exe -o coinotron.com:8322 -u xxx -p xxx-I 9 --gpu-fan 70 -d 1

Bounty: Much Love <3

edit: installed ATI drivers and got it to work with GUIMiner - how can I get it to work with CGMiner?

Hi,

change the device used by changing "-d 1" to "-d 0" or "-d 2".
d(evice) 0 is usually the first gpu it finds. just try it out and see whichone is used.
Like that you can specify which GPU cgminer should use.

Cheers.

Learn how to use:
--gpu-platform

Yes, the platform-param is what you search. Before you use it you should get the system info. I believe the param is n or something like that. Then you know the platform your gpu runs at.

I don't have such a setup to test, but the 'clinfo.exe' from the AMD OpenCL will list out all of the platforms and all of the devices that a normal OpenCL program sees.  You run clinfo from the command line, so in 'cmd'.

Thats not needed. Both, cgminer and bfgminer, have the option -n to show all these infos including the platforms.
