OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.10.0

[firelizard]

by adding   -d 0 --remove-disabled   just makes the cg miner to intantly close, like when it has en error in its command line...

my whole bat now is

cgminer --scrypt -o wk3.botpool.net:3599 -u user -p pass -d 0 --remove-disabled --shaders 2560 --thread-concurrency 24550 --intensity 20 --worksize 512 -g 1 --gpu-fan 85

whats wrong with it?

First make sure what CGMiner identifies your GPU's as.  I just guessed at the "0".  Then make the proper -d x --remove-disabled immediately after cgminer.exe and before everything else.

It took me a little trial and error when I used it, way back when.

Edit: You are using CGMiner 3.7.2 or earlier? Right?

[firelizard]

and how do i see which gpus it identifies?

no im using a 2.11 ver, does it actually matter?

edit: ok updated to 3.8.5 and the disable command is now just after cgminer.exe in the line, also used -d 1 and -d 2 but nothing changed...

You want 2.7.2 for scrypt mining.  3.8.5 doesn't have GPU, and hence scrypt support.

ok then im back to my 2.11 ver that used to work just fine, i set up the command line as it should be and now before cgminer instantly closes i can see an error popping in it: command line options set a device that doesnt exist

Edit: also tried again to use -d 1 or -d 2 but just nothing

1. I'm trying to get an MSI Z87-G45 mb running Win8.1 to mine with 7 cards but it only mines with 5.  Windows Device Manager recognizes all 7 cards.  Any ideas on how I can get cards 6 and 7 to mine  

2. I cannot get a single 5970 to mine on that setup. I've tried Catalyst 12.8, 13.1 and 13.9 with all the driver stripping steps in between.  Is there a fundamental reason a 5970 will not mine under Windows 8.1  

[os2sam]

and how do i see which gpus it identifies?

--ndevs|-n          Enumerate number of detected GPUs and exit

There are readme and GPU-readme files with the software, among others.

Those have allot of good info in them.

i guess my previous post got deleted, but i cannot overemphasize how much of a bullshit this program is when you have two different cards

to change settings of GPU 0, you have to modify the settings of GPU 1, and god knows what else gets turned around selectively...stay away from it if you are running different cards

Use Linux, Windows doesn't support 7 GPUs.

Hi there. I am here to report what looks to be a bug in cgminer. This bug manifests itself if you run cgminer pointed at the stratum port of the bfgminer proxy. This has been reported by numerous users, usually trying to point their KnC miner at the bfgminer proxy:

I've been drowning in moving houses and having no stable internet. I'll look into this when time permits, thanks.

[kano]

anyway to use cgminer with blades yet?    

There is no way to have a miner mine on a blade.
Blades have their own crappy internal last generation getwork miner.
All you can use is a getwork proxy or a getwork pool.

I appreciate that Con. Kano's only response was to question my personal motivations for posting the bug. Which is awesome...

Use Linux, Windows doesn't support 7 GPUs.

Funny then, why are there several motherboards made expressly to run 7 graphics cards???  Why does Windows Device recognize all 7 cards.

I believe the bug is in cgMiner 3.7.2

Maybe because not everyone uses Windows?

Could just as easily be a problem with the AMD drivers.  They aren't known for their stellar performance and proper behavior in all circumstances.

Regardless scrypt mining is no longer supported in cgminer.

This guy claims that the 11.12 or 12.1 driver can support up to 8 cards on Win7 or Win8.  I haven't tried it, so I have no idea if this is accurate or not:
