Hi,

So far, I was using guiminer (opencl) with 2 vcards on same pc

gtx570 ... 117 MH/s ... @default clocks
gtx460 ... 47 MH/s ... @default clocks

Forceware 266.58 works fine; but with versions 270.61 & 275.33, display driver suddenly shows black screen and stops working.

Now I want to use guiminer (cuda),
but  it does not show devices (gtx570 and gtx460) to select as opencl does it.

Gpu-z shows cuda's checkbox enable on main vcard (gtx570) only,
then I dummy plugged second vcard (gtx460) and got both vcards with cuda's checkbox enable. Smiley

But still does not show any device to select.
If I start to mine with cuda, it works with the main card only.
I tried with some flags (-device=0 -device=1 device=0 device=1) but not succeed.

How can I get working both cards?
Any idea or suggestion?

Thanks in advance Wink

btw, cuda mining improve the hash rate by 23%!!!
gtx570 ... 144MH/s @default clocks with flags: -aggression=5 -gpugrid=480 -gputhreads=960

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Problem was solved by adding this flag (-gpu=1) to the second vcard miner.

I know nVidia is not good for mining but...
I got a lucky shot becuase I solved a block mining in SOLO mode with the 570 in less than 10 min, LOL.-

BTW, You can not SLI different cards.-
