2 cards with different settings on cgminer

[kb24mvp]

Posted this in the mining support forum, but haven't gotten a reply so was wondering if one you kind fellows could give me a hand

I had a mining rig with a 7850 in it, now I added a R9 290, I have different settings for each card... what is the best way to get this to work in cgminer

can I do -d 0 then 1st card settings then -d 1 2nd card settings

or

2 seperate bat files and run 2 instances of cgminer at once?

You can either do a "," and specify settings for both cards within 1 batch file, or make 2 batch files and specify each device individually. Personally I prefer the later because if I need to use the machine I can just slow down or shut off the display card much more quickly.

Thanks a lot, for instance how would I use the "," in the current setup?

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp:// -user.1 -p x
 -g 1 -w 512 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24550 -I 16 --gpu-fan 75 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20 (video card 0)

 -g 1 -w 512 --lookup-gap 2 -I 18 (video card 1)

I don't use it myself, but I think you just have to put a comma and then enter the value for the next device afterwards.

since worksize and gap are same, you can just keep that the same, but for intensity do "-I 16,18"

See this guy's bat for example:
