Brand new Sapphire 290X, cgminer shows 0khs!

[abaustin1]

Hi! I really need some help. I have been trying different settings I've found for this card, the Sapphire 290x, and I can't get it to work. I have another card, a GTX 660 Ti (obviously not for mining), that I wanted to use to run the two displays connected to my computer. However, whenever I would try to mine, cgminer would ignore the 290x and try to mine on the 660 Ti. I ended up removing the 660 Ti from my system and connecting the displays to the 290x, but when I try to mine the display drivers crash and it mines at 0 kh/s. I would like to put the 660 Ti back in and use it for the displays, but not for mining. If that is not possible, what are some cgminer setting that won't crash the display drivers? Thanks for the help!

Pick this miner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0

Install back the 660Ti

Open cmd.exe, go to the miner folder, type sgminer -n . That lists the hardware usable by the miner

You will need to use sgminer -d 0 or sgminer -d 1 (and the remaining command line) in order to point the miner to the proper device.

 I've read there are issues with 290's without display attached. I don't know what OS and Catalyst versions that was, though.

Thanks, I'll try that.

When I run sgminer -n I get this: imgur.com/OXeZ0cV

As far as I can tell, it can only see one GPU. How do I know which GPU is 0 and which is 1 when I run sgminer with -d?

Mining and having Nvidia and Ati cards can be a pain...

Use -d 1 or --gpu-platform 1

Then try any of those with 0

If it still doesn't work, expand or replicate your desktop to both videocards. Right click, select "Screen Resolution", "Detect" button and then ... it becomes complex (because I'm running headless with VNC and teamviewer with mirror drivers), you have to figure out.

Then use those options again.

You are using Windows, right?

[abaustin1]

Figured it out!

(Yes, I'm on windows)

I used --gpu-platform 1 and it began mining at 664 kh/s! Confirmed it was the right card doing the work with GPU-Z (A nice little gpu monitor), and now I just have to work on tuning it to max out the kh/s.
Thanks for your help, what's your BTC/LTC address?
