How to set-up the .conf for multiple cards ?
-
apologies if this is explained in other posts, feel free to point mt in the right direction. (I also googled it but without much luck)
very simply:
I’ll soon add more cards to the rig.
the .conf file I have now for my R290 is ok.
How will I set-up the .conf for multiple cards when these will be different models with different performance and requirements?
thanks a bunch! -
Single card config lines look like this
[code]gpu-engine" : “1090”,[/code]
3 card config lines look like this
[code]gpu-engine" : “1090,1090,1090”,[/code]
Hope this helps

is it that simple? jeee…now I understand.
and first number is for card in PCI-E slot 0, 2nd number for PCI-E slot 1 etc ?

Yep :)

You can use the --device 0,1,2 command. this will activate the marked gpu’s

I actually have one cgminer instance for every GPU, since if one instance crashes I only have downtime on that instance. Also, I use separate workers on all of them so I can pinpoint issues via pool statistics (ie which card is not working). You can’t have different pools/workers on one cgminer instance.
but even with that, you need to list all per-gpu settings separated by commas, or the next cgminer instance you are starting assumes that the settings from it’s cgminer.conf apply to all the GPUs.
