Some questions and issues..
Since this was working great on my first dual 1080ti node, I upgraded, but running into the following problem.
I have a remote AMD node, running 3x R9 290s and a pair of RX580s. Two sets of cards, with very different performance. I’d like to be able to run this as 2 additional “groups” of cards but can’t figure out how. Also, how do I keep different sets of benchmarks? I’ve read the faq, but seems very unclear to me.
You will want to setup 2 different profit miners, one for the 290s and one for the 580s. You would benchmark one card of each type and save each as a profit profile... then you can assign the profit profile to the correct set of cards via the profit miner.
If these two sets of cards are in the same rig you will need to use mining software that can target specific cards to properly use the profit profile, otherwise the numbers will be off. Claymore can target specific cards in a rig, sgminer might be able to as well. You'll need to read the help output of sgminer to get the exact command line parameters to use to include or exclude cards.
Also having some major issues with sgmimer, which I don’t normally use. It keeps detecting my igpu. Also noticed that it’s the old 32bit version?
SGminer is funky old software for sure, but there are a ton of commandline switches for it. You might be able to exclude the iGPU. I think if you use the --gpu-platform option you can tell SGminer to only use the AMD cards.
Lastly, for my nvidia rig, how do I use different versions of ccminer for different algorithms? I see the main tpruvot 2.23 fork, and the Alexis78, but need to add others as well. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do this?
Yes, you can do this... it's a little out of place and not where you think it would be (its not in the options dialog)...
