OpenCL version uses extended config. Ordinary version overwrites it if you run it later and use the same directory. Use different directories if you need both versions. Look at command line options.

The same directory as blockchain database. For default location run

4 card amd rig

boolbd.exe --start-mining=1K5BH.....rCLe9gxXF --mining-threads=4

boolbd.exe --start-mining=[address] --mining-threads=[n]

n - number of GPUs to use

Doesn't seem to be working though.

When I try 4 threads I get an error about CL_Name and platform index must be between 0 and some huge number.

Tried alter device index also, but still the same.

Only one gpu shown working in gpu-z

Do I need a certain version of driver maybe? I'm on 13.251 Catalyst 13.12

Ok, does this simply not work with multi-gpu rigs?

I've tried everything suggested plus a few ideas of my own and I just cannot get this to work with more than one card. I've also updated drivers which hasn't made the boolberry situation better, but has buggered up my other mining. Not impressed.

I see others here complaining of similar problems and they seem to be getting nowhere too.

Any clues, anyone?

My CUDA miner only works with Nvidia, but it will support as many GPUs as the driver will.

It looks like miner doesn't work. You should look at miner initialization messages.

Releasing my CUDA miner, with stratum support. I also cleaned up a LOT of the awful cpuminer code - now only supports stratum and Wild Keccak.

Awesome! I've been reading enough about how the GTX 750 Ti makes its owner rich and handsome after bringing peace to Middle East, but I've been worried about the closed/private miner issue. I might actually give Nvidia a chance, though I still think AMD plays better with the open source ecosystem.

Agreed. But Nvidia is looking better technologically nowadays.

It depends on driver, environment variables and system memory amount so I guess something's different in your systems. Anyway we don't use large GPU memory buffers so it doesn't matter at all. The code is from my other miner that used a lot of GPU memory.

Why the first computer buffer size is 1791m but another is 1024m?

Looks like bad performance on 290x - about 1 Mh\s, same as 280x

And some issues with disconnects on different pools - every 20-40 seconds i get

Code:

[2014-08-14 23:55:56.143] Re-login, disconnecting...
[2014-08-14 23:55:56.144] Re-connect... and relogin...

That's normal with these miners

Edti: Ok, I stand corrected. I assumed this was normal, but I guess this ISN'T supposed to be happening. I'm investigating this now.

I'm sorry it's my fault. I compiled the miner with native optimization (it's enabled by default in original Makefile) and it's not compatible with older CPUs. I've updated the binary release.
