Topic: How many workers for 2 miners on the same machine GUIMiner (Read 2049 times)
It shouldn't cause much of a load increase, if any, since you're piratically doing the same OpenCL operations, it's just now you have two workers showing up in the GUI instead of one.
Are there any CPU issues doing this?
Using two workers is probably a better practice since you can spot downtime/errors more quickly.
No, you can use a single worker without any problems. Workers are primarily for tracking purposes in case you wanted to know how well each gpu/card is performing or which one is down or any other reason you can think of.
Hi,
I have GUIminer set up with 2 miners using OpenCL and two 9800 cards in SLI. I join the slush pool (mining.bitcoing.cz) and created a single worker to use with both miners. I didn't get an error message. Do I need to create separate workers for each miner?
