my apologies if this question has already been answered. Would it be possible for me to edit this project in its current state and have it only mine on the specific gpus i set it to mine on. for example: say i have 2 1080ti's and 1 980ti. can i set megaminer to only use the 980ti. reason being is that say for nicehash for example. i have 2 1080ti's mining neoscypt and the 980ti mining equihash. But in MM all 3 cards would just mine according to what is most profitable. i think a great function would be to have something where the cards get benched individually to see where each card is doing its best profitability. if they are a different series: IE: maxwell vs pascal. would any of this be possible? as for the example above. if i could choose which gpu mm uses. i could make 2 different directorys on my hard drive. have one MM instance running and benched for a single 980ti and the other mm instance running the 2 1080ti's.

EDIT: would editing the files in the miners folder work? IE: edit the variable "arguments" to set only gpu0 for example? and if that does work, could we create a variable in the config.txt which specifys which gpus. and have it assigned to a variable in the miners config.

1) Run the miner with --help argument, find what argument it uses to select only X devices and what is the argument to list all devices. ccminer uses --ndevs to list all devices and --devices 0,3,5 to select devices 0, 3 and 5.
2) Run ccminer.exe --ndevs to see what numbers are the devices you want to add.
3) Add --devices 0,3,5 to Miners\miner.json in the Arguments path.
4) Repeat for every other NVIDIA/combined miner in the Miners folder.
