Is it possible to delay all mining until DAG generation completes? I have a GPU that's pretty touchy and if the mining starts before it's DAG is generated the GPU will never come up. This causes the app to restart and sometimes crash. I've used the serial options and tried to slow it down but that doesn't prevent the mining from starting before DAG generation on all cards. Just a thought.
Thanks!
see the documentation:
-gser this setting can improve stability on multi-GPU systems if miner hangs during startup. It serializes GPUs initalization routines. Use "-gser 1" to serailize some of routines and "-gser 2" to serialize all routines.
Using values higher than 2 allows you also to set custom delay between DAG generation on GPUs, for example, "-gser 5" means same as "-gser 2" and also adds 3sec delay between DAG generation (can be useful for buggy drivers and/or weak PSU).
Default value is "0" (no serialization, fast initialization).
i would recomment starting with -gser 3 to serialize it with 3 sec. delay.
if that doesnt help you can also try it with -lidag 2, which sets the intensity lower when DAG creation
