Re: NSGminer v0.9.4: The Fastest NeoScrypt GPU Miner

How would I launch for just GPU 7, an AMD card?

Oddly, when launched nsgminer only employs my Nvidia cards?

I want to use nsgminer strictly on the Amd cards. Can anyone assist me with configuration switches for that?

If you have both AMD and NVIDIA cards installed, and haven't specified --gpu-platform, the miner selects platform 0 which could be either. The miner used to expect platform 0 to be AMD and platform 1 to be NVIDIA, but platform ordering could be confused sometimes. Also expect some hardware monitoring mismatches and warnings as the AMD ADL code is somewhat old.
