Good evening.  I've made the switch on my AMD rig over to using TeamRedMiner but have a question.  I am mining turtlecoin / Chukwa  and on this rig I only want 1 gpu mining this algo, not the entire rig.  If I do the following in my bat file  (windows 10)

Code:
teamredminer.exe -a trtl_chukwa -o stratum+tcp://turtle.miner.rocks:5005 -u Wallet_Address -p w=AMD-Rig01 -d 5


This sort of works as it'll select GPU 5 and mine with it.  However the problem I then have is my other gpus on a ethash algo are only getting 1.8 Mh/s.  The Rig is a 6 GPU RX 470 rig.  However when I kill TeamRedMiner then the hashrates on ethash jumps back up to 30Mh/s.  Somehow the miner is interfering with the other GPU's. And not sure if I missed a step in my bat file.  Smiley  I am using TeamRedMiner v0.6.1

Suggestions?

Appreciate the help.

Hmm... We shouldn't be interfering with the other gpus for anything at all after the discovery phase. One thing is cpu usage though, I know we're a little (unnecessarily) high for chukwa specifically.

After starting both miners, can you open the Task Manager, go to the Details tab, select teamredminer.exe running chukwa, right-click it, set process priority to below normal or low. Does anything change?

Not having any high CPU usage though.  I've taken a few screen shots for reference.

This screen shot is with 5 of the 6 gpu's mining Callisto and getting their proper hash rates.  https://ibb.co/MGCfJrD

This screen shot is when I launch TeamRedMiner using the 6th gpu to mine turtle coin and the affects it's having on my other miner. https://ibb.co/vmcgZGG

You can see where out of the 5 GPU's mining Callisto, one of them remains at 30 Mh/s, the other 4 all drop below 5Mh/s and I can't figure out what's causing it.  Only occurs with TeamRedMiner running on turtlecoin.
