Hi
Failed to initialize device idx 0 (-47)
RX5500XT and RX 5600XT

Check which number of the PCI-E slots your GPUs are connected to.

1. What's the difference in connectors?
If you forcibly disable the device in the parameters, then there will be an error on the second device (1) - Failed to initialize device idx 1 (-47).
2. There are no problems in the ether mining mode.


Your GPU PCI-E slots are 0; 1; 2; 3...(My mobo has 5 PCI-E slots). Did you map them correctly so that TRM is not trying to use a slot where no GPU is connected ?

Also, Is the algo you're trying to mine actually supported by TRM on both of your GPUs ?
1. Claymore ETH OK! - http://prntscr.com/usycrn
2. TeamRedMiner ETH OK! - http://prntscr.com/usyf5s
3. TeamRedMiner HVN NO OK!!! - http://prntscr.com/usyge9
The question is, does the miner support these cards at all or not Huh

Well, apologies for a very late reply here, but sorting it out for others to read as well: we have never ported the CN algo family to Navi, simply because Navis aren't competitive. The error you're seeing is simply due to that algo not being available on those cards. I think our error message could be MUCH clearer Smiley.

From our README:

Code:
Some algorithms are not supported on some GPU architectures and/or drivers.  Below is the compatiblity table:

As you can see, we tend to add support for Navis for all new algos (of course), but the CN family is still unsupported. Might change at some point in the future given enough time, always too much stuff to do...
