Hi all. I'm a noob and just figuring things out. I'm running two gpus both on an etc script, however i would like to set it up so that my gpus are mining separately.

gpu0 is a 4gb gtx 1650 i want to keep it on ETC.
gpu1 is a 6gb 1060 i want to run it on ETH.

what script am i missing that separates the gpus? -d gpu0 does not work as "d" is difficulty here not device.
thanks

I would like to know the answer to that as well. I asked a similar question before and was told I would have to run two different .bat programs which is fine, but no one was able to help me with the commands to select specific gpu's for the .bat files.

Whatever mining software you are using would have a bunch of hidden switches to specify GPU number.
You need to find the readme file of the mining software or look up the GPU commands for it online.

that did it! thanks

****if using the prohashing recommended the command to select a gpu on your rig is "--devices 0 1 2 3"****
