Always running GPU #1, and running GPU #2 and CPU when desired? #204

Open DownedFoes opened 6 years ago

Basically, want to run my R9 290x 24/7 in my personal rig, and run my 390 and CPU when I'm sleeping or not at the computer. I'm assuming I can run 2 CMD windows, 1 for the 290x, and another for the 390 and CPU, I just have no idea how to do that currently. Right now running xmr-stak runs the 390 and CPU.

remove the file amd.txt than start the miner and generate a config for all gpus. splitt the amd.txt config into two files. Start the miner with xmr-stak --amd amdconfig1.txt

To be sure, delete amd.txt, and run xmr-stak to generate a new amd.txt for both GPUs and CPU. Duplicate the amd.txt files into "amdconfig1.txt" and "amdconfig2.txt", change 1 of the files to only run 290x, and the other will stay the same to run both GPUs and CPU. How do I change which amdconfig file it will use when I run xmr-stak? Could I just rename whatever one I want to use to "amd.txt" and have it just be pointed to whatever file is named "amd.txt" at all times?
