Disable Nvidia mining keeping CPU #238

Closed DaniloJacques closed 6 years ago

DaniloJacques commented 6 years ago

There is a command-link to disable the NVIDIA mining? In the Readme there is an argument to disable AMD mining, but no NVIDIA. It's very common AMD and CPU have the same most profitable coin (because AMD cards is strong in Cryptonight), but Nvidia have other algos (Equihash, Neoscrypt, etc) that is commonly greater profitability than cryptonight.

I couldn't find any way to disable nvidia, and the new XMR STAK all-in-one is faster using CPU than all miners. The is an option to disable the NVIDIA mining?

Command option can get from running xmr-stak.exe --help. These are the options :- `Usage: xmr-stak.exe [OPTION]...

-h, --help show this help -v, --version show version number -V, --version-long show long version number -c, --config FILE common miner configuration file --currency NAME currency to mine: monero or aeon --noCPU disable the CPU miner backend --cpu FILE CPU backend miner config file --noAMD disable the AMD miner backend --amd FILE AMD backend miner config file --noNVIDIA disable the NVIDIA miner backend --nvidia FILE NVIDIA backend miner config file

The Following options temporary overwrites the config file settings: -o, --url URL pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:3333 -u, --user USERNAME pool user name or wallet address -p, --pass PASSWD pool password, in the most cases x or empty ""

Thank you so much

I think the https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/blob/master/doc/usage.md#command-line-options is outdated

Is fixed in the dev branch. I missed to update the documentation.
