Disable GPUs
Guide
Published 2024-08-25
In mining, you might need to exclude specific GPUs due to hardware issues, heating problems, or because the GPU will be repurposed for other tasks. This guide explains how to select and manage individual GPUs across different mining software to optimize your setup.

You can find examples for various miners in this guide. All examples demonstrate how to disable GPU2 (the third GPU) in a 6-GPU rig.

Conclusion

In conclusion, managing which GPUs are active in your mining rig can help address hardware issues, control temperatures, or allocate resources more effectively. By following the examples provided for different miners, you can easily disable specific GPUs, such as GPU2 in a 6-GPU setup, to optimize your mining operation. This flexibility ensures that your system runs smoothly and efficiently according to your needs.
