@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ BUILDING FOR GPU SUPPORT:
Install AMD APP sdk, ideal version (see FAQ!) - no official place to
install it so just keep track of where it is if you're not installing
the include files and library files into the system directory.
(Do NOT install the ati amd sdk if you are on nvidia.)
To build with GPU monitoring & clocking support:
Extract the AMD ADL SDK, latest version - there is also no official
place for these files. Copy all the *.h files in the "include"
@ -416,12 +416,11 @@ A: If you can install both drivers successfully (easier on windows) then
yes, using the --gpu-platform option.
Q: Can I mine with Nvidia or Intel GPUs?
A: Yes but their hashrate is very poor and likely you'll be using much more
energy than you'll be earning in coins.
A: No. Those have separate dedicated software.
Q: Can I mine on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs at the same time?
A: No, you must run one instance of sgminer with the --gpu-platform option for
each.
A: You must run one instance of sgminer with the --gpu-platform option for
AMD cards, and other software with similar flags for non-AMD cards.
Q: Can I mine on Linux without running Xorg?
A: With Nvidia you can, but with AMD you cannot.
@ -500,9 +499,8 @@ A: It only disables GPUs if you enable the --auto-gpu option. If you don't give
it parameters for engine clock it will not adjust engine clocks with this
option.
Q: Can I use the open source radeon driver for AMD GPUs or the nouveau driver
for NVIDIA GPUs?
A: None of them currently support OpenCL, so no you cannot.
Q: Can I use the open source radeon driver for AMD GPUs?
A: It is not yet supported.

is an option where you tell sgminer how many shaders your GPU has. This
helps sgminer try to choose some meaningful baseline parameters. Use
this table below to determine how many shaders your GPU has, and note
that there are some variants of these cards, and nvidia shaders are
much much lower and virtually pointless trying to mine on. If this is
not set, sgminer will query the device for how much memory it supports
and will try to set a value based on that.

SUMMARY: This will get you started but fine tuning for optimal
performance is required. Using --thread-concurrency is recommended
