Support forum for DG Tools

Hello,
I encode videos on a 2nd machine and have decided to turn that machine into a mining machine for crypto currency.

The problem i am having is when i use DGDecNV to de-interlace my videos during encoding the mining software seems to run fine for about 6-8 hours then windows crashes, when im not using DGDecNV it seems to mine fine. I was wondering if there was a way to find out which GPU DGDecNV is using as i lower the power usage on the GPU and my process of thinking is that lower power is causing the video engine in the nvidia card to crash, so i will have to increase it on whatever card is in use. Also there sharing cuda, would that cause issues? even a way to specify what GPU to use would be useful if there isn't one in the code already

Thanks
Richard

Should be no problem for multiple apps using CUDA. Look at Settings/CUDA Device to set the GPU to use. You can also set it directly in the INI file.

Thankyou for your reply, So if i change the cuda device to 1 in the .ini file in the DGEncNV folder, then it will change in MeGUI when i encode?

Yes, but you have to change it in the INI file used by MEGUI. And of course you must have a second CUDA capable card installed.

Thankyou for your help, now that i know the card that is being used i can adjust power accordingly

Glad to be helpful, Richard. If you run into any potential issues for DGDecNV feel free to post again. Maybe you just got running too hot on a single card. Was it overclocked? Hehe, I know you miners like to squeeze every last drop out of the HW.
