Rig is not finding plugin

Open tequeKnow opened this issue 4 years ago • 13 comments

I have tried several versions and several locations on the computer. XMrig does not seem to be able to see the plug in.

},
"cuda": {
    "enabled": true,
    "loader": "d:\\XM\\xmrig-cuda.dll",
    "nvml": true,
    "cn/0": false,
    "cn-lite/0": false
},

Anyone?

no CUDA

Just put the dll in the xmrig folder.

I too faced this same issue. I have put the dll files in the same directory as xmrig

I downloaded this file xmrig-cuda-6.5.0-cuda11_1-win64.zip, extracted it to xmrig directory

my config: image

Remove the double backslashes in the loader path and replace them with single slashes. Maybe thats why it isnt working.

And then remove the loader from the config file. Just run xmrig from cmd with --cuda flag. It automatically detects the dll

@SwiftGodDev - I tried that as well. Its not working

You tried both?

No I said remove the loader from the config file and run xmrig from cmd with --cuda tag.

  1. Argon2 algorithms not supported by GPU backends.
  2. loader option is not required if plugin placed in the same folder with executable and not renamed.

Will it be supported in future? I was using Violetminer which supports both. But the only problem was it stops mining all of a sudden

No plans in near future, argon2 was added as a dedicated algorithm because it is part of RandomX. Thank you.

Thanks for the confirmation

If you get the output listing your GPU then CUDA is working and it loaded the plugin.

The disabled message is because the CUDA plugin doesn't support the current algo.

No algo exists that is good for both CPU and GPU better to run two miners, one setup for GPU only (CPU backend disabled) and one for CPU only (GPU backends disabled) so they can run different algos they are each good at. Pools exist which payout XMR regardless which of the algos you actually mine.
