Win 7/8 auto-gpu detection

[MaynardMiner]

There is an issue regarding auto-gpu detection in win 7/8.

I am working on solution.

The issue is, is that Windows 7/8 has no PNPCLASS in WMI.

pwsh
$Services = @("nvlddmkm","amdkmdap","igfx","BasicDisplay")
Get-CimInstance -namespace root\cimv2 -class Win32_PnPEntity | where Service -in $Services

In CMD.exe. See if that returns a list of all your cards. If it does, I can fix.

I believe it is now fixed, if you want to check, and download .zip again directly from repository.

I am searching for PNPdevices, and narrowing list by services they use, rather than its PNPClass. I believe there are really one 4 possible services that can be used total- I could be wrong there, so let me know if it doesn't work.

-Cuda was for linux only. I stopped supporting it the moment HiveOS default cuda became 10. It was notated in a release awhile ago.

You can use version update command or manually paste new links into config\nvidia-win.json with different miner version with different cuda.

It is waaaaay too much work to support miners for both linux and Windows, on top of supporting multiple cuda. If I get time I will add, but it is low priority.

when updating which files are affected??? I change and then I have to redo everything??!?

[MaynardMiner]

@petrovsky34 SWARM saves all configs in the config folder but the update\ folder (this is so I can update miners).

SWARM also saves all statistics in stats folder, as well as backup stats in backup folder.

Just save a copy of nvidia-win.json prior to updating, then paste it back in after updating.

Thanks)))

@petrovsky34 I am curious- What command is this?

[petrovsky34]

I have heard no issues of it not working since 2.2.5. Closing.
