Detecting that your GPUs are installed correctly is handy when installing or troubleshooting your mining rig.
The following Unix/Linux commands will help you detect which GPU cards you have installed and are detected by your operating system.
First we need to run the update-pciids command, this updates a list of PCI device ID’s:
➜ ~ sudo update-pciids
Next we run the lspci command. This gives us detailed information about devices on our PCI bus, which should list all of our GPUs:
➜ ~ lspci
Here’s an example of the output on a simple 2 card rig, running 2 x 1050s:
➜ ~ lspci
You can also run lspci with the -v switch to display verbose information. We can also pipe this command to the less command to give us pagination:
➜ ~ lspci -v ➜ ~ lspci -v | less
