Default Folding with 2 different gpu's
Is this possible to do? I have tried all the tutorials and faqs out there and i can't seem to get this to work. Trying to run gtx 275 (which runs fine) and a 8800gt which just keeps saying unstable even though it's at stock settings. Also do i have to install drivers for both cards even though just installing the one for gtx 275 recognizes both?

Unfortunately you can't mix the 2xx series with previous generation cards, there is no work around that I've seen yet.

Thanks for the reply. I saw a few people saying they had it working but not saying how they did it or settings. Guess i will just keep this as a back up card for now.

Was there any smoke or "pretty lights" zlojack or just safe failure/not working?

Nope. The card is working perfectly. I can do everything else on it just fine.

Just the folding gives me EUEs. It was working fine for about a month, but with the newer WUs, things seem to have gone south a bit.
