gtx295 and 9800gt in the same rig

[phil3_66666]

Hi, im trying to add some ppd right now, but hit a wall

i can fold on bolt core of the gtx295 but can't get the 9800gt to fold at the same time...

all "3" gpu use the same driver(196.21)

maybe someone can help me?

Thanks
Phil

Are you using dummy plugs?

What OS Phil? Dummy plugs shouldn't be required unless you're using XP. Are you using this in your shortcut? "-gpu 2 -forcegpu nvidia_g80"

thanks for your answer guys, no dummy plug but, win7 ultimate 64, and yes for the flag

[_dangtx_]

ok, so there shouldnt be any restrictions active....but did you extend desktop? memory fails me on third gpu addition now :)

Actually, dummy plugs are not required under XP. They were only necessary under Vista and Windows 7, although not any more with newer drivers.

This, except it should be -gpu 3 since the GTX295 is a dual-GPU card.

Correct. But except w/ dual GPU cards. You do often require the dummy plugs.

i got it running right now

with -gpu 2 flag since it's gpu0/1/2

but the problem si ppd, when the 9800gt fold, one of my 295 core drop to 3000ppd(drop form 7000ppd), and the 9800gt give me another 3000ppd

Nope, the GPU count goes 0, 1, 2. I found that out the hard way.

@Phil, I think there's a lot of problems getting set up with multi-GPU cards. Maybe troll the folding forums? Folding Forum • Index page
