I've got two 8600GTSs in a 965P-DS4 mobo with a DVI-VGA adapter on one output from the second card. Both cards are visible in Device Mangler. I've created shortcuts for the two clients with -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 in them. GPU 0 runs okay, albeit only at 1600 PPD, but GPU 1 says it's not a supported card, try a new driver. This is cobblers as it's using the same driver as GPU 0. Oh, OS is XP32. So what do I need to get the second card working?
2nd GPU won't start

You've extended your desktop to the second card in Windows?
Tried that and the driver BSODed. 
I'll get the bits to make a VGA dummy and try again.
Thanks for the suggestion though, it probably is the solution.
<Later> After the reboot the change seems to have taken place and the second card is up and running.
