Help setting up 2nd GPU Client

[sir-les-mp]

As title suggest's im looking for help setting up a second gpu client
ive just installed a second 8800 GTS 320 card into my system and set system
up so i can enable/disable sli
Ive had a quick read of the guide on stanfords site but still a bit lost.
from what ive read i need to run seperate client naming it gpu1 and run current client as gpu0
the bit i dont understand is it say's i need to have an output on the second card but dont have room for second monitor is there a way i can do this without resorting to the dvi-vga adapter bodge.

I couldn't find a solutoin, either you attach a monitor (in my case my monitor has three inputs VGA, DVI and HDMI) or you put on a dummy load. I got hacked off with it and went to Linux across the board.

Instructions for making a dummy load are here.
You then need to extend your desktop across what the system sees as two monitors.
It doesn't matter what you call the two clients as long as they're different. What matters is that you have -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 in the shortcuts you use to launch the clients. You may also need the -force <gpu type> command but I haven't used this so I'll leave checking the values of <gpu type> as an exercise for the student.
