Second GPU no worky (seti)

TheDogFather · 22 Dec 2009 at 17:55

I had everything running fine i7 and a 9600gso, I removed the 9600 and put a 260 in, checked it worked then put the 9600 back in and moved the 260 to the other slot. Both cards work, have a picture, can move the mouse from one to the other, but one says not used in boinc manager

What am I missing ?

Lunatics_Win64v0.2_(SSE3+)_AP505r168_AKv8bx64_CudaV12

OS: Microsoft Windows 7: Ultimate x64 Edition, (06.01.7600.00)

NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 260 (driver version 19107, CUDA version 2030, compute capability 1.3, 896MB, 582 GFLOPS peak)

NVIDIA GPU 1 (not used): GeForce 9600 GSO (driver version 19107, CUDA version 2030, compute capability 1.1, 512MB, 264 GFLOPS peak)

Have you disabled SLI?

Try the cc_config.xml:

<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

"use_all_gpus" is a flag - "0" = No, "1" = Yes.

But you might still have trouble with different generations of cards in the one box.

I can't find either of these, no setting in the nvidia control panel or in the bios that looks anything to do with sli and the search cant find a cc_config.xml

I'm half way between XP and 7, not even half way, new computer with 7 but I hate it so much its just doing seti, just cant find anything

another thing, those 2 files something 2.3, where were they supposed to go in the programs>boinc folder or in the seti folder with all the work units ?

TheTross · 22 Dec 2009 at 19:29

The 2.3 files go in the Seti folder with all the work units:

...\BOINC\Data\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu

The SLI setting I referred to is in the BIOS, not in the nvidia control panel. If SLI is enabled then I think BOINC only sees one card.

OK I've got the 2.3 files in the right folder now.

I made a cc_config.xml and put Biffa's info in there, but its complaining missing start tag in cc_config

edit/ after much messing around with different text and xml editors, I copied another file, added the info and renamed it, jobs a good en, now crunching on both.
