I've been getting weird issues ever since I started running 2 SMP clients on my Quad. My screen will go black after running the GPU client and it's like 5-9% on a WU and Vista will say the device driver stopped responding and recovered, ect. Then when I restart the GPU client it gives the Early WU end error. However, both SMP clients are running fine. I also tried reinstalling video drivers. I don't get any device driver failures while playing games.

All three client are on different Machine ID's. Does the GPU client need the '-local' tag now too or is it something else?

And I have two new additions arriving this weekend as well...

I'll have my 6000+ and onboard ATI Radeon 3200 HD serverish computer
And a PS3 will join

x4 slots do not slow down GPU2. You are missing almost 2k ppd from the GSO. Does Rivatuner allow both cards to be overclocked?

I barely overclocked it, just to see what the gains from a small increase were and now I'm up to 2880 ppd on the GSO. I still don't know where it's all going, but I'm confident I should be able to hit 3.3k or so with a stable overclock.

Edit: But to answer your question, yes, it does. And my timings for everything seem to be drastically lower than what I've seen quite a few 8800GS run at...and I believe they are the same card, no? Either way, if I don't go home this weekend I'll try to pump it up to see how much I get...I really don't need the 9600GSO to be stable, either. I'm just using it to display a monitor and to handle the PhysX graphics which I don't really utilize. Everything else is done through the 8800GT, I'm fairly positive. I could be wrong though, I am certainly no expert when it comes to dual graphics cards.

Hey,

I'm helping 'Bow' out, who's just started folding for us. He's got 2x 8800GT's but only 1 monitor, running on Vista 32bit. Every guide i've found on multi-gpu folding says you need 2 monitors and to extend the desktop. Has anyone found a way of doing it without the second monitor?

Thanks.

xazraelx · Oct 10, 2008, 11:45 PM

There's a workaround that involves using both cords that the monitor can use (ie, if it has a dvi and a whatever that other thing is called), then plug one cord into the main 8800GT, and the other into the second 8800GT (just check extend desktop onto it...nothing will happen, of course, but still). There's a guide around somewhere, I'll try to find it for you.

Here's one thing I found:

Does Bow have a TV that he can run the S-Video to from the 2nd card? I have done this in Vista64. I am looking into inventing in cheap VGA dummy plugs that I can mail to members in need.

My tv is to far away, I do have a second monitor but no place to put it

keep the ideas comming.
I have to work all weekend, but am going to work on overclocking the cards when I can.

Once I get both cards Folding may get the cpu going also.

set it on the floor it only needs to be there to get things started!

Bow · Oct 11, 2008, 02:18 AM

Ok then what do I have to do?

xazraelx · Oct 11, 2008, 03:58 AM

Unplug it after you start the clients. That's all.

And buck, there are already VGA dummies for sale around ~15 a piece (not worth it to me, 3 dummies = one 9600GSO)

I can solder em' up for a few dollars each. I'm pretty handy like that

Rookie question, when Folding with 2 gpu's you turn sli off. I do alot of gaming, so can I turn sli on to play or will is screw things up?

If you are gonna fold and play games at the same time, leave SLI off. SLI cannot be on at anytime while folding. I also find that i must drop my primary cards clocks to stock or she crashes mid-game. This is only when playing games BTW.

mmaakk · Oct 11, 2008, 07:31 PM

If I'm folding while playing, I loose in average 10FPS over the total - results obtained via FRAPS.

mmaakk · Oct 11, 2008, 08:19 PM

I need some help please! I know I SUCK - don't need to mention.

I just want to add the statistics info. Just like Buck_Nasty have. I edited my signature adding the link:

But the result is just the link, not showing the square info.

Do you guy realize how many points we are cranking out each week? At out current average of 143k ppd we will have 1.01 Million points per week!

Is anyone having trouble getting cards up and running??? Please post so we can get it sorted out. Great work and Keep Folding!!!

I am a dumbass when it come to software, copying files and what not, so to get the other card going is going to take me some time...:laugh...sry

Hey Buck, Great numbers!

But I'm not very happy with my numbers.

Do you think ATI cards will get a better performance in a near future? I already replaced a HD 3850 to a 8800 GTS G92 (spent $ 160.00) and I went from 2K PPD to 6K!! I'm impressed with nVidia!!

That's the deal:

I'm whiling to spend $ 300.00 more and get 2 9800GT, replacing my 2 HD 3870.
