Setting up GPU2 on ATI cards! - Page 3

oily_17 · Dec 5, 2010, 02:22 AM

Haven't tried it with W7.

Were the rest of the variables set to the correct value, if so, pretty easy then.

Hope it helps your cards gain a few extra PPD, although I have given up on AMD GPU's for folding.

Still waiting for a new client to release the full potential of these cards.

Yea, I need to get back to NVidia, wasn't folding at the time I got this card.

I've been out of the loop for a while, do the GPU clients still utilise only a fraction of the power of ATI cards?

No change.

Please forgive my ignorance, I'm not new to F@H but I don't know how to install it to utilize both cores of the 5970. Is there a tutorial for that?

Here: How to Setup ATI "X2" cards folding dual GPU

If you're using Windows 7/Vista there is no way around not using a "dummy plug" in order to get the 2nd GPU to work.

What unit in Ft. Lewis?

MAGMADIVER · Jan 13, 2011, 11:58 PM

1-14 CAV 3-2 SBCT

Dummy plug...how does one go about making one?

I have a dual monitor set-up does that throw a wrench in anything?

Here is how's to make one: How to make a Dummy VGA Dongle

If you plan on connecting 2 monitors to the card then you do not need a dummy plug.

1-14 CAV huh.......Used to be in 5-20 IN

I'm glad you returned home safe. I attended too many vigils for fallen Soldiers.

Actually if you hold tight for a bit Stamford are putting out V7 of F@H which is supposed to fix all the problems of running multiple GPU's and CPU's with just one program it's due out Q1 2011

mcloughj · Jan 17, 2011, 12:26 AM

I would like to see that happen... been waiting wayyy to long for that.

Athlonite · Jan 17, 2011, 12:37 AM

yes Haven't we all I got so sick n tired of the fiddling round I stopped folding but once V.7 comes out I'll be right back on it with smp + 2x HD5770's

although I did find a proggy that purported itself as being able to do it, called FAH GPU Tracker V2 but it was a shit to use and only managed to get smp and 1xHD5770 at a time to actually work
