Well if i plugged it into the other graphics cards wouldnt it display the same thing as the other graphics card was displaying?
BTW they are not in SLI.

ATTENTION ALL DUAL(or more) GPU USERS!!
I have just found a way that you can run a client on different gpus without the need of a VGA dummie or multiple displays in windows Vista.

1.Open up the folder in which you FAH folders are.
2.Run your first gpu client.
3.To run your second gpu client(or more)first single click the executable so it is highlighted.
4.Now unplug your VGA cable from your main card and plug it into the second card and wait for a display to show up(you wont see your icons)
5.Now hit the enter key on your keyboard once and wait 10 seconds.
6.Plug the VGA cable back into its origional video card.
You should now have your second FAH gpu client running. You can repeat this process to enable more gpu clients(assuming you have more than 2 gpus)without multiple monitors or a vga dummie.


All these steps assume your FAH clients are setup for multiple gpu use.

HAPPY FOLDING!

I believe this only works in Vista. I have had no such success in XP.

How come I've done 10 WUs and barely rank above someone who's done 3?
Is it because I've done a couple of small WUs, or for some other reason?

On the images it says 0 points and 0 workunits, while it should be 193 and 6 but I guess it will be updated soon.

Shutting down the Farm.

I am shutting down my folding farm on Wed morning. I will be out of town until Sunday(Whitewater Rafting in WV) and will start it back up then. I expect you guys to make up the difference in my absence. I hate doin this, as the team is going to lose 140K PPD over 4 days, but it is necessary. Keep foldin' boy's!

white water wafting eh? great fun. I take my son on a ww canoe trip each summer. What a riot.

I finally got my new linux machine folding last night. FaHmon says 1200ppd but the very first wu is 1700 points so 1.5 days to complete

so 1200ppd covers about 1/4 of one of your video cards

LOL, You got another 28 rigs to make up the other 33.6K? What CPU are you folding with on the Linux rig?

Every year my company takes our best customers to WV for some Class V whitewater on the Gualey River. Nothing like 7 guys in a RV for 5 days covering 1800 miles of highway. Oh, the stories I could tell...

Just an E1200 OC to 2.4GHz. Running the Linux SMP client.

7 guys in an RV. Sounds smelly

Ok i got some problems with my folding at home!
Currently i am running 2 gpus and a console client on each gpu. The first gpu runs fine 24/7 but as for the second i can only run it once before i get the error CORE_SHUTDOWN:UNSTABLE_MACHINE.
Can anyone tell me what this means and how i can fix it...
BTW i am using windows vista.

Thanks


Also the class 6 West virgina white water rafting is awesome... I went with my boy scout troop!

I'm back in action...I'm done with the SMP clients for now...we'll see what my e8600 @ 4.5GHz can do eventually...but for now it's EVGA GTX260 Core216 (stock atm) and my G/F's vGPU modded 850/2175 1100 w/AC S1 rv1 (had to modify to fit on Palit Sonic due to DVI plug layout) can perform. FAHMon detected no difference in PPD...still 4.2k-ish for 9600GT, and 7.2k-ish for GTX260.

Hell I had an e6400 I got from Xazax (good chip, nice OC-er) running at 3.2GHz that FAHMon said was getting the same 1.7kppd that my e8600 at 4.0 was getting...so I might uninstall and re-install the program. Too bad there's no PPD reset feature.

Either way I'm back in action and better than ever!
