CP,
1. Are you using a DVI connector for the GX2?
2. Do you have an HDMI port on that GX2 and do you have the HDMI to DVI adapter?

1- Yes, DVI
2-it has a HDMI port, but no adapters on hand :(
 
Reason I asked is because I remember not being able to extend a second card if I didn't use the HDMI output on the GX2 as my main monitor. I can do some troubleshooting since I still have my GX2 and a spare GTS250 and see if I come across the same issues you're having.

I would highly appreciate that bro :respect:

No go bro, could not get the rig to go past the "Windows Welcome" screen when both cards are installed (GX2 and 250). It could also be a limitation on my motherboard cause I only have 2 PCI-E slots. I remember my K9A2 was able to run this same setup. Sorry m8:(
 
I have a K9A2 sitting around....;)
 
This board does 3x sli so that shouldn't be the issue. I have to see, maybe I need the dummy bongle for the 3rd card?
 
I would try the dummy plug and if not then def try the adapter as Bog advised. Its almost like the HDMI use that is req when you fold on a GTX295.

I have one of those DVI/VGA adapters so i'll give that a shot when I can get some resisters.

$1 for 6 @ RadioShack :) I will also try and see if I can find a DVI->HDMI adapter, I got a few from Xazax like a year ago.

I have a buddy who can probably just get me a few from Radioshack, he works there. I'll speak to him tomorrow, he probably just has some laying around or something.

These babies are good for plus 10.5 KPPD each but I noticed that GPU3 uses the CPU a lot more then the normal one does. I went from less then 1% CPU to around 5% (E8400) when I replaced my GTX260 with the MSI 460GTX. They also do run colder and with a lot less noise. Nice buy KieX.
 
Nice looking cards! Let us know the numbers when you have them running.

Waiting for a VGA dongle so won't be able to take for full spin until a few days time. 275's will be down for a bit too as I may sell them (or at least one).

They're going in my i7 rig, so even with WCG there should be plenty of headroom to handle them. The main reason I got them was because of the cooler running and PPD bump. It gets too damn hot in my tiny room!
 
uh oh, bog brought out his "bigger guns" :laugh:
 
Guys,

I intend to get a Killawatt meter which operates at 220v. But the one listed on egg says the max input voltage to be 125VAC. Any alternate products u know of that operate at 220v?

Im posting it here as there was a discussion abt this in this thread.

Quick question guys, I am RMAing my GTX 275 with XFX. Should I clean every spec of dust off the fan blades before sending it in (I have heard stories about excessive dust voiding warranties).

Thanks!
 
It's what you can remove bro, I've sent dirty ones in before and it was never turned down.
 
Thanks Bog :cool:

I am going to wait til Monday to send it off, can't miss out on the prime folding weather this week :D

Is that GTX 275 running in 2D mode? XFX is pretty good about RMA's, I even told them that my GTX 275 couldn't fold in 3D mode. johnspack owns that card now.
