Hi,

How do I get the 2nd gpu 750ti to crunch on my host Z600? I may be missing a setting somewhere??

Maybe someone has run into this, I did do a search for answers, one answer was to attach the 2nd card to monitor which I did.

I'm not using config_xml file, I was hoping I could plug and crunch. Thank you, Stu

See Client_configuration

See Client_configuration Options

<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
If 1, use all GPUs (otherwise only the most capable ones are used). Requires a client restart.

Good luck

Thank you, I did the config

Thank you, I did the config file using 1, and it  worked. This was combining a 1050ti and a 750ti. Boinc let both gpu's in with 2 tasks each.

FYI...when I was experimenting, combining two 750ti, one was a single fan the other a dual fan with 6 pin, (not exactly same GPU but close)-- boinc let both work without needing to make config file.

Appreciate the help,

Stu
