HI , i need your help. 

how i can use my two GPUs ?

i have 1070 and 1030 but run only 1070 :(

found here something for cc_config. but not running  or dont know how to do it .. 

 

 

 <cc_config>                                       
             <options>                                   
                                                                                                           
                      <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>           
                                                       
             </options>                                 
  </cc_config>

 

You copy and paste that group of commands using a text editor, NOT a word processing program, and save it in the folder in Windows of c:/program data/boinc/ using the file name cc_config.xml be sure to save it as a txt type file so Boinc will recognize it. Things copied into the Boinc folder mean that every project can use it instead of just one project.

There is a corresponding folder in Linux and Mac's too but I don't remember the path off the top of my head.

Yup it takes that to get things all sorted out by Windows.

Glad it's working now keep an eye on the heat generated by maybe using a small program called MSIAfterburner, it works for both Nvidia and AMD gpu's and depending on your card may even let you adjust the fan speed of the gpu to help keep it cooler. I usually get it here https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-download.html but lots of places have it. If you use the link scroll to the bottom of the page and choose a "stable" version as opposed to the a Beta one at least to start with.
