having a look around on the gpugrid forum and saw the following comments:


Is anybody else seeing this ? I've not long set up a new system. i7 920 processor,two GTX 260's, Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard and Vista 64 SP2. Nvidia controller shows SLI active, as does GPU-Z. Boinc is running two GPUGRID tasks, one on each card !
I am running the latest beta driver 190.38 with boinc 6.6.36. I thought it might be this or perhaps because the motherboard can handle SLI (Nvidia) or Crossfire(ATI)generically i.e. without the plug-in SLI module between cards.
Previously SLI had to be disabled to allow boinc to see the devices seperately.
____________
I;ve just read the thread "Cuda 2.3".
With the introduction of 190.38 GPU's are seen as seperate entities with SLI on, Brilliant !!!

Just by the way this does not work in fah but seems to be a go here in case anyone is interested (Naja you were asking in the past weren't you)

I was only trying to help locate the issue for loonym. :up:

I tried this as soon as I posted over there and everything turn to sh1t in a heartbeat. Ended up having to do safe mode, uninstall the driver, reinstall the driver. Not sure, but I guess this MB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136066) doesn't have SLI.....? :rofl: 2 slots, 2 cards, but.....:ROTF:

Uh, No. :p: Forgot all about the bridge. :rofl: Damn!


As I said in the other thread: I've never done SLI. I guess I still haven't! :rofl:

This is interesting indeed, thanks OldChap. I'll try this within the next couple days and report back. I have 3 machines running sli with fairly nice cards for the occasional game with friends.
