That's usually a result of not having displays extended to the desktop via dummy plugs. Other than that a detect on reboot has always worked for me.

What he said. You need to have your desktop extended to at least the primary display port of each "card" per gx2, then RT will be able to detect it you can clock all you want.

Well now I know my Sunday project this week

**p2501** · 01-31-2009, 02:32 PM

What was your OS again? Just to know if you'll need dummies or not..

**=[PULSAR]=** · 01-31-2009, 07:38 PM

WinXP 32

**p2501** · 02-01-2009, 12:22 AM

Then you can forget about the dummies AFAIR.

**Sparky** · 02-01-2009, 12:19 PM

yeah, still need to "extend" the desktop to make it work tho.

Switched my folding rig over to a DFI X48 because of the stability issues with my DFI 790FX-M2R board and I can't recognized my third card at all. So, back down to folding with just two cards

Anyone here folding with three cards on a P35 board???

Sparky thanks for the advice folding my 9800GX2 @ 740/1900/2000

Just started folding again and have a question or 2. I am folding with a 4850 and their site recommended the system try version of gpu client. is this ok to run or would it be better to run a different client?

My system is currently a I7 920 on foxconn Bloodrage with 6gb Supertalent 1666 ram. Also folding with a GPU; I take it that you cannot run different instances per core since its should actually be using gpu instead, correct?

also running on my secondary system which has X1950XT, 9550, 4gigs ram, OC'd to 4ghz. I did not see a client that supports the older GPU's; can someone tell me if there is still a version that would support an X1950XT; or would it be better to fold off of the cpu, or get an upgraded card?

Thanks for any help or input

I run a systray one so I can easily turn it off when gaming. I don't think the X1950XT is supported. I'd put SMP on it for the CPU.

*cries* Guys ... start giving penalties , usually when I start with it Dak gets a heart attack from overdrooling

Has anyone had issues trying to run multiple nvidia cards on crossfire chipsets?

**Sparky** · 02-07-2009, 03:57 PM

You just can't run them in SLI is all. They still work individually, which is how they need to be when folding anyway.

**[XC] Synthetickiller** · 02-07-2009, 04:19 PM

Mak2000, I see your penalty.

I think I have a better one.

Multiple Nvidia cards on a Cross-fire board work great for folding!

I have 3 GSOs on an msi k9a2. Nuff said.

**=[PULSAR]=** · 02-07-2009, 10:45 PM

Maybe its just a problem with my DFI X48. Still waiting on my P35's back from DFI they have the slowest RMA department ever!!! I hope their reading this.

**Mpetrosino** · 02-07-2009, 11:59 PM

Just started folding for your team, quick question though. Do i need to submit something manually after i stop folding or does it submit everything by itself?
