ASUS AMD Beta BIOS Releases

[taz2]

Tried out the 1605 M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 BIOS, hoping it might solve my 2 nvidia card problem (1gfx/1phx in theory), but the second card still goes unrecognized.

Was this supposed to be addressed in 1605, or just the mixed amd/nvidia setup?

I think it was supposed to be addressed in this BIOS. I upgraded my M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 to the latest release BIOS 1606, and it does NOT recognize my second graphics card. I have an HD5850 in the primary and 9600 GT in the second slot. Overall I'm pleased with the BIOS and have had no issues, it just doesn't fix the problem I (and others) are having.

I did NOT clear CMOS after loading, will try that when I get some time. Any other suggestions are welcome!

You guys do know that the lower slot is primary on ASUS M4A890 series boards right?

Yes, I know the slot difference. In my case, I have an HD5850 and 9600GT. Here are the various scenarios & how they play out:

• Just the HD5850: Recognizes it without an issue in primary slot
• Just the 9600GT: Recognizes it without an issue in the primary slot
• 9600GT in primary, HD5850 in secondary: Recognizes both cards
• 9600GT in secondary,HD5850 in primary: Recognizes only the HD5850

Again, I have not tried swapping cards or slots, etc., since upgrading to 1606 but I don't think it will matter since it can't see the 9600GT in the configuration I need.

So, still no fix for this.
I really would like to put a second nVidia card in my M4A89GTD PRO for folding@home.

The 1606 BIOS release notes specifically mention fixing support for two NVIDIA cards. Yet, my Geforce 460 and Geforce 240 fail to be detected simultaneously in the M4A89GTD Pro.

Try uninstalling your gpu drivers & boot and install them again , for the hell of it give that a try .

Device manager, AMD Overdrive, GPU-z, do not recognize a second GPU installed in the computer. The GPU does work and is recognized if installed as the sole GPU, just not as a secondary one...even if it is only for physics.

Uninstalling and reinstalling GPU drivers would very likely not work, but I can give it a try when I get time.

This is not very relevant when running Linux. The second Nvidia GPU doesn't even show up in the device list (lspci).

-_- I'm not setup in BTX >_<

lol seems kjinda odd when most use the highest slot.

but now I know why my bottom card shows up first in gpu-z.

In the manual if those took time to read it, it says to use lower slot, it also says when using single card to use the PCI adapter in the uper slot for full 16x operation of lower slot.

That doesn't help, I've tried this with no luck...
