When you choose your second video card, make sure it has the same number of shaders as the card you already have. There are issues when the two cards don't match in that regard.

Note, 2 card solutions, yes, almost identical cards. I tried a 9800 GTX+ and a 260 GTX, no way. Now every dual or triple card box has identical cards.

This was quite ironic last night. I purchased my 5th gtx 260 card, 4 of which are 216 and I tried to install 1 8800gts with 1 gtx 260 and it was a no go. All was tried before I read this. I did not know of this information until I tried and read the thread last night. Wierd? :roll:

And here I was feeling like a slacker because I can't keep up with you :roll:

I don't mind getting creamed when you are sporting such awsome stuff!

:thumbsup:

Only, I am still following in your footsteps. 🙂 With Gravity, Mark, Yourself and everyone else in here, I have a long way to go and will always be humbled by gracious company. It's the examples and guidence you give, is another reason why I am here. :beer: 😉

I thought I would be a "big cheese" building my quad-GPU (now triple-GPU, one burned out LOL), but my PPD were dwarfed by the more serious F@H contributors.
Still, I got about 8k/day, not so bad. I have that box sitting idle now, becuase I don't have room to hook it up, although I will be testing a new layout for my apt soon.

I want to run my F@H box headless, running WHS, if I am able to.

If you're running GPU F@H I think you'll be met with a whole ton of fail; something about the really stupid way RDP handles video output means that any F@H GPU cores crash when you log in.

EDIT: Right now I'm stuck only being able to run GPU F@H and not the SMP client because everytime I fire it up my shitty UPS starts beeping about an overload. Damnit Amazon, where's my new APC 🙁?

I have only 4 monitors... They are all accessed through KVM's. What am I missing ?

I was reading about F@H GPU crashing when you use Remote Desktop because the RDP video driver takes control, trashing CUDA in the process.

Yeah, from my experiments with RDP, F@H doesn't like it.

I was able to use UltraVNC, WITHOUT the "mirror driver", and F@H kept crunching.
