2nd GPU in crossfire not showing/working

[T.F.S.]

Sorry I was looking at estimated TPF in FAH.

I downloaded a hardware monitor and it also says there is no load on the second card, it's not hot and the fans are not going crazy like it used to so I think it is safe to say that it is not operational.

I dont know what drivers I am using, sorry I am not much help am I lol.

Your Kombuster image appears to show you're using 13.2 which partly explains the long TPFs.

You can get the appropriate 14.4 drivers from: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/d ... t-packages

If one of your GPUs has no load that does suggest both work units are being processed by the same GPU.

I suggest you finish the work units as I described on the previous page, uninstall folding@home including data, install the 14.4 drivers, restart Windows and reinstall the folding@home software in that order.

When you configure the CPU slot limit it to 6 cpus rather than leaving the setting at -1 so that your GPUs have access to some needed CPU resources.

Estimated TPF (and ETA) take a long time to stabilize. You can't trust them unless you wait for several percent of a WU to complete.

They both seem to be working OK after a driver update and reinstall of FAH as recommended, thanks.

Both cards show 100% activity and kick out a serious amount of heat!

I also changed CPU slot limit to 6 but I am not sure if that improved anything if going by the amount of points totaled each day is anything to go by?

That would be the proper test. Feel free to increase it and see if your PPD increases. It is always reversible.

Just note that 7, and 11 tends to be a poor numbers for threads (6, 8, 10, 12 are much better). some projects fail when using prime numbers of cores are used. Also, you limit the number of projects availible because the researchers tend to blacklist machines with seven or 11 cores to limit those failed WU's

[T.F.S.]

Just realised that the reason my PPD is so low is because my passcode was removed when I deleted and then reinstalled FAH

I am not seeing any problem in the logs.

Good news then!

The build pics of the rig are here, I built the whole thing into a coffee table because it seemed like a good idea at the time...

PPD seems to be around 170k now and rising so it must be working well.
