It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

I have a rig with two GPUs: a GTX 1080Ti and a GTX 1080. I've been folding with this system in Win10 for quite some time. Since Win10 is no longer supported, I decided to try Linux and chose Ubuntu 24.04. The system and F@H recognize both GPUs. However, if I enable folding on the 2nd GPU (the 1080), the folding core will SIGSEG after about 5 minutes.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 using the nVidia 580 proprietary drivers. I started off with F@H 8.4.9, but I installed the 8.5.4 beta to see if some bug had been fixed...
I've tried:
Folding with both GPUs enabled - doesn't work
Folding with only the 1080 Ti enabled - this works
Folding with only the 1080 enabled - doesn't work
I can share any logs that will be useful or other system / setup info.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried setting up two resource group, one for each card ?
AORUS Elite X AX B650E- Ryzen 9 9950X - Inno3D RTX 5080 - Ubuntu 25.04 - 6.14 kernel - 580.95
MSI MPG B550 - Ryzen 5 5600X - PNY RTX 4080 Super - Ubuntu 25.04 - 6.14 kernel - 580.95

Screenshot of your FAH system settings would help. Click on the i in the circle icon and post the screenshot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't tried setting up separate resource groups, so I gave it a go. Unfortunately, I get the same result. The good news is that the problem only stops the 1080 from folding now. The other resource group keeps running fine.

I've reviewed the FAQ for the
Particle coordinate is NaN , but that isn't really any help. Also, I don't think the problem I'm seeing is WU dependent. It happens every time I start folding on the 1080 within about 5 minutes of starting.

I dumped that WU and tried again. This log is more like what I normally see with a SIGINT.

I saw that the system info says the 1080 doesn't support HIP. I tried disabling that for the 1080, but it didn't make any difference.
Any suggestions?

HIP, if not supported, will not be used, ticked or un-ticked. For nvidia it is either CUDA or OpenCL. You can try unticking CUDA on both and see how it reacts. If it folds on both at the same time, tick CUDA on 1080ti, leave it unticked on 1080.
I believe this is OS or even BIOS level issue, as FAH sees everything correctly and is using everything correctly. Maybe something to do with PCIe slots. Try swapping the GPUs over in PCIe slots, and if this still doesn't work, connect your monitor output cable to the secondary card.
I'm just stalling here, until people who actually use nV show up

Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it!
I tried disabling CUDA on both GPUs. Same result. The 1080 Ti happily folds. The 1080 pretends like it's going to start for about 5 minutes and then fails with the logs reflecting SIGINT (2) (I can guarantee nobody pressed CTRL-C...).
I then tried splitting the CPU cores up among the two resource groups. I get the same result. What's interesting is the CPUs in the resource group with the 1080 ALSO stop folding with the logs showing SIGINT (2). When I had all of the hardware in the same resource group, only the 1080 failed...
I suspect it is something OS related (or OS client specific) since this machine will fold properly when I boot into Windows.

Historically Ubuntu+Nvidia driver have been bad with multi-gpu, not working with GPUs of different generations. Last time I managed to get a multi gpu setup it was with 2xGTX770+1xGTX750Ti. But now the cards are 3 slots wide anyway so multi GPU is not that common (without risers)
Out of curiosity did it fail under Wayland or X11 ? I think I had to mess with xorg.conf to get the 3 cards working.

As a side note, GPU resource groups should not have any CPU cores assigned. GPUs need free CPU threads for full performance, and not an assigned CPU threads. So each GPU resource groups should have cpu slider set to 0. And if you are folding on a CPU in the separate resource group, it should be set to 2 less threads/cores than the total available. Those 2 free cores/threads would then be free to service 2 GPUs.
This does not solve the problem here, but just thought it is worth mentioning, since I see you tried assigning CPUs to the GPU groups
