Per the MemtestG80 README:
To run MemtestG80 on a GPU other than the first, use the --gpu or -g flags,
passing the index of the GPU to test (starting at zero). For example, to run
MemtestG80 on the third GPU in a system:
BTW, this is the program's help from the command line:
Code: Select all
-------------------------------------------------------------
| MemtestG80 v1.00 |
| |
| Usage: memtestG80 [flags] [MB GPU RAM to test] [# iters] |
| |
| Defaults: GPU 0, 128MB RAM, 50 test iterations |
| Amount of tested RAM will be rounded up to nearest 2MB |
-------------------------------------------------------------
Available flags:
--gpu N ,-g N : run test on the Nth (from 0) CUDA GPU
--license ,-l : show license terms for this build
--forcecomm, -f : DO send test results to Stanford (don't prompt)
--bancomm, -b : DO NOT send test results to Stanford (don't prompt)
--ramclock X , -r X: Specify RAM clock speed (for returned results) as X MHz
--coreclock X , -c X: Specify core/ROP clock speed (for returned results) as X MHz

Per the MemtestG80 README:
To run MemtestG80 on a GPU other than the first, use the --gpu or -g flags,
passing the index of the GPU to test (starting at zero). For example, to run
MemtestG80 on the third GPU in a system:
BTW, this is the program's help from the command line:
Code: Select all
-------------------------------------------------------------
| MemtestG80 v1.00 |
| |
| Usage: memtestG80 [flags] [MB GPU RAM to test] [# iters] |
| |
| Defaults: GPU 0, 128MB RAM, 50 test iterations |
| Amount of tested RAM will be rounded up to nearest 2MB |
-------------------------------------------------------------
Available flags:
--gpu N ,-g N : run test on the Nth (from 0) CUDA GPU
--license ,-l : show license terms for this build
--forcecomm, -f : DO send test results to Stanford (don't prompt)
--bancomm, -b : DO NOT send test results to Stanford (don't prompt)
--ramclock X , -r X: Specify RAM clock speed (for returned results) as X MHz
--coreclock X , -c X: Specify core/ROP clock speed (for returned results) as X MHz
I went throught all of that again, still can't get it to run on any other GPU. Can't figure out what I am doing wrong. At any rate, since I'm pretty sure the card is the problem, how does the conversation go with the manufacturer when you ask for a RMA because their card wont run F@H?

Last night I removed the card that has been giving me problems, moved card #2 to #1 slot, brought the box back up, everything looked fine. One, three and four were cruising along just fine. I checked again a while later and #4 decided to give me an EUE!
Tried restarting, clearing the work and queue, not happeninr. So I shut it down again, put problem card in #2 slot, brought it back on line and #4 started working again. Anybody know what might cause this?

It could be that your M/B is struggling to cope with 4 cards in it - try looking for a bios update from the manufacturer's web site, my asus 680 board had that problem, unfortunately in my case the bios fix didn't seem to do the trick

Another idea might be an overwhelmed power supply. Are all the components in the box getting enough juice? Figure out the wattage draws on everything and see if your power supply is maxed out.
Here's a few online calcs I found with Google:

According to the calculators, I am well within the power requirements of my system. Apparently my mobo didn't like having an empty slot between cards. I moved #4 to the #2 position and all is well. Should get my 4th card back from RMA tomorrow so we'll see.
