When running multiple AMD GPU's in one system, if they both download a task from the same project (EX 18265) They will say they are running under 2 different GPUS but both Tasks will Utilize one GPU (the 7800XT) and credit lowers (checking utilization also shows only one in use). This does not happen if the GPU's are running different projects.


Specifications:
R7 5700x (not in use)
32GB DDR4
RX 7800XT (GFX1101)
Rx 5500 (GFX 1012)
Windows 11
Client 8.5.5

Click on the cog looking thing to go into settings. Click on the padlock icon bottom right corner. Unlock advanced options.
on left hand side you will see extra options show up, and Default resource group. select that, then untick everything, and zero the CPU slider.
Click Add on left hand side, name it RX7800XT, tick GFX1101 and HIP.
Click Add again on left hand side, name it RX5500, tick GFX1012 and HIP only. Click Save. Now each GPU can be controlled separately. Try folding like that and see what happens.
Which driver are you running? What is Device Manager showing in regards to Display Adapters?
Try updating fah client to latest beta from foldingathome.org/beta. By any chance, have you updated to v8.5.5 from older fahclient version, like 7.6.21?

Thanks! that first thing fixed it (going into advanced settings and unticking and reticking everything). they are both running the same project but are properly using different gpus, thanks! (also drivers are the latest AMD release 26.3.1)
