Folding Forum

My addition of another video card landed in disaster. Both were NVidia but the older one didn't work with my other paid for program.

It has been removed and been replaced by an identical video card. As I go forward is there a way to disambiguate between the one making my game work and the other one. I would like to be able to turn off the one I'm not using.

When you have more than one supported GPU, FAH can specify which GPU to use. In V6 you specify -gpu N as a command line parameter. In V7 you set gpu-index to N.

It's not always easy to determine N for which GPU but it's pretty certain that they're 0 and 1 or they're 1 and 0. Check with a GPU monitoring program to see which one is working.

Experimentation is likely to be the order of the day. What I appear to face is two GPU instances in my Start bar and disambiguating them is the question. The assumption is that both are folding and I want to turn off the one that the game and primary monitor are using.

The first comment in this thread is ambiguous. I now have two Evga GTS450s.

I'd recommend that you use V7. I don't have a dual-GPU setup, but from what I hear it makes configuration much easier than with v6, but there are still a few glitches here and there that will be taken care of in time. It consolidates management into one single GUI, making control of your setup much simpler. Download and links to useful help sites are on the front page of folding.stanford.edu

Thank you. Will check it out.
