I recently add a GTX 780 to a machine with a 770 and a 690, and the GK104 cards, despite correctly installed,are not in use by BOINC. BOINC says "not in use". I recall something about BOINC chosing just the fastest card on a machine and ignoring others. There is any command that I must add to cc_config or something? | |

If it chose just the fastest card, only the 690 would work. I am personally not the most informed on this topic. But I'll do some digging in case no one answers first. | |

<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>in the "options" section of the config file, stop and restart BOINC. | |

Yeah, I will try that and let you know. In fact it seems boinc choose the fastest GPU, not "card", by the measured GFLOPS | |

<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>in the "options" section of the config file, stop and restart BOINC. That does the trick mate, ty. Let´s see how it performs now against a 770 and a 690 that are in the same host. http://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=145900 | |

Let SK know if your observations differ from what he's gathered so far. | |

Will do. But yesterday I receive a distress call from my SETI group, GPUUG, and they are needing me for a bit of time. So I will take a break from GPUGRID (sadly), but will keep improving my hosts, and by the time im back, it may be for another couple of years season. | |

FireHawk, that host of yours with the 690 and the 770 is interesting as 690's times are quite close of 770's. Could you post the spec of both cards?. Thanks. | |

The time are closer because the 690 runs with 1160mhz at GPU and a 600mhz memory overclock. pretty close to the stocks setting of the 770, hence the close times. | |

Thanks for the confirmation. Some cards boost very high, so anything non-reference is going to look anomalous/make the table look out. | |

I heard SETI has trouble with work supply.. so be sure to keep GPU-Grid as backup ;) | |
