Hey all I just gave my PC a face lift and have a second graphic card and wanted to know if there was a way to run one client on the old card and my other 4 off the new one. I have 2 monitors.

OS?
Innerspace can do this on any OS, but with Windows 7 I didn't have any need to worry about it since they managed to make it work right!
OS is XP for right now might be upgrading to Vista is a week or so if they still offer the W7 free upgrade if not will wait till & is out then.
No dont do this your performance will suffer horribly. The two cards will fight for the same resources in your system and you will get incredibly low FPS. Just use one card unless they are SLI or Crossfire.
Zanthor and I beg to differ.Quote:

I just got a motherboard with 2 PCI Express slots. Running an 8600GT right now. But I've been eyeing the Radeon X1300 sitting there gathering dust. Not sure how well this would work in Win7 since it's 2 completely different chipsets.
I wont work as far as i can remember. you cannot put an Nvidia card and an ATI card in the same box, your best bet would be to get rid of your lower spec card and change it for the correct chipset, so you are running both Nvidia or ATi
Correct. You run into a problem when choosing a GPU driver.Quote:

i just got the 4850x2 a day or so ago, and i tell ya, im remembering why i stuck with nvidia for all those years. running windows 7 only 1 of the 2 gpu's is loading up, the other one is at 0 activity (according to the catlyst prog the 4 client is running on core 1, and the single on core 2) but only core 2 is seeing activity of around 48% or so, and the other core at 0. went to av with the new setup and it was damn near unplayable, i was getting better response with the single 8800gt 512, and the new card has 4x the ram on it. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna RMA it and swap it for the BFG gtx280 oc edition (jst 20$ more) unless something big changes and both cores start loading up, the confusing thing about this card is the 4x dvi plugs, ive tried plugs 1 and 2, 1 and 3, all combo's seem to give the same result (crossfireX is OFF) with it on, only 1 display works no matter what. i seen in the help where it had that i could span horizontally onto the other display, but i could never get that option, the one time it did show, i clicked it and my pc turned off (never had that hap b4) so far, not happy with the card, i'll stop my rant, lolZ
Same as the thread in the Softwsre Forum. Use Window 7 or Innerspace. They both are known to work with the multi-GPU setups
i am using windows 7
try using SLI mode (guessing ;))
