I have a 960 and 950 in a Win 7 system. I was previously only letting BOINC use the 950, this morning I removed that restriction so the 960 could be used. Moo is assigning both GPUs to the same work unit. i.e. Running (0.2 CPUs + 2 NVIDIA GPUs (devices 0,1)) However if I look at the GPU usage only the 950 (device 1) is actually being used. It is also running these work units much more quickly than before, about 110 seconds each. |

Copy and paste this into NOTEPAD and then save it as a txt type file with the name cc_config.xml into the folder c:\programfiles\boinc and exit and then restart Boinc and it should start using both gpu's <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> If you already have a cc_config.xml file just add the lines into the existing file. |

Yes I have that in the cc_config already. The system is currently running 2 Enigma GPU tasks at the same time with no issue. |

No what I am saying is both GPUs are being assigned to a single work unit, something I have never seen before on other projects. So in Boinc manager status it looks like: Moo! Wrapper Running(0.2 CPUs + 2 NVIDIA GPUs (devices 0, 1)) But again only one of the GPUs is showing any usage. I tried resetting the project but that did not change it. I will remove and re add it next, after I finish the current work units. |
