UK BOINC Team Forum

Scratch that, I have work it out.

Create a XML file (text file) called cc_config.xml

(In Windows 7) - Save it to:

C:\ProgramData\BOINC\

Use the following to put into the cc_config file..

<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

Save, and restart Boinc.

Your multiple GPU's will now be recognised.

Hi Chris,

I'm on holiday at the moment so don't pick posts up too quickly. You're in luck this time though

By default, BOINC will only use the most capable GPU that it finds, you need a entry in your cc_config file to make it use both of them.

As an aside, I believe Windows uses the GPU in the lowest number slot as its video output unless the BIOS is set up to tell it otherwise.

See previous post lol

Thanks for the info about Windows, I was not aware of that.

Hi Chris,

Seen it but in my defence, I started typing five minutes before I posted

Glad it's sorted.

Mark is on holiday this week and hence might not be able to answer directly, as he only has his phone (and his partner) with him !!!

No worries..

Tim, Mark, etc

Just as a heads up..

There are some brand new boxed 1070 and 1080 cards on Gumtree priced very cheaply.

If I remember rightly, the 1080 was £450, and the two 1070s were £330 and £350.

Just search the graphics cards section in London, on Gumtree for more info.
