Title: 2nd GPU Not available Guiminer
Post by: rikazashi on April 03, 2013, 11:01:57 AM
Hi guys,

Whilst i know this is only the newbie thread, i thought id ask a quick question and see if anyone has any thoughts on my problem.

I am mining with my main Nvidia graphics card fine (windows 7, guiminer) and i thought id pop my old gpu in and use that concurrently (GeForce 6800).

Firstly windows detected it, but guiminer didnt show it, so i updated drivers and still it didnt show. So after googling/reading on forums i found you need a dummy plug or actual output connected. So i run a second monitor through the 6800, its working fine, but it still doesnt show up on guiminer after system resets, updates, i've tried phoenix, and opencl miner (through latest guiminer update) and still nothing. I have found the card on bitcoin compatibility lists, so that should be ok. I'm completely stumped.

Its a long shot somebody can help me, but you don't ask, you don't get. Thanks in advance.
