Title: Windows Multiple GPU
Post by: Jarredm on June 14, 2011, 06:57:17 PM
So I am having trouble getting two GPUs running in windows.  I am wondering if there is a secret!  ;)

I have a 6870 that is installed and running with poclbm with guiminer.  I also have a 4870 card in the board's second x16 slot.  The device manager see the card and correctly identifies it. However, when I run poclbm in command line mode I only see [0-0] Barts as well as the CPU. I have also noticed that there is no mention of the 4870 card in CCC. I believe that I'm missing something basic since this is my first attempt at multiple GPUs on a mobo.

connect a monitor or a dummy plug to your 4870..without that CCC wont load it up

Ah!  Now all those dongles on the GPUs in the pictures here make sense!  I have seen pictures of a jumper wire between two pins on a DB15 VGA connector/adapter.  I assume that this takes care of the presence detection for the card?  Can someone fill me in on what pins to jump?

Thank you so much!  You have saved me ruining a card!  Send me your address and I'll drop you a bit of gratuity.  I'll check out that link and see if good'ol radioshack has the correct resistance size.
