yes, it does, i guess you haven't plugged a monitor into your 2nd card, you'll need todo that on windows to activate the card in CCC. give it a try.

Does anyone know how to limit how much the Miner uses on my GTX 260?
EDIT: Found out I put "-w ##" in extra flags. (I wanted to keep my temps down, I average 61C and generating 30Mhashes)

Maybe someone could pay you bitcoin for having do Folding@Home ? 30mhash is is really worth it ?

As someone reading a lot of posts and who is new to the scene, thank you for an excellent alpha gui. Suggestion: Please add the -4way flag by default to the cpu miners, or have a drop down box of common flags like: dropbox: -4way [SSE2 optmizations] -v -w128 [suggested for Radeons] -v -w128 -f1 [if you don't mind desktop lag] etc. Thank you!

As someone reading a lot of posts and who is new to the scene, thank you for an excellent alpha gui.
Glad you're enjoying it The dropbox of common flags is a good idea; I listed the Radeon one in the tooltip because I felt that was the most common case. I found -f1 was hardly even worth using (gives me 184MHash instead of 182MHash) but it could be included. Please add the -4way flag by default to the cpu miners, or have a drop down box of common flags like:
Unfortunately, the -4way flag isn't supported right now, because the miner the GUI uses is poclbm which is purely an OpenCL miner. When you are CPU mining on it, it is actually running OpenCL code on your CPU which is the reason it's not as efficient as code specifically written for CPU. If you ask me it's pretty cool that it works at all It would be significant work to add a second miner to the GUI that supports 4way - not only do I have to integrate it into the code, I have to keep it updated, test it, and include it in the package. Which is not to say I won't do it - only that as the difficulty increases I question whether CPU mining will be a viable option in the future. Certainly writing lots of code to benefit the poorest miners is a questionable method of getting donations

Running command: poclbm.exe --user= can you add timestamps like this in console tab: 11/03/2011 17:21:05 Running command: poclbm.exe --user=

Sure, I'll include that in the next version. Running command: poclbm.exe --user= can you add timestamps like this in console tab: 11/03/2011 17:21:05 Running command: poclbm.exe --user=

You have to try for yourself to see if it results in better performance with your card. -w 64 or 128, with and without -v.

What I meant was that it would be nice to have drop downs or check boxes to select flags to run the miners with.
Also a very important question...
I have a crossfire setup.
I want to be able to run a miner on both GPUs while playing a game, BUT
with one of the miners set to a lower priority than the game.
Basically, Dragon Age II is awesome and I have way more graphical power than I need to play this relatively ugly DX 11 game (relative to Crysis 1)
I can leave one GPU to mine and only mine and have another GPU devote 30% of resources to the game with 70% going to the other miner.
I tried an experiment with running the heaven bechmark demo while running two miners on the cards. Surprisingly my Mh/s dropped only 20% while the benchmark was spittingout beautiful, no gorgeous scenes at around 20 frames per second in a 1024x768 window.
Basically I want to be able to play simpler 3d games while continuing to mine so as to always consume as close to 100% of available GPU resources.
I just can't stand the thought of wasting an entire GPU on a game that doesn't need it. I really don't need MSAA or 8x antialiasing to enjoy my games.

this miner seems to be using 100% of each of my cpu cores per instance when mining with my GPU's, what the heck is up with that?

Well, the results are: Nothing in extra flags: around 82mhash/s -v -w182: around 76mhash/s I tried too, -v, -v -w64, -w64. Max is with NOTHING
