Setup GPU Client for 2nd GPU

[Hay11Mac]

DVI out the GFX card VGA into TV

 

[stevehat1]

Is the TV on, the card must see a load for all of this to work

 

[kup]

Hmm. That is odd.

GPU2 or 3? What card is in that rig?

 

[Hay11Mac]

Gts 250

Yes TV was on

 

[kup]

I'm kinda stumped. Let me think on it and I'll get back to you.

 

[Hay11Mac]

could it be that I am excuting it thru remote desktop?

 

[kup]

Ah. Yes. Bugger. The remote desktop reset the graphics driver and causes the UNSTABLE_MACHINE error.

If you run it via the Startup folder it should be fine (until remote desktop logs in).

I'm not sure if things like VNC have the same problem?

 

[Hay11Mac]

ok, gunno plug keyboard and mouse into rig, and run it straight from that see what happens

 

[Hay11Mac]

Now It configuring ok, but when trying to run - i get nvcuda.dll is mising

 

[kup]

Hmm. That sounds like Cuda wasn't updated with the drivers.

Got a link to the drivers you used?

This was it

 

[kup]

Ok, I know it'll be a pain but try the 197.45 driver instead. According to Stanford, 2xx series drivers are Fermi only.

YAY finally working although temps are a bit worrying

CPU 90+

GPU 80+

When you have fans on side of case, are they meant to be blowing into case or exhausting???

Thanks everyone for alllllllllllllll your help

 

[kup]

I would go front and side blowing in, top and rear sucking out.

Did the 197.45 drivers fix it?

Temps do seem high, As far as the fans you'll have to experiment to see what works best. All of my stuff is open case or case less

 

[Hay11Mac]

The Cuda toolkit fixed it.......

My CPU cooler isn't that great, just ordered a Noctua, think that is probably making GFX hot too, Just running GFX Client tonight, as CPU seems to be getting to hot, will run that when I get the Noctua

Thanks again for allllllllllllllllllllllllll your help guys you have been great

 

[kup]

Our pleasure.

 

[stevehat1]

Our pleasure.

2nd that!!!

Glad you got it working hayleywow! That Noctua should definitly help. I'm curious to see what kind of ppd you get with that 6 core i7

 

[Hay11Mac]

Me to can't wait to get the Noctua, also I brought another GTS 250 off a friend for £40, so will be dumping that in too

One thing I have noticed is the GFX client runs quicker, does the WU faster

Also EVGA Precision is still say GPU Usage 0% but temp shows that something is happening LOL
