    Thinking of upgrading MOBO and CPU

    I am just looking to maybe bump up my crunching a little. I am having problems getting my current mobo to see both of my gpu's so that also is a reason that I am looking into upgrading. I am not brand loyal so any product is fair game. I just want to be able to get more points and run multpile gpu's for crunching.

    Here is my current set up.

    What is the problem that you're seeing where it's not showing both GPUs?

    Windows does not see it. It does not show up in device manager. I can only get one card to work at a time one card is a gtx465 the other is a gtx280. I give up on it I been tryin to figure it out for a month only thing i can think of is somthing is up with my mobo.

    Will the 465, for example, work in both slots?

    And did we cover this in another thread, or am I going crazy?

    Yeah, he said that both cards work individually - the GTX 460 by itself and the GTX 280 by itself. However, when he goes to add the second card, Windows won't even see it. At first I misunderstood and thought it was a BOINC issue, but it can't be -- for some reason, Windows won't even detect the second GPU.

    That sure sounds like the second slot on the mobo is not working properly, doesn't it?
