[GregK]

i just hooked up the sli cable. in the nvidia settings its set to "all" in the cuda section i see nothing that says to turn on sli. restarted and still only crunching 1 workunit. this is on dirt. what am i doing wrong?

Greg, what does BM in the messages section? Does it show both GPUs?

[GregK]

yes but it says (not used).

[GregK]

doesnt show (2) in the project in my computer section either but im sure thats because they havnt updated yet?

You can try forcing BOINC to use both GPUs by adding <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> to your cc_config.xml file.

cc_config info ---> http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

Could be the Video Card Drivers haven't installed properly ... Try re-installing them again

Very good point!

my computer wont let me copy and past that either! wtf! im a total noob again at this. i forgot how to do all this stuff. feel completely retarded.

Hmmmm.... OK download the attachment and rename it by changing .zip to .xml then copy it to your BOINC Data folder. If you have a cc_config file there already then select to overwrite it when prompted by Windows.
