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.

Hmmm... Maybe the file properties are set to read only? If so uncheck the read only box and then click the OK button.

Try coping from the text below

<cc_config>
   <options> 
      <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
      <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
  </options>
</cc_config>
