    Re: Nvidia and ATI in the same box

    I just did this with 3 machines and this is what I did/found.

    1. If you can get it to work under Vista you are a smarter than I am.
    2. Install ATI into slot 0 and get it totally working ... including BOINC.
    3. Stick in Cuda card with NO dummy plug/monitor and don't extend desktop.
    4. Load the Nvidia driver. I ONLY installed the display driver not complete pkg.
    5. I put use_all_gpus>1<use_all_gpus in the cc_config.
    6. I'm controlling both cards with MSI Afterburner

    Works under W7 with 5970/GTX 570, and 5870/GTX 570

    It works with CAT 10.10, 10.12, 11.3, and 11.5. Nvidia 266.58

    Yes sir, I'm running Moo and PG on 3 different computers. 2 w/ 5870/570 and 1 w/ 5970/570. Absolutely no problem. On one 5870/570 computer they are clocked at 950/850 (750W PSU). On the 5970/570 they are clocked at 900/850 (1kw PSU).

    The 3rd computer has a weak 750W PSU so I can't overclock ... I have a replacement but haven't gotten around to it yet. Running that one at stock 850/797.

    For some reason, when running Moo, BOINC saw my 5970 as four GPUs, and the 570 as one. Moo ran on it without issue, but it looked weird as hell. Swapped the 570 out for a second 5970, everything works just fine. Weird. Dandasarge had a similar problem...

    Wierd, the 5970 w/ the 570 is seen as 2 on my machine and the stand alone 5970 is also seen as 2. I wonder if it is a driver/BOINC version issue?

    Could be - it worked though, so I didn't mess with it. The 2x5970 is now humming along nicely...
