I added the GTX 260 so that I now have slot 1 GTX 275, slot 2 GTX 285 and in the 3rd slot the GTX 260. Boinc now sees the GTX 285 and GTX 260 but not the GTX 275. They all show up in device manager, MSI afterburner, GPUZ and so on just not in Boinc.

Silly stupid question... Did you reinstall the drivers after plugging in the card? Features for each card are controlled during the installation. Otherwise the OS has little clue.

Not so silly...I just installed the card and windows said it was installing it and left it at that .LOL guess I need to suspend Boinc and then uninstall the driver and reinstall?

What Pappa said is true, You need to reinstall Yer video driver, So that the OS will see all 3 cards. I had to do something similar with the 295 as one gpu wasn't showing up, So I went in and found one gpu had one driver and the other had another, Once both had the same driver all was well, But their on the same card, Multiple cards will just need an uninstall and reinstall of the video driver, Simple really.

Windows sees all three cards so does GPUZ just boinc dosn't. It seems to see 2 of the cards and changes which 2 it sees when I restart boinc.

Well You could try and uninstall the driver globally from "Add or Remove Programs" and then reinstall the driver and let the OS discover all 3 at once, The OS thinks that You have two cards still, The OS is confused as the driver is only allowing the OS to see 2 of Your 3 cards, Uninstall and then reinstall, Or take the 260 out, these are Yer choices.

Did You reboot the PC after uninstalling? If You did, Then I don't know what to say.

Maybe one of the beta 196 series from Nvidia might work, You could try that.

Hiamps the best way to make sure that the drivers are uninstalled is to:
Go to Device Manager and uninstall all the Display Devices.When asked do you want to uninstall drivers as well Tick Yes.
That way WinDoze sets the cards to VGA devices.
Remove the Nvidia folder where the drivers are stored and reboot.
WinDoze will then look for installed driver folder, at that point cancel each time it asks for a search for the driver.
Do an install of 19107 driver,and then reboot.
All hopefully will be well then.

The reason as I understand it for uninstalling the display device and driver this way is to do with cleaning up the Registry of previous installs.
This was for Vista but I am sure the same should apply to Win7.

I havn't had to tweak any files with the Rig on a Bench.
Just installed the 295 and the 2 275's and all was well.
I am using XP though.

Message 967275 - Posted: 31 Jan 2010, 11:02:15 UTC - in response to Message 967273.  

I added the GTX 260 so that I now have slot 1 GTX 275, slot 2 GTX 285 and in the 3rd slot the GTX 260. Boinc now sees the GTX 285 and GTX 260 but not the GTX 275. They all show up in device manager, MSI afterburner, GPUZ and so on just not in Boinc.

Isn't there some boinx xml file where you have to enter the number of GPU's you have?

If windows sees all three card, and the test program too, I bet it is some xml file in Boinc you have to tweak

I seem to remember such a thing..

Sten-Arne

I think you're remembering BOINC v6.4.5

We're a long way past that stage now.

Try putting this in cc_config (located in the BOINC data directory)

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

Needs BOINC 6.6.25 or above to work. If cc_config already exists, just insert whatever parts of the snippett above are "missing" from it. Use Notepad to change it (or create it) to prevent extraneous hidden charators being inserted.

EDIT:
Source: BOINC cc_config Options

I thought you only had to do that to get windows to see it...I will try again later as I didn't delete the Nvidia folder and it did seem to already find my cards on restart. Missed one step and that probably did me in....

Hiamps did you manage to get this working? Just curious as this thread seemed to stop without a resolution. It would be good to know what you did to fix it.

Just wondering if perhaps it was the Cuda section of the App_info file maybe set to the wrong number of GPUs? Or did you have to completely remove the drivers and BOINC and then reinstall Drivers then BOINC?

Anyways, please let us know.

Thanks,

Howie

Yes, I had forgot about the dummy plugs. Mine worked well with 2 cards and only one monitor so I never had to use a dummy plug before. Now I have 2 of them and at least my Pendings are shooting up. LOL It's kinda odd that windows and every other program can see the cards yet Seti can't....
