I just installed a 550 TI in this computer: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4961575 I moved the ATI card to the 8x slot hoping it would still crunch, but Vista decides that it can't load the drivers up for it with the NVIDIA card in the #1 slot. I've googled for an hour trying to find a decent work around, but it looks like there isn't any. Is anyone aware of a successful work around for this? I'd like to finish up my current ATI w/u. Also, how long does it take to get CUDA w/u? |

ARGH, Vista - always tries to get things wrong, and succeeds, when it comes to a heterogeneous set of GPUs.... The way I would try is, first manually un-install both set of drivers, not letting Vista try to install them at the inevitable reboots. Now manually download the two sets of drivers. Next install the ATI driver, then the Nvidia one, rebooting as necessary, but preventing Vista installing drivers. With the drivers installed manually you should find both cards are functioning, and recognised by S@H/BOINC. You may need to do a bit of tuning on the S@H configuration files to get things working properly. How long to wait for a download, that entirely depends on the servers at S@H, anything from "I blinked" to a couple of days. you will normally find the run time guesstimates to be well out on your new GPU for the first couple of dozen, don't worry, they will sort its life out eventually...

You can't mix GPU from different vendors on Vista (at least with WDDM drivers, you may get it to work using XPDM drivers), Mixing vendors is no problem in Windows 7 or XP. (except you're got to install ATI/AMD drivers last for OpenCL to work properly on ATI/AMD devices) MultiMonitor Support and Windows Vista Multimonitor Support in WDDM Claggy |
