You have that situation with a RX 460 model and a RX 580 model. BOINC will only see and use the RX 580 model without telling BOINC to <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> in cc_config.xml.

Make sure that you "Save As" and that "All File Types" or "." is in the Save Parameters. IF NOT done, your cc_config.xml will end up as "cc_config.xml.txt" Also, (to make sure that it's NOT saving as .txt), make sure that Folder/File Options are set to "Show Hidden" and "Show Known File Types and Extensions"... I'm NOT sure about Windows or Linux Systems; BUT, on Mac - after Saving the cc_config.xml in the proper location, BOINC needs to be Reinstalled to Reset BOINC Permissions. Again, NOT sure if this needs to be done on Windows or Linux. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 1987520 ·

Last modified: 28 Mar 2019, 5:45:29 UTC ok it says the config file not found. its in the correct folder. and still says. here is a copy Windows is tricky with Notepad and .xml files. It is very common to end up with a cc_config.xml.txt file. That is why they recommended you set your "display file extensions" in file explorer. Then if you rename the file to cc_config.xml and then run the "read config files" it should work. You may have to restart Boinc Manager. A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association).

Last modified: 28 Mar 2019, 6:11:12 UTC i did what was list on this post. If that were the case, it would be working. As others have said- make sure it is in the correct folder. C:\ProgramData\BOINC (unless you installed it in a different location). Make sure the name is correct cc_config.xml Make sure the contents are in the correct format ie <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> Make sure that the file is text only- ie only use Notepad (or similar) to edit it. [b]Do not{/b] use Word or Word Pad (or similar). If it has the right name, and is in the right folder, and it doesn't have any non-text hidden characters in it, and it has the same format as Wiggo posted, it will work.
