I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
Seems all is going well.

Actually I think I've fixed it.

The 7750 is now being used, although my computer stat page now says I have 2 Spectre GPU's, rather than 1 Spectre and 1 CapeVerde.
But at least it's working.

Thanks for your help, I'm making progress. But if I could impose on you for one more question...

I now have both GPU's showing in system properties, but BOINC is only using the onboard one.

In the event log it says.....
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0 (ignored by config) CapeVerde
OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 1: Spectre

So it seems it's ignoring the 7750 card (CapeVerde).

Could you explain how I tell it to use both?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks.
In that case, I may have a better card I could use. It's not Crossfire compatible with the APU, but it's more powerful than the R7 240 I was going to use.
It's a Radeon 7750.

If I plug that in, will it disable my onboard GPU?
Is there anything I need to do to use both of them?

Thanks for your help.

First post, so sorry if asked before, I just joined today.

I put together a low price PC that I plan to run 24/7 just to run seti.
It's an AMD A6-7400K, and set up went smoothly. It's crunching away now, running 3 work units. (2 CPU and 1 GPU).

I have an R7 240 card that I'm not using. If I put it in, would I be better to leave it as a lone card, or Crossfire it with the APU? I've checked, and the R7 can Crossfire with the APU's R5.

Thanks.
