Ok crazy idea...

SubPar · Apr 7, 2014

Maybe not so crazy but is it possible to install the asus eah 5770 dcuII in my Amd rig along with the asus gtx 650ti boost as long as the the 5770 is only used for folding?
I did some googlin and have read it both ways :shrug:

hoping you guys know something

It's no issue.

I had a 550ti and a 6850 in the same rig. Just install the AMd card first, install drivers then shove the Nvidia in and install it's own drivers.

All should be kosher.

awesome im going to do that right now lol, if i pause my folds will it pick them back up after i install the other card or should i let them finish and then do it?

Pause 'em, and they will pick up after you reboot

Care to share? Only my 6850 shows up, yet my 270x is in the first pci slot. :shrug:

Ok what i did was go into the configure menu>slots>add, this is where i checked the box beside the gpu indices, hit add and then it showed up and proceeded to fold

Now i just gotta figure out how to monitor the 5770 lol

Edit: GPU-z works nicely

Thanks!

Weird. F@H only sees my 6850. Maybe it's becasue I cut open a pcie 1x slot and shoved the 6850 in it? :shrug:

As for monitoring, why not use MSI Afterburner?

afterburner is nice, but ive been using asus gpu tweak since i got the 650, and for some reason wouldnt let me monitor both, maybe i should try afterburner so i can monkey with the fan profiles etc

Afterburner can monitor both GPU's yes. Just click "Settings" at the bottom of the afterburner GUI

Ok crazy idea...
