So, I finally received my 2nd Titan X P today...tested it out...and did my AIO cooler mod on it. Both of my Titan Pascals are happily folding away.
My original plan for this was just to swap out my 980 Ti that was in this rig, dedicate the second new card to folding, and go on as usual with my first Titan X P as my "main" card for the rig.
I have run into a slight problem:
- With the Titan X P / 980 Ti setup, I (of course) could not run in SLI.
- The NVIDIA control panel would let me do "Span Displays With Surround" for my multi monitor setup
- I plugged my 4th monitor (dashboard monitor) into the 980 Ti
- When I wanted to game, I would pause the folding@home on the Titan, keep the folding running on the 980 Ti and game on
- When I replace the 980 Ti with the new Titan X P, I first did not install an SLI bridge
- I was not given the option in the NVIDIA control panel to "Span Displays with Surround" (it was greyed out)
- I could activate and run all monitors, but not surround gaming
- When I install my old SLI bridge (not the new "high bandwidth" one as I wasn't planning on SLI), I get the option to "Span Displays With Surround"
- However, this option is ONLY an SLI setup
- If I pause folding@home on the "main" card and try to game, I get horrible frame rates as the second SLI card is currently pegged with folding@home
- My only option for this setup is to pause both cards and game in surround with SLI
- I'm not really interested in SLI as one Titan X P handles my gaming very well
Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this?
My backup plan is to swap the 1080 FTW from my small server with the new Titan X P. The main rig would have 2 different cards, and I will be able to surround game like I did before.
However, having 2 Titans in the same rig looks REALLY cool.
Thoughts and input please.
Thanks!
