pascal with a maxwell

[caddi daddi]

I have a 1060 and a 980 I want to run in the same rig at the same time.
anyone have a link to a guide on driver installs for doing this?

 

[jaymz9350]

They would use the same driver, it should automatically detect both, should being the key word

 

[JrClocker]

I am running a 1080 and 980 in the same rig...latest drivers...no issues.

You have to use MSI Afterburner if you want to overclock both at the same time.

 

[caddi daddi]

are the drivers producing properly, I assume you and I are doing the same thing with them.

 

[JrClocker]

 

[caddi daddi]

hmmmmmm, not looking to good here, the later driver gimps the 980 but, that's right off the bat so I'll watch it.

 

[JrClocker]

I'm getting about 450 K PPD on my 980 with those drivers

I have a kepler (780) working w/my maxwell 2 (980Ti) w/no problems. Nvidia's driver install picked up both cards and installed the appropriate drivers.

RU hoping to use your high-end cards for a DX12 multiadapter setup? Or physx?

If you do, could you run some physx benchmarks? I'd be interested to see what kind of diff a high-end physx GPU would make.

He's using it to fold.

 

[caddi daddi]

yes folding.
the latest driver seems to have cost me a good chunk out of the 980, from 400,000 - 450,000 ppd to 350,000 - 400,000.
another oddity is that with the Maxwell/pascal combo the rig bsods to machine error check message, this tends to be a low vcore/clock issue so I reduced my overclock on the cpu from 52,52,48,48 to 47,47,47,47 and added 0.05 vcore to bring it up to 1.27 from 1.22 and that has done no good.
running a single card of either there is no issue, with 2 maxwells there is no issue, I'm starting to suspect some corruption in windows.

 

[JrClocker]

Does your power supply have enough OOMF to drive the 980 and 1060?

Are you overclocking the cards right now, or are they still at stock?

 

[EarthDog]

What motherboard do you have? Does it have a supplemental power lead (either pcie, molex, or sata) for use when in sli/cfx?

Please list your system specs so we all know...

 

[caddi daddi]

asrock z-97 extreme 9
4790k
evga 850g2 850watt
massive water cooling, mo-ra, 4x180

 

[EarthDog]

So the answer is "Yes" is does have a supplemental power lead (molex) at the bottom of the board...

You may want to try plugging that in and see if it helps with your stability issues. I don't think its mandatory to use it (read your manual to see...maybe its 3 cards+), but its worth a try.

 

[caddi daddi]

I'll try it tonight when I get home, I think it does and is plugged in, I run 2 980ti's in it most of the time.

yes the pci power connector is plugged into the psu.

poking around in there I found one end of one stick of ram unlocked, shoved it home and got it locked in place, great fun working on a rig folding as hard as it can!!!!!!!
even at 120 watts, pulling the case sides off the haf-x raised the gpu temp 2c, so the side fans do help even with a card this low on the scale.

 

[caddi daddi]

after a couple of days I can say it's not the 1060 card, Ill give it another day or two and then throw the 980 into slot #4 and try both of the together again.

Interested to hear the results.

Just bought a 1070, had a 960, have Fallout4 on my Steamsummersale OMFG home many games did I get list

Edit:Should be a good test... grumble... ****, OK, this weekend.

I should give it a go with my setup and my one physx enabled game, but I have bioshock and gta5 going lol!
