How to fold with 2 9800GX2's

Alright, I am buying two 9800GX2's and I have no idea how to set up [email protected] on them, is it just like I was setting up [email protected] on 4 GPU's or do I have to do something different?

My mind is spinning from all the GPU's I am buying, at least they are going to a good cause!

It should be like setting up 4 GPUs. Just be sure that you have 2 dummy plugs in each card, one for each GPU.
If it will be just a folding rig, I suggest going xp, then you wont need dummy plugs. Just be sure to disable SLI and they will look like 4 regular GPUs.

EDIT: They are very difficult to set up. You would probably be better off just selling them to me instead

I would use XP but they are going into my main rig and it already has vista on it, although with my 2 9600GSO's I haven't had to use the Dummy plugs as the 18x.xx drivers allow me to extend the desktop without a plug

Jeeze, a week ago I had one 9600GSO and now I have

2 9600GSO's
1 8800GS
2 9800GX2's
An E4300 and a Q6600!

Knitelife has enough GX2s!! I need these cards! Sell them to meeee!!!


I also recommend using XP. It is very easy to use multiple GPUs. In the Target: line you have to add this flag to each GPU client to make it use each GPU "-forcegpu nvidia_g80" It will work, even though it is a G92 core. Everything else is just like you are setting up multiple GPU clients. Be sure to keep track of each GPU with its own core assignment number.

It won't support quad sli but yes XP will recognize all 8 GPU's
