TBH I wouldn't mix cards like that it will kill the PPD of your better card. So unless you are using it as a physX card I say sell it and get another 280.

I can't get multi GPU folding to start! >:(
So I just got my GTX280 and installed it. Its folding just fine.

But I also got my old 8800GTS that I want to keep folding with so I followed multiple guides to get this baby folding but no avail. Once it starts is says "Attempting to get work packets" (or something along those lines) the it says "Connections closed" next is "Folding (0/0)" and then "Attempting to send work packets" and the whole thing starts over again.
Yes I have 2 monitors and yes I have 1 in each GPU.

If you want to pay for it be my guest! I'm flat broke.
And yes I'm using it for a physx card and yes I want to fold on it... it still does a nice 4~5k PPD.

It's been posted several times, you can't run cards of different processing cores...
It WILL drop (about 1/2) your PPD, it IS NOT worth it...
Just fold on the 280 and be happy...

I don't have the site bookmarked here at work but you can do a search...
Unless there has been a drastic change with new drivers you can't mix processing cores...
Good luck and Fold on...

Hey DIRTYDUCK. I assume you are trying to get her the link for nafljhy's dual GPU setup, correct? My copy works wonders

Here it is on OCN - http://www.overclock.net/overclock-n...2-without.html
Zippit, just get the dual GPU file and follow the directions in the thread. It doesn't get any easier than that

Tried that guide already.
And like I said that link doesn't work... well it does but the download doesnt because the free servers are at full capacity.
EDIT:!Finaly! I got the download to work!

Look at this thread. I know that they would not be in SLI as you cannot fold with SLI enabled.

Well I can't even get it to work and my 8800GTS will be folding 24/7 and my GTX280 will not since I'm gaming or photoshoping with it. So even in theory my GTX280 won't bottleneck or slow it down.
And with the downloaded package it also doesn't work. >

I got this working with the 180.48 drivers. I have since moved up to the 182.06 drivers.
Zippit, there is no way this doesn't work for at least 1 card. Just extract the folder and double-click the .exe file.
I know you have 2 monitors, but are they both enabled in Windows AND the Nvidia Control Panel?

Only the GTX280 worked... the 8800GTS did nothing.
And yes I have both screens. My main (32") is on the GTX280 and my 2nd(19") is on the 8800GTS, and yes my desktop is extended.
