Questions about multi-gpu setup

[nitrobass24]

I have a single GTX 295

Do I need to disable SLI? Its my understanding that the dual cards use onboard SLI.
Will it scale across both GPU's or do I need to setup multiple gpu console clients?

With the Systray version can I still set this up to run as a service?

TIA

SLI should be turned off and you will need to setup more than one GPU client. A separate instance of the GPU client is needed for each GPU core.

You should read this excellent guide. It will help you configure the clients, step by step!

Ive read it and followed it but it says nothing about running Systray as a service

I don't think you can run the systray as a service. You can set it to start when you log in, or you can install the console version as a service (with difficulty on Vista I hear).

Yea im having some issues with drivers cause this is on a server 2003 box

What kind of issues?

 

[nitrobass24]

Loads windows and immediately bluescreens

 

[Zero82z]

Which drivers are you using? Have you tried different versions?

 

[nitrobass24]

Well im running Server 2003

I have tried a couple:
CUDA driver: NVIDIA Driver for Microsoft Windows XP with CUDA Support (180.60). - Wont install says it cannot find compatible hardware.
GeForce Release 181 WHQL Version: 181.20 currently installed....bluescreens

 

[Zero82z]

Try a 17x series driver; maybe that'll work. They seem to provide better F@H performance as well.

 

[nitrobass24]

Yea its not even listed for my card? the 295 is only like a week old.

 

[Zero82z]

Ah, I didn't realise that. Is 181.20 the latest driver version available? If so, try and find a newer beta driver revision and see if that will work.

Also I dont have nvidia control panel after I install this.....and I cannot find a way to disable SLI.
