I had a Windows 8.1 machine running for a while with 3 GPU for BOINC. I just figured it was better than them gathering dust. I decided to make a new machine (for my wife) and keep the old one for crunching. I have searched around and just cannot get this third (small AMD/ATI card to work). It is more of an annoyance than anything else at this point but it should be doing something. lshw shows that all three are recognized, but cc_config only brings the NVIDIA online *************** sudo lshw -c video | grep configuration configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 *************** sudo lshw -c video *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 resources: irq:18 memory:fb000000-fbffffff memory:d0000000-d7ffffff memory:de000000-dfffffff ioport:ef00(size=128) memory:d8000000-d807ffff *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 resources: irq:19 memory:f6000000-f7ffffff memory:c0000000-c7ffffff memory:cc000000-cfffffff ioport:bf00(size=128) memory:c8000000-c807ffff *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

This is the cc_config ****************** <cc_config> <log_flags> <task>1</task> <file_xfer>1</file_xfer> <sched_ops>1</sched_ops> </log_flags> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> |

I was just looking at the temperatures for my machine with the GPU snoozed: Nvidia GPU0 30°C Nvidia GPU1 27°C ATI Radeon 48°C AMD CPU 52°C There is no reason that the Radeon is running that hot that I can think of. Is it somehow crunching with the CPU? Linux is a mystery to me! |

Is the AMD GPU in the same machine as the two Nvidia's? Did you install drivers with OpenCL capability for the AMD GPU? If so, which ones, where from? It's a physical card, not one built into the CPU? |

Is the AMD GPU in the same machine as the two Nvidia's? Yes, there are three separate, physical GPU. Two Nvidia and one AMD/ATI. There are no on-board motherboard graphics. I didn't load the drivers, Mint did. The AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6450 is running: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version 1:7.20-0ubuntu10 If I need to install other drivers, can somebody please hold my hand and walk me through it? I tried downloading from the AMD website, but it was a ".run" file that opened in gedit. Some nice terminal commands would be nice... |

chmod ugo+x filename.run ./filename.run Run as root. Use su or sudo. To overcome Heisenbergs: "You can't always get what you want / but if you try sometimes you just might find / you get what you need." -- Rolling Stones |
