I have an Abit ip35 pro, which doesn't support SLI, however has two PCIE card slots. If I have two graphics cards in, one as slave, will the slave be used by GPUgrid?

~thanks, Istvan

AFAIK, it should work for BOINC. However, you will not be able to join the GPU power together into SLi for gaming. I don't know of anybody that has done this, however.

I know I can't use it for gaming, which is why I don't have it in my computer now. However if it helps GPUgrid I am willing to plug it in.

If the card is supported by GPUGRID it should work.
Just try it, and if it doesn't work let us know a little bit about your graphics cards, BOINC version, OS, and someone will sure be able to help you... ;-)
