Is this possible? I am running Ubuntu and Radeon cards with the anonymous platform. I cant find much in the docs for the xml config files. Thank you. ID: 1968926 ·

The only thing that differentiates the cards is the device number since they are both AMD/ATI opencl cards. ID: 1968937 ·

If the slow card doesn't slow down too much your total production might go up like you want. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 1969116 ·

Last modified: 9 Dec 2018, 2:20:50 UTC on windows-7 I am running more than 1 ins trace of BOINC. Each of my 3 (hidden) gpu cards are running different setups ... and yes, you can run 3 on one card, 2 on another and 1 on the third ... If I can do it on windows I'm sure it can be done on a real O.S. (sorry things are hidden but ...) Just use a little imagination and more than one BOINC and SETI can be (more) fun.
