Is anybody else seeing this ? I've not long set up a new system. i7 920 processor,two GTX 260's, Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard and Vista 64 SP2. Nvidia controller shows SLI active, as does GPU-Z. Boinc is running two GPUGRID tasks, one on each card !
I am running the latest beta driver 190.38 with boinc 6.6.36. I thought it might be this or perhaps because the motherboard can handle SLI (Nvidia) or Crossfire(ATI)generically i.e. without the plug-in SLI module between cards.
Previously SLI had to be disabled to allow boinc to see the devices seperately.

I;ve just read the thread "Cuda 2.3".
With the introduction of 190.38 GPU's are seen as seperate entities with SLI on, Brilliant !!!
