I have 2 295 gtx's and was wondering if quad sli was supported? |

Unless SLI is disabled (regardless of version), the GPUGRID application will execute on only one GPU. As I understand it, this is not a limitation of the GPUGRID app., but a more general restriction in CUDA (at least until NVIDIA addresses it). |

Yes, SLI has to be disabled for several chips to be recognized. It's a limitation of the current CUDA drivers. 3 of your 4 GPUs should work, but the detection and utilization of the 4th one has recently been troublesome for some people. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |

I was worried about this 3 of 4 only thing myself and must say not a spot of bother. Dropped the second card in and doubled my processing. I guess that ones been solved. Edit: You can use the Quad SLI cable (i do) but disable SLI in control panel for crunching. Then you can still enable to play games. thats what ive done. |

Thanks for responses fellas. Disable sli and use 3 cores. Got it thanks. |

Well, it *should* use all 4 GPUs and currently there's no way to intentionally limit this number to 3 or 2. The comment about 3 of 4 was just to tell you there might be problems, but they don't affect everyone. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |
