Hi Chris, Thanks for your mail, there's a lot of info in it. I am still a little confused by some of your remarks.
You say that SLI has to be disabled. I understand the reason behind it but at least this is not necessary for running the examples with 4 windows. It doesn't matter if SLI is enabled or disabled. With SLI enabled I can see the visual indicators nicely in each window. For instance when running eqPly with 4 windows. Maybe you mean something else? You say that I will not be able to assign a specific render job to a specific GPU. Right? My client does not fuck up anymore, it was 'just' a matter of not-found dll. Please realize that I am still a newbie when it comes to equalizer functionality, I am only just building it. Would I be able to address a specific card when the card are different types? I am still confused how one could use the extra power of an extra gfx card... thanks Raymond On 3/10/2010 3:55 PM, Christian Kehl wrote: > I know.
