It seems I am running tasks on them also!



EXCEPT THAT ONE OF THE TASKS FINISH IN 2-3 MINUTES, THE OTHER IN 2-3 HOURS!!!

Nothing from your previous thread working this time around?

This is a new computer I put together for one of my kids. I have seen this problem only on the RX series GPUs. I assume a reboot will fix the problem eventually. I thought an upgrade of all systems to 7.14 would help but it seems the 3 finger windows salute is required

[edit] I do have the amd "beta" driver, (v)19 or something like that. If a reboot fails to fix problem then will do a cleanup and put in the blessed version.

cannot get rid of the extra GPU. I ran that revo uninstaller that took out all amd drivers including cleaning the registry. Installed the recommended 19.1.1 Vega driver.

Still show two RX Vega boards.

Not only does that phantom GPU run slow, the display is blank as if it is in sleep mode. Something is seriously wrong.

I let it crunch setiathome for an hour but only the CPU tasks. I then allowed the GPU ones to run and got tasks on "both" gpu. After a while system became unresponsive with a blank screen but it was still crunching according to BoincTasks. This system is for my son who is not into boinc and I was just burning it in so boinc is coming out.
