It's also worth noting that if the use_all_gpus XML flag were working right, it should ignore the Quadro, since I've set that card to be dedicated to graphics tasks, and the Tesla GPUs to be dedicated to compute needs.

I am using BOINC 7.8.3 (x64 version), and am trying to use a Nvidia Tesla card for compute purposes in my computer to its fullest potential. Right now, I have three GPUs on two cards: one Quadro (purely for graphics) and one Tesla (purely for compute) with two GPUs on board. The computer recognizes GPU1 as Tesla's first GPU, GPU2 as Tesla's second GPU, and GPU3 is the Quadro GPU (unless I have that all screwed up, lmk). Right now, BOINC is only using one of the Tesla cores, GPU1, and is ignoring GPU2, even though both can be used. I've already tried adjusting the cc_config.xml file, and right now, it reads

<cc_config>
   <use_all_gpus>1<use_all_gpus>
   <ignore_nvidia_dev>3<ignore_nvidia_dev>
</cc_config>

I'm trying to use it for GPUGRID or Einstein@Home, either one would be splendid to get working.
The BOINC log is below:

I am aware that something's not right about the XML file, I just don't know what. If someone could give me a valid cc_config.xml code snippit to use, that would be great.
The log's not showing it, but I have an Intel Core i7-6850K, Nvidia Quadro K4000, and Nvidia Tesla K10. BOINC is using one of the Tesla GPUs properly, but is not utilizing the other one at all. I want BOINC to use both of the GPUs on the Tesla, and not do any computation on the Quadro card. I am using Quadro driver version 391.24, and have Nvidia Maximus enabled. I am using Windows 10 x64, version 1709, build 16299.492.
I know that all of this is kind of pandering, let me know if you need more info. Thanks in advance!
