Dear JStateson

thank you for your fast reply! Just double-checked it, Crossfire is still disabled.

What's interesting though, yesterday it only calculated with one GPU, today, even i changed absolulty nothing, it is calculating with both GPUs once again.. Let's see how long it is working this time. Will keep you posted!

Dear BOINC community,


Could you please help me with the following issue? Tried to get 2 AMD RX570 GPUs simultaneously calculating for Einstein@home. After restarting the computer several times, and loading web calculation settings it actually worked pretty fine. For a while though.. Latestly the next day it is only calculating with GPU 0, ignoring GPU 1 totally. Right now also reloading the web settings, restarting the computer or resetting the project doesn't help anymore. Interestingly there is no error recorded in the message log..
Would be awesome if anyone got an idea, on what might be wrong. Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot in advance for your efforts!


My Setup is the following:

- BOINC Version 7.14.2(x64)
- Project: Einstein@home only
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 @ 3GHz
- GPU: 2xRadeon RX 570 series (Note: Crossfire has been turned off; Both GPUs are visible in Task Manager/Device Manager)
- GPU Drivers: Radeon 19.7.5 (installed via Adrenalin 2019), Note: Windows Driver updates have been disabled
- Windows Version: Windows 10 Education 64-bit

cc_config.xml
The cc_config.xml, which can be found at C:\ProgramData\BOINC has been updated with the line <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> in the options section and saved using Editor with ANSI encoding.
