Folding on 2 GPUs

So I'm running 2 r9 290's and I was letting my system fold while I'm at work. I understand that crossfire isn't supported by FaH so I unchecked the crossfire enabled box in CCC and then added the 2nd GPU to the list using the FaH advanced contols. However when I start folding it says my 1st card will finish a work unit in 3 hours approx. but the 2nd card says it will take 8.8 days.

 

When I turn on folding the 1st card jumps right to 100% use and the 2nd card dosen't do anything, GPUZ and MSI afterburner both say the card is still at 0%. I installed drivers on each card individually but I don't know what else to do. Also I'm getting 200,000PPD from my single card, does that seem correct for a single r9 290?

 

Thanks for any help.

No problems folding on my 2 7770s in crossfire, I don't know why it acts this way for you.

Just tag @ChatDaw so I can answer as fast as possible.

Also make sure that you have available CPU cores to work on the 2nd card.

 

But just as a note, the FAH software just sucks for multi GPU configs. Especially the slot naming....

You can have CrossFire/SLI enabled. It really makes no difference to FAH at all. But will for your gaming. :)

 

Best bet, re-enabled crossfire, reboot. Uninstall app, reboot. Re-install app and let it detect and setup both cards automatically. If also folding on the CPU, leave at least 2 cores free.
