So about a week ago I was checking in on my folding stats and I had an idea. If I can use two cards to fold and tell the client which cards it should use... Then I can also tell the Nvidia driver which card to use and which to ignore. I made a video showing exactly how to do this. It works perfectly. I think that the only two requirements that must be met would definitely be a quad core cpu or better. As most anyone that folds with an Nvidia card knows, team green will eat up one whole cpu core per gpu used. The other concern is definitely heat (and power). Short answer yes it works. Under the Geforce driver options for whatever game you are going to play you select one of the cards you would like to use. In my case I selected the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming for Witcher 3. Now in the Folding@home Client I set up the Gigabyte GTX 970 as the primary card. No cpu folding. So while the 970 starts to fold at 100% the GTX1080 hits 98-99% usage when Witcher 3 loads. The 1080 did in fact downclock to 1800Mhz down from 2000Mhz because it hit almost 80c Witcher 3 ran really well in the 80fps range although I do think that in a large city or battle that number would fall. Anyways I thought it would be a fun video and uploaded It to my youtube channel. I hope its okay that I post it. I'm not trying to advertise my channel. I feel it is an important bit of info for anyone that is interested in Folding@home and asks the question "Can I game and Fold at the same time" Answer -YES! If the video attached is not allowed I won't be upset if it is removed.

A friend of mine picked the wrong time to build his PC so I began to document the experience. The sequel will be out sometime next week once we get the rig built. Like and subscribe and all that. More content to come.

I'd like to have this card for my little sister's rig so she can play The Isle. And so I can find aliens with her current GPU.

Rig name: Shambler Cpu : i7 3770K @ 4.5Ghz Gpu: Gigabyte 970 oc @ 1.4 Ghz Ram: Corsair xms 1600 8GBs

I would like to win one of these drives because my little sister's gaming rig contains a repurposed E-machine drive. It's not that she wants it, it's that I will do anything to give her the best. She got my r9 290. And my i5 3570k. and my 750watt psu.
