Leaving one GPU Folding 24/7 and the other only when idle?

Is there anyway I can set up the F@H Client to let my second 770 fold whenever my PC is on and the other to only fold when my PC has been idle for x minutes?

I don't think you can do that. Still, you can manually pause and unpause one of the cards, if you want.

Couldn't he just have two clients running? One set to fold on gpu 1 all the time and the other gpu 2 at idle?

Ya, I am not sure how you would get a second, complete instance, of FAH running. Esp the way they interact with hardware, might screw each other up.

 

Unfortunately the only way to have one run and one pause, is to manually pause and resume the slot. This is what I do.

There should have been a flag for this, to manually set the usage settings on each gpu. 

I can't seem to find one though.. Might be slightly prone to abuse in some really far 

fetched way, overriding the gui settings. But i can't see that being a big problem.
