amd and nvidia working togheter??

[Casparj]

so i have my old amd 290x just sitting there doing nothing 

can i show that into my new computer and start folding with it along side my 1060 ?

Absolutely, any graphics cards in a system will fold independently so once you have drivers for both you're good to go. No need for communication between the cards. Hopefully your power supply is sufficient.

No yo don't have to have monitor pluged in to that secend card

and if i member right your system can be run totally headless.

Headless meaning no need for a monitor.

[Casparj]

do i need to be worried about my pc calling my 1060 GPU 2 and the r9 GPU 1 

it wont bottle the gaming performence when i want to game will it ?

i dont think my 290x is working like it should it finally got a WU and acording to FAH it starting doing work but CAM didn report it having any load and then it just started sending the WU

Take a look in task manager but you'll have to switch the view to "Compute"

switch to compute ?

I'm at work so I don't have a system with other than an iGPU installed but if you go into Task Manager then switch the Graph from whatever it defaults to to display "Compute" it should show you the Compute utilization being at 90-95% like in this thread:

Give it some time. The servers at Folding at Home are really overloaded these days so it can take a while to get a new Work Unit (WU) after one is completed.

the 1060 and the 1600x has no problems getting work 

so im thinking the 290x is broken

 

[Casparj]

just tested by outputting from the 290x and it runs a game like it should so i guess ill just wait

[Casparj]

ok im very sorry for this spam

but im getting more and more sure of that this amd card is not working like it should

the only work it gets is one that takes 24 hours it then starts working on it for a few minutes and then just starts sending it

I have the exact same problem with my strix rx580. It starts and shows me it will take around 24h for one wu. Task-manager, gpu-z and hwmonitor shows me a gpu usage between 0 and 3% while folding. It´s a pity, ´cause I have 6 of those cards here. Don´t need them, so I wanted to get a second folding pc ready.
I installed the latest drivers. What do I miss?

What do the logs in the client say?

 

I added my old RX480 to my system yesterday and had loads of errors because I hadnt restarted my PC since installing the AMD graphics drivers. After reboot the card folds fine.
