2nd video card
Hi Guys,
My EVGA 960 i cranking away, in it's PCIEX_16 slot closest to the CPU
I just ordered the GTX 1060 SC, I presume this should go in the available other PCIEX_16 slot?
The mb has two PCIe slots not used

Do NOT is the bridge, & SLI is NOT correct for two cards & FAH?

Any special procedures to install the driver for the 1060, while the 960 is present? Would i need to disable (dev. mgr) 960's driver then install 1060's driver, the enable 960. I'm hoping it will just see the 2nd card & allow install.

Re: 2nd video card
normally the driver for 1060 should also support the 960 ... the generations are close enough.

Re: 2nd video card
You can't use sli on two different cards even if you wanted to. If you had two of the same card you could set it up either way, makes no difference to FaH.Ricorocks wrote:

Re: 2nd video card
I would have thought each card, would need its own driver.
Wow! They can share the one driver install & fold at same time. Cool!

Re: 2nd video card
For a long time, the new drivers were issued that maintained backwards compatibility for all (or "a lot") of previous generations of GPUs. At some point, apparently testing and maintaining such backward compatibility became untenable so they forked the development. The functionality of old GPUs was frozen and that driver version was named "legacy" driver while new GPUs continued to be supported with new drivers. (That's what Christian Virtual means the generations are close enough.)Ricorocks wrote:I would have thought each card, would need its own driver.

I had an instance where I tried to put a legacy GPU in the same system as a new GPU. I called tech support and they tried to find a version that would work with both. That may or may not be possible, but you probably won't run into that situation.

Hi Bruce,
And thanks to all for your help!!!!! At NVIDIA's web site, they show a compatibility list, turns out, Christian is correct, as the latest driver for 1060 works with 960, so I should be in good shape.
Thanks Guys
Rick

Re: 2nd video card
I have my new GTX 1070 and old GTX 960 in the same Ubuntu 14.04 LTS box and they're happily Folding with the 367.35 (circa July 2016) NVIDIA drivers. I see there is a newer version (367.44) available, but I haven't upgraded as of yet.
You should be quite happy with the GTX 1060. I'm looking at replacing my GTX 750 Ti with the 3 GB version.

Re: 2nd video card
Just make sure that your PCIe x16 slots are actually running at x16, if they can't, due to chipset limitation, put the 1060 in the faster slot.

Re: 2nd video card
Personally I'd put it in the cooler slot (normally the lower). The difference in PPD from thermal limitations will likely be far greater than PCIe bandwidth.Nathan_P wrote:Just make sure that your PCIe x16 slots are actually running at x16, if they can't, due to chipset limitation, put the 1060 in the faster slot.

Re: 2nd video card
Hmmm, I'm sure it's just because it's a newer card, but the new EGA GTX 1060 Superclocked 3GB card is ID'd as "GP106 [xxx]"
I checked the GPUs.txt file and that's the entry for the PCI ID:Output from the "FAHClient --lspci" is So, the GPU is known to Stanford, but it's strictly a cosmetic change to make the "[xxx]" into "GeForce GTX 1060".
It's only been a day, but the PPD readings from FAH Control are between 280K-330K PPD. This is on my Mac Pro 1.1 (circa 2007) which is in a PCIe v1 x16 slot running in x8 mode. My GTX 970 in the x16 slot is generating slightly less PPD.
I checked the GPUs.txt file and that's the entry for the PCI ID:

Thanks for the link and explanation. As long as the card is accepted by the Assignment servers, all is well.7im wrote:No new models of GPUs can be added to the GPUs.txt list until Pande Group fixes the update script problem that I emailed them about 2 days ago. GTX 1060 is enabled, but won't say GTX 1060 until this is fixed. It will only say GP106 [xxx] until fixed.
