Crossfire/2 GPU's

Post by unluckycandy »

Hello All,
I was wondering how I can use both of my Rx 470's to fold. Do I use crossfire? Also, how would one fold on one GPU while gaming on the other?

Thanks,

Crossfire is unnecessary, and not used by F@H. You just need to set up two separate GPU work slots in the client, they will download and process WU's independently.

To fold on just one GPU while using the other for gaming, what might be easiest is to set up one of the slots to only fold on Idle. Then anytime you are using it for gaming, folding will pause and wait until you stop before resuming.
