ATI and NV GPUs in same host
Claggy:
Found an Anonymous host on Seti Beta with mixed Nvidia / ATI cards, he's managed to get Boinc to work in this config, (with recent drivers)
but he errors out all his Stock ATI Hybrid Astropulse work, and optimised ATI Astropulse work too, (same result as i got when running offline runs)

Hi Claggy, Raistmer,
Thats my host I'm running the 10-4 cat drivers and the 257.21 nV drivers
I've unhidden my host on Beta, but all ATI ap tasks did error. Stopped testing that app due to every single task erroring (including stock)
Figured that it was down to having both nV and Cat drivers on the rig

:'( :'( :'( :'(
New computer with windows 7 pro x64, two hours running in MOBO ATI HD 4250,
by a problem of DVI socket (not compatible with the KVM wire I have, some holes
missing from the connection that the wire has), I've to exchange my KVM from DVI
to VGA (I had the previous one with VGA connection), ok, no problem, 4250 only
single precision painful slow with Collatz, no capability for Milkyway.
next step, I'd had in warehouse one brand new NVidia GT9800, inserted in slot and
started up OS:
* CCC saying me that there is no hardware compatible with it ?? (where is the HD 4250)
* downloaded last bundle for NVidia GT9800 for windows 7 x64
* setup and running NVidia GPU and un-installed ATI drivers and software
* No problem crunching with NVidia (Seti and Collatz only)
* checked in BIOS and activated the ATI GPU in the MOBO.
* started and checked in the hardware configuration that HD4250 is visible, Ok.
* installed last software bundle for ATI HD4250 for windows 7 x64
* reboot, :'( nothing works.
* uninstalled all ATI bundle and with driver sweeper too
* deactivated MOBO GPU (ATI HD4250) in BIOS
* reinstalled NVidia driver
* :'(, BOINC doesn't start, reinstalled BOINC, it doesn't start.
* uninstalled NVidia driver and in the same moment BOINC start crunching.
* no way of running BOINC with NVidia GPU (no restore point as computer brand new and no registry of setups)
* removed NVidia card and drivers and with driver sweeper too.
* activated again MOBO GPU in BIOS.
* installed again ATI GPU software & driver.
* BOINC started normally and crunching with single precision only (Collatz and I hope that Seti@home_Beta)
what happens for not being able to setup again the NVidia GPU card that was working first??
I'll leave then all for the next weekend as I'm going for leaves in this week with family to Ibiza,
I'll need some fresh air to know what happens with it.
P.D. - BTW:
Nvidia 257.21 windows 7 x64
ATI 10.6 windows 7 x64
Claggy:
The last Catalyst driver that i have been able to run (with 9800GTX+ fitted) is Cat 10.2,
anything newer and i have to physically remove the 9800GTX+ to get Brook+ or OpenCL apps to run correctly,
(that is all Brook+ or OpenCL offline runs fail) Boinc client also crashes on start, even GPU-Z crashes,
i think i could get GPU-Z to work by uninstalling the SDK2.1, (but that removed the OpenCL support for my 9800GTX+ too)
the problem with running Cat 10.2 is it limits me to just running the Brook+ Hybrid builds,
as Cat 10.4 & SDK2.1 is required for the OpenCL builds.

the same happens to me too, BOINC try to start but can not as per some error is stderr....
GPU-Z started but some seconds after running crashes.
??????
after holydays, I'll try in the other of my desktops exchanging the HD3870 to the new
one and doing a fresh clean install of windows 7 pro x64 in the old one with the Nvidia
GPU since the beggining.
