Ah...
In fact I think I've been confuse with the :

# Approximate elapsed time for entire WU: 13691.716 s
08:35:49 (12888): called boinc_finish

08:35:49 is not the runtime...

I see now why in term of point I don't see much difference.

So all goods in fact, I might loose 5% from somewhere, but no harm.

No difference when swapping the cards.

And as I said an update of the driver didn't change anything.
Could it came from Xorg settings or so?

Actually...it has always been an issue... When I had 2 GTS250 into another computer, the second one was slower....funny, after 2 years, still the same issue ....

I could try an update GNU/Linux version (Like Sabayon/Fedora/Ubunutu) but doesn't seems the good way to me.

Hi Zydor.

- No SLI enabled (And I didn't find any option in the BIOS)
- 25 degrees differences between the 2 cards

and I've updated my Nvidia drivers to 295 version.

No difference.

I will try to swap the card, but I guess it will be the same thing....the second one will be slower....

Any other idea?

Hi there,

I've added a second GTX570 to my machine but for an unknown reason, this second GPU is very slow compare to the other one.

For example, a I13R7-NATHAN_CB1 will take 8h35 on the first GPU but 12h31 on the [ur=http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=5251012l]second GPU[/url]...

BOINC recognizes well the 2 GPUs and I have a cc_config.xml that includes:
<cc_config>
<options>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>


along with SWAN_SYNC = 0 variable (Working, I do have 2 full cores occupied for the GPUs)

I'm running Debian stable with Nvidia 285.05.09 and BOINC 6.12.34


And I have no idea why the second GPU takes longer than the first one....
(Temps are much lower as well on the second card)

Any idea where to look for?

I am presently running a Ubuntu 11.04 64bit OS on an i7-2600K, with a GTX260-216. Actually just put it in to test following another post.
I had to go to NVidia control panel and set it to run at maximum performance, and free up a CPU thread. I recommend you do both of these things, and I would also suggest you set up a cc_config.xml file to report tasks immediately, and keep a reasonably low cache (0.25 or less).


Thank you. I'll try to free 2 cores them and to check the Nvidia panel.
I'll you know.
