7950gx2 with only 1 gpu working!

hahanoclue · 27th Apr 2007, 01:20 PM

my 7950gx2 doesnt run in 2 gpu mode sometimes, and appears to be completely random. I test this by running Aquamark randomly and sometimes it would show that both gpus are working but other times it is not. Again this is random, I have no idea how to pernamently make it run the way it's suppose to.

"Nvidia control panel set to multi-gpu mode oredi."

i had to restart my pc in order to get it back to run in dual.. i'm using 1 x 7950gx2 (leadtek winfast).. in months, i've been trying to solve this gc.. it doesn't compatible with a lot of mobo, then it runs hot (no oc), it's underperform in games (need for speed carbon/underground2, gtr2, cs source).. so i tried to use rivatuner monitor to log both cores temp n the result shows that only 1 gpu is loaded.. i tried a few drivers, a few 91.x, 93.71 n now using 93.81.. i can't find patch file for the games to run with this gc.. it'll run perfectly alright with 3dmark05 (i dun have 06) when the pc is fresh from restart but i can't run 3dmark twice without needing to restart to get the 2nd gpu running.. so 1 run of 3dmark then need restart before i can run 3dmark again (coz otherwise 2nd gpu won't load).. i was 7900gtx user, n to be true, 7900gtx is far more easier to deal with.. although, 7950gx2 is a lot faster gc (if i can get both gpu running but i never had them running in all my games).. can someone help us out with these mystery..? also how about fan speed of this gc..? still any clue..? anyway v ca use nbitor (i never use 1 but i'll try if it'll work for the fans) to alter the fans speed..?

my spec:

e6600
aw9d-max
kingston hyper-x 6400
