I would like to not use windows for my AM3 and HD6990 cards, I can not get the GPU drivers installed in Ubuntu properly. is there a step by step guide, or a simple way to start using a linux os? Thank you for your assistance. Greg

It may be necessary to follow a few steps. 1. Connect at least one monitor to each graphics card. 2. Place cc_config.xml into the correct folder. 3. Restart BOINC Thank you for the help from this Message board. I was able to solve the problem with the following points. Not all operating systems let you change a file from .txt to .xml so copy any .xml file from the /ProgramData/BOINC folder onto the desk top, change the name of the file on the desktop to cc_config.xml use notepad to change the contents of cc_config.xml that is on the desktop to: <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> <skip_cpu_benchmarks>1</skip_cpu_benchmarks> </options> </cc_config> Save the file into the correct folder (/ProgramData/BOINC) delete the file that is on the desktop.

When I have them on one machine the work units are done at the same speed as having only the HD7950 in on its own. I have removed all the AMD drivers and re installed them but the result is the same. with or without crossfire. Is there a trick to using different GPU cards on one machine? Thanks for your reply.
