Hi

I have 2 video cards installed in my PC running Linux Mint 21.2

First card is a RTX3060Ti and the 2nd card is a RTX3060, so similar but a little bit different

BOINC recognises the first video card, but not the 2nd. How can I get two video cards crunching?

I added 
<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

in /var/lib/boinc/cc_config.xml

But still no go. Can anyone offer any help?

I got it going! I swapped over the M.2 SSD to the main M.2 slot, this freeing up a lane for the 2nd video card.

Both cards are crunching now so all good.
