Hello:
I just changed my MB to the GA-EP45-UD3P and installed (2)260's (XFX & BFG)... my problem is that I can access one card to OC it but can't figure out how to access the second one... using EVGA Precision tool which works for me on single non-EVGA cards...the are both running in BOINC manager as 4+2 and returning work... system Quad w/ XP 32bit... I'm sure it's a simple answer but not to me at this point- also working on OC'ing the Q6600 at the same time...
Thanks :)

I've never tried it, but I've read of some people using Gainward's ExperTool, available here.

>it just allows control of one card w/o access to the second like the EVGA utility... there must be a setting in the control panel but I still can't find it... I have fiddled with 'control panel> display' settings but it just shifts the desktop between cards and requires physically switching the monitor cable between cards and makes my head hurt even more...
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks

GPU-Z shows both cards and the info is correct it's just the tweaking tools don't show #2
