The 7 minutes I said was from Boinc, which seems to race ahead with the % complete. In 15 minutes according to stderr.txt, it will be complete. We'll see if it validates. Or perhaps you can run that same task on a known good card of your own. I'd hate to think it's giving tasks back which validate but are wrong. since it's generating no heat and has 0% usage in MSI Afterburner, it's definitely not doing calculations. And there's no CPU usage for that task either (in Boinc or Windows Task Manager).

I dont have a good card. A standalone test is the best option to test both cards and track down the issue.

Can you make them both run the same task?

yes but not recommended. The GPU use 99% and CPU is nearly unused. Only a test can help.

I don't understand what you mean. I wanted to run the same task on both GPUs at once. If the dodgy one gives a different result, there's something up.

This is the finished task, which the server claims passed, but it can't have done if it didn't do calculations: https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/result.php?resultid=141051715

Let me know how to run this test.

This could be a severe problem if there's "valid" tasks coming back which aren't. If this was happening before this update, on any machines with more than one card, can you track down suspect results and re-run them?

The result was good.

I will create a test later today.

It can't have been if the card was idle. It's claiming it didn't find a factor, but it could have been sat doing nothing and lying.

I also have the same problem with my 2 Radeon RX 7900 GRE, and my Radeon PRO Duo (On another config)

I've figured it out.
They're both running on the first card. If I pause the one alledgedly on the second card, the memory usage on the first card drops.

wrapper test - standalone-windows (AMD only)

1. download zip-file
2. extract somewhere outside BOINC
3. run each wrapper file wrapper_26018_windows_x86_64.exe at the same time, in this case its for device 0 and 1
4. check the GPU usage on each card

If you want to rerun a test you need to recopy worktodo.txt because it will be deleted after a test is done

I opened the file twice together, it works like under BOINC: GPU0 is at 100% and GPU1 is at 0

this was wrong, was changed in the new zipfile from -d 1 to --device 1, the same for --device 0

When I put --device 0 and --device 1 in GPU1 and GPU2 respectively, it doesn't open.

In my opinion, on BOINC, the 2nd GPU works for 2 WU. Your software does not seem to entrust a WU to 2 GPUs, but to entrust 2 WUs to a GPU.
