Hi,

As stated above in the subject I'm having a issue with two nvidia graphic cards running in SLI.

My two cards of which the top one has a bit older bios so it runs a few degrees hotter than the lower one by default is constantly being the one used by firefox and it's fairly annoying to listen to a graphic card fan while just browsing the web.

As you can see on the two screenshots the top card is the one always being pulled up from it's 2d mode to 405 and 851MHz respectively.

Having load balancing between the cards in a SLI/Crossfire configuration would of course be optimal but I can imagine that would take some time to get working. The ability to tell Firefox which card to use on the other hand, is it something that would be possible to add within the near future?

Best regards, Conny

I've recently started using firefox 4 with an sli setup consisting of geforce 8800gt, just like in your case my first card runs hotter than my second card, but that should be normal from what i've read; if you download gpu-z it should show you if the load is constant across both cards, IF you want firefox to run off the second card you could try to change the setting in the nvidia control panel; if you go to the program settings you can add firefox to the list of programs and change the cuda/gpu setting to use only the 2nd card; that might help, but you might also want to make sure that you're second card is running at x16 instead of x8 to get the full performance
