Gaming, on my Tesla, more likely than you think

Hardware Hub GPU
70

After hours of pulling my hair out I worked it out, I kept having issues with the geforce driver crapping out the tesla driver along with the order windows had discovered the cards.

Specifically for my setup with a 980 and a Tesla K40M.

  1. Install your drivers. Installed the Tesla driver first in safemode so it appears first in the list in the display adapters class.
  2. Go into regular windows, install geforce driver.
  3. Add “EnableMsHybrid” = 1 to your tesla in “0000”, delete the adaptor entry.
  4. Set your non-tesla gpu to have “EnableMsHybrid” = 2 in “0001”

This is what has given me the entries for “Power saving GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX980” and “High performance GPU: NVIDIA Tesla K40M”, anything just wouldnt work.

I assume this just an edge case for my setup.
