Default Testing for secons HD card

I have just installed PT 8.0.3 HD2 on a new computer with Win7 64 bit.
I was running XP before.
I would like to ask how I can test that PT is reading both cards?
They're both PCIe.

When I go to Setup>Hardware and under Peripherals window I only see one card.
It says "HD Core PCIe #1"
Is there a way to verify this?

Thanks

GD

I suppose if DigiTest registers it, it must be there.

True?

Look in the System Usage Window, it will list the number of DSP cards the system has found. Windows pulldown/system usage. You will have to open the window up as PT doesn't remember the window size.

Thanks for that Ghengis.

Under TDM I have:
Voices Allocated; 2/48
Time Slots Used; 7/512

Under Core PCIe #1:
HD Engine; 100% (all read, don't know if this is OK)
StereoMixer24; 14

Under AccellPCIe #1:
Everything is blank

Note I don't have an active session on.

Does this look OK to you?

Thanks

GD

If it's listing a 2nd PCIe Card then it looks registered. Looks like in playback settings you are only set to 48 or 32 voices with 1 dsp card. Goto playback settings and change the playback to be 96 voices/2 dsps.

Then create a new session, create a whole stack of tracks (eg 48), then if you option+click on an insert you can create a whole lot of plugins. This will start to fill up your second DSP card. All looks Ok!
