Folding on a backup GPU

Curious, I have a GTX 460 that is for sale but I am getting next to no nibbles on it. Would it be possible to toss it in a spare slot and have it fold? If so how would I set that up?

My MoBo is a GA-MA790X-UD4P.

Yes. Just get the GPU3 client and Follow this guide. Basic version, though. Make a new folder and extract the new F@H files there. Run it. Give it a different machine ID. When the option to add flags appears add the flags "-forcegpu nvidia_fermi -local -gpu x" (x = 0-9. 0 is the main GPU slot, 1 is second slot, etc) You can also add these flags to your shortcut. I didn't even have to reload my driver when I put in a second nVida card. Running a GTX465 and GT430 for F@H. If you are okay with the power usage OC the cards as safely as you can. Can mean a pretty good increase in PPD, not amazing but good.
