Joining GPUGrid the easy way

[Otis11]

I don't know how it relates exactly to CPU usage... but you'd have to crunch the numbers to actually notice any difference.

None of your graphs or overall stats are going to change noticeably for WCG.

Welcome to the team!

Otis, you might want to put this link for where to get the drivers.
Its the ones WFO ran all week on 9600GSO's and 8800GT's with success and the ones GPUGRID links you to for setting up GRID.
Just a thought, might get some older cards up and running.

[Otis11]

^^added at the end, but please confirm it's still working in a week or so.

I am still waiting for my 65nm GTX260-216 to work in GPUGRID. Can anyone tell me how it's going right now?

I am still waiting for my 65nm GTX260-216 to work in GPUGRID. Can anyone tell me how it's going right now?

Have you tried those dev drivers? IDK if it'll help but so far it's the only chance I see...

[lkiller123]

Can you give me a link on those?

[slaveondope]

Almost a month in and I have to report that G92 chips will not run KASHIF_HIVPR projects.
Ive errored out on every single one with the 9800GT and just caught the connection today.
All other WU's so far complete and validate just fine so, I'll abort the KASHIF_HIVPR projects now until I get another card.

Thought it could be useful info for the GPUGRID SuperComputerWeek to get some older cards on for the event and get the most out of them.

[Kingcarcas]

Yep, that's why i sold mine and got a GT240

Note added. Thanks Slaveondope!

Hello
I joined to team today, and i was looking messages and something is obviously wrong??

First of all - Welcome to the team

First thing I notice is this:

15.2.2011. 21:10:10	 don't use GPU while active

So your Task is going to keep starting and stopping every time you get off and back on your computer... If you go to the advanced view, Toolbar->advanced->preferences->processor usage and click the "use GPU while in use" option.

Next thing that stands out:

15.2.2011. 21:13:19	GPUGRID	Message from server: Fermi-class GPU not supported by cuda2.2

To keep receiving workunits you need to update to CUDA3.1 drivers (256. or newer)

So I think you need to update your drivers...

Nothing else jumps out at me... try those and post back your results. Also, what is your computer doing? Sometimes symptoms are easier to diagnose than log reports.

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately I failed to state this explicitly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I would encourage you however to join collatz or milkyway if you're interested in contributing with your ATI or AMD GPU.

It has now been updated.

Is your machine 100% dedicated? If so, there's some tweaks for maximum output. If it's on/off/multipurpose, default settings are cool. In any case, thanks for signing up!

might be stealing Otis11's thunder here. He's kinda the de facto team captain
