    I know the SWAN_SYNC set to 0 is working properly b/c each unit uses 13% of my i7 with HT meaning it's using an entire thread. I'm not gaming and I've restarted BOINC many times with system restarts. I have the Nvidia control panel power management set to maximum performance as well as my Win7 power management to high performance.

    Each GPU is only at 40% usage.

    EDIT: Is SWAN_SYNC and SYNC_SORT the same thing? I only have SWAN_SYNC set to 0 as a System variable.

    I'm using MSI Afterburner to overclock the card. I'm going to try EVGA Precision 1.9.2 later tonight. For some reason, GPUGrid is only showing that my card is running at 0.81ghz. I'm hoping I'll have better luck with Precision, and I'm going to update to BOINC 6.10.51 released on May 2.

    if the "acemdbeta" process in the task manager shows 13% CPU usage, then you have it the SWAN_SYNC correct. it's very odd why your performance is so bad. only reason i can think of, is that if you overclocks fail, your core and shaders will downclock. DL the EVGA precision (don't DL from official nvidia, theirs is not updated) or GPUz to check the gpu usage and clocks when it's crunching to make sure it's correct. at stock, your core usage should be 50%, and a little less when overclocked

    this is not right is it? 40%, you should be way higher, no? thats like 2d
    i hope they get this figured out. i am not impressed at all with fermi, i know these cards are supposed to kick arse
