Quadro FX-1700

Does anyone know the trick to getting this card to work with Boinc 6.10.18 on Windows 7 x64?
I've updated to the latest Nvidia drivers and I still get the "No usable GPUs found" message.
Every list of compatible GPUs I've found has this one listed, but I can't get it to work.

Re: Quadro FX-1700

I understand that. I was hoping that someone might be doing other Boinc work and have some insight.

Have you looked over this site?

You have to have the correct video drivers installed.

Re: Quadro FX-1700

Hello pirogue. First, I am not familiar with this card but, as I remember, it was designed as a CAD/CAM card and may not be supported by BOINC. If you have checked this out and are certain it is supported, here are some other things to consider:

1, Are you certain you loaded the 64-bit driver for Win7?:
2. Did you load the CUDA tool kit containing the CUDA 2.3 dll’s?
3 Have you checked to see that Win7 does not have a problem with the card? (control panel>device manager)
4.Is this the only vid card on the MoBo? If no, did you check the NVIDIA Control Panel to see if there is a problem and that all displays are defined to NVIDIA?

There is always a possibility that the card is defective. A long time ago I got a GTX8800 that displayed video just fine but BOINC would not detect it. I RMA’ed to the manufacture and the new one worked just fine

Last, you may want to post your problem on the BOINC forum and/or GPUGrid forum. You can also look here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing

I hope this helps. Good luck!

You have to have the correct video drivers installed.
It's in the list of compatible devices and I downloaded and installed the latest drivers today.
I installed the driver and double-checked the compatibility list before asking for help.

1. yes
2. I thought the toolkit was for developing. I just installed and it still doesn't work.
3. It shows up with no exclamation (or whatever Win7 uses)
4. 1 video card
I guess I'll try one of the other forums. I really didn't want to have to keep track of another account.

Re: Quadro FX-1700

Quadro boards are different and they have different drivers. The performance of the same type GPU on a quadro board and on a mainstream GEForce board is also very different on software like 3dsMax. I have tested the 280, 285 Nvidia boards with Seti and had no trouble at alll. The GPU was recognized immediately and activated.

Check, in your message list, when you start Boinc if you have the following line (or something similar) in the message list:

NVIDIA GPU 0: QUADRO XXXX (Driver Version XXXXXXX, Cuda Version XXXXX, compute capability X.X, XXXXXMB, XXXX GFLOPS peak)

Re: Quadro FX-1700

That's what I want to see.
All I'm getting is a "No usable GPUs found" message.
I've found 1 log that has what I want to see, but it looks like it's running 32-bit XP:
22-9-2009 18:10:03 Local time is UTC +2 hours
22-9-2009 18:10:03 CUDA device: Quadro FX 1700 (driver version 19038, compute capability 1.1, 512MB, est. 10GFLOPS)
22-9-2009 18:10:03 Not using a proxy
