I think it will mostly depend on the Driver Version also to some extent the operating system and power supply. I agree it would be nice if we could get a list going of cards returning valid results what they are running for drivers, OS, and boinc client. It would also be nice to maybe have a list for people with invalids to help figure out what drivers, OS and boinc client may need to be avoided. I have a Windows 64bit Win 7 Ultimate machine running Boinc version 6.12.34 and it has two AMD 5770 gpu's in it that consistently fails when trying to run a gpu unit on the first gpu, gpu 0. I also run Moo on that machine and it uses BOTH gpu's, on the Moo workunits, and I am wondering it that is the problem. Could Moo not be giving up a gpu and the WCG unit is erroring out because of it? This is my log: Result Log Result Name: BETA_ X0000130860777201112120934_ 1-- <core_client_version>6.12.34</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> All pipe instances are busy.

Try close moo wrapper and launch a new world Community Grid gpu task. I hope that you understood my response. English is not my mother tongue. |

Yes I understand, and your English is MUCH better than me trying to speak whatever your native language is believe me!! The problem is the gpu units are very sparse right now and some work and some don't, I was hoping to provide a thought process as to why some are giving errors. It happens way to fast for me to 'catch it' before it errors out, the only solution for me would be to stop crunching for Moo and I don't want to do that right now. I have multiple machines so even seeing it happen as it happens is extremely rare for me.   |

1 out 4 might be usuable.
 It's not in the home budget to upgrade video cards and possibly PSUs, as well as the extra electricity.  I'll be happy if I get at least one working.  I know these won't work  :ATI Radeon HD 2300/2400/3200 (RV610) - ATI/AMD Cards Removed in next round of testing (i.e. we know these won't work) ATI Radeon HD 4350/4550 (R710) - ATI/AMD Cards Having Errors ATI Radeon HD5x00 series (Cedar) - ATI/AMD Cards Having Errors This one I apparently have to use a SDK driver, won't know till next BETA round  :AMD Radeon HD 6x00 series (Turks) - ATI/AMD Cards Returning Valid Results |

You should also add this =), since it's missing:
----------------------------------------ATI/AMD Cards Returning Valid Results: AMD Radeon HD 77xx series (Cape Verde) There have been also one or two invalid/inconclusive results at the very beginning of the test, the most recent are all valid though as far as I remember.

So, which card and what are the times? |

Errrm ... can someone maybe tell whats wrong? First of all, I have a nVidia GT 320 running in my linux cruncher. http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus tells me:
----------------------------------------GPU Compute Capability GeForce GT 320* 1.0 > grep -i capability stdoutdae* ... stdoutdae.txt:19-Mar-2012 14:09:06 [---] NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GT 320 (driver version unknown, CUDA version 4020, compute capability 1.2, 1023MB, 187 GFLOPS peak) Is there some magic that enhances the compute capability in the driver software? Yes, I know, at this time there is only windows software out there that uses the GPU. But now I'm curious ant waiting for the linux version to see what my card can do. knreed said, the beta will need compute capability 1.2 ... and I don't know. > nvidia-smi -a ==============NVSMI LOG============== Timestamp : Mon Mar 19 14:48:35 2012 Driver Version : 295.20 Attached GPUs : 1 GPU 0000:01:00.0 Product Name : GeForce GT 320 > lspci |grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 320] (rev a2) Strange ... and very interesting.
