NVIDIA Cards Not Allowed: GeForce GT 520M GeForce GT 520 GeForce GT 420 Why are these particular cards not supported? I have a GT 520, so guess that explains why I never received any WU's ...  |

w1hue install the last BOINC , and looks in the messages, the compatibility of your GPU is indicated.

It was the stuttering that most concerned me about the last round of beta's way back when sometime before my voice broke
---------------------------------------- The GPUGrid WU's don't show this effect But the WCG Beta made the PC unusable as it seemed to hog all of the GPU (560Ti+1055T+4Gb RAM). My PC is my Telly and it didn't play nicely with Windows Media Centre for the all too brief time it ran. Fixing this would be well worth pausing for. Dave  |

Dave Try installing MSI afterburner and use it to down clock the memory on your card and see if that helps.

Hi Nanoprobe
----------------------------------------I have the afterburner it's the MSI card twin frozr in the Mobo and it is unaffected by GPUGrid Why am I back here - the latest Beta's from WCG have just arrived How did I know? Media Centre stuttering ..... The wick needs turning down just a shade otherwise people will abandon the project (the equivalent of the 60% default setting for CPU usage) I'll have a go with the memory clock and see what happens I expect it will be worse.... Nope no improvement The GPU beta's turn a 6 core 1055T and a MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II into something way less responsive than an atom powered netbook to the point of trying to position the mouse is a challenge That's my feedback for what it's worth Just to re-iterate I don't suffer in the same way at GPUGrid There's no perceivable impact in performance while running the WU's over there GPUGrid uses 85% of the GPU constantly (leaving 15% for spporting graphics on the PC) WCG is peaking and troughing from 50% to 100% Dave [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Apr 16, 2012 10:48:23 PM] |

No that's properly annoying making Media Centre unwatchable

6 mins 44 seconds in total to return the WU !
----------------------------------------If it took 7 mins 30 seconds I might be able to continue to use the PC |

6 mins 44 seconds in total to return the WU ! If it took 7 mins 30 seconds I might be able to continue to use the PC What OS and how much ram do you have? Also have you played with the Boinc settings? There is a setting saying if the pc does not have at least X% of the cpu free pause Boinc, the default is 25%. Try freeing one cpu core by changing the number of cores to use to 99% and see if that helps any. You can also UP the 25% to 30, or more, but do it slowly and use trial and error to find a setting that gives both pc usage and Boinc crunching. There is one more setting you might think about, to NOT use the gpu while the pc is 'in use'. ANY mouse or keyboard movement will pause the gpu and give you back control of your pc, you can then set the resume to crunching time to say 1 minute. ALL these settings are in the Boinc Manager which is down by the clock and accessible thru a right click. Remember if you change anything you MUST click ok to make it work!!
