I am using two Alienware systems, one a laptop and one a desktop.
I have some good news and some bad news. First the good news. There were no errors on the desktop. All test cases have cleared verification. The bad news: Error on laptop: id device not found. VC is Nvidia GTX660M. Device drivers are up to date. Error details: Result Log Result Name: BETA_ OPN1_ 0020029_ 00133_ 2-- <core_client_version>7.14.3</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> The environment is incorrect.

There is some good information here in Part 3.

Got 5 WUs on a Dell i7 running Windows, and they all finished in 0.25-0.47h.
 Got one more WU on my i7 MacBookPro, and just like the last batch, it very quickly failed, again...  Ralf  |

Nothing to do with Windows, nothing to do with a GTX 1080. Could be: You have nothing excluded, so there's nothing to report. You're running a very old version of BOINC. What version do you have - recommended is v7.16.11? Your GTX 1080 isn't recognised by BOINC - Windows 10 driver problem? I have AMD GPU and Intel GPU excluded, since I don't have any GPUs of those types. I use BOINC 7.16.11. BOINC recognizes and uses my GTX 1080 for several other BOINC projects, including GPUGRID and Milkyway@Home. I keep its driver up to date. It has finally downloaded and run 19 BETA_OPNG tasks, all now verified. For a day or two, it was not downloading any WCG CPU tasks. This stopped happening about the time I shut down BOINC for a few minutes, then restarted it. |

I found on another project that GPU computing wouldn't work if BOINC was installed in service mode. I think it installs to run as a service by default and that project couldn't use the GPU with BOINC running like that.
Not sure if that's common to all projects or not, but if you are having problems getting your Windows box to run WCG GPU units it might be worthwhile uninstalling Boinc and reinstalling in user mode during the setup to see if that was the problem. |

That is true, but only for Windows. See this page: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing Especially this part: Warning: On Windows do not install BOINC in Protected Access Execution (PAE) mode aka service mode (6.4.5 - 7.0.28) or Service Install mode (7.0.64 and above). If you do, BOINC will not be able to detect or use your GPU. BOINC can correctly detect and use GPUs on Macs when running as a service or daemon. On Linux you can install BOINC as a service daemon and on certain distros configure X-server to allow BOINC access to the GPU. |

There are a number of hoops to jump through to get these GPU betas to run:
----------------------------------------* This won't be necessary for the production WUs, but for any WCG beta, your machine must be using a standard WCG Device Profile ("default", "home", "work", or "school") for which Beta Testing is enabled. This setting is in the last sub-menu option of your My Contribution section, not under Settings as you'd expect. * In the selected Device Profile, enable the relevant "Use my <brand> graphics card if possible" setting. Whether you also enable "Do work on my graphics card while computer is in use" is up to you. * Under Windows, you can't run BOINC GPU work if BOINC is installed "as a service", as Grumpy Swede states above. You may also need to log in to an Administrator-rated account to start BOINC with GPU work on Windows. You can switch between installation types by re-running the BOINC installer. In the installer, select "Install", not "Repair". The Service Install option is in the "Advanced" section. Running "Install" leaves your BOINC Data directory files untouched, but you can back them up first if you're paranoid. Use the current Recommended BOINC installer. * Your graphics card and driver must support OpenCL 1.2 (or above). There are several programs that can test this: clinfo (Windows) or here (for other OSes). or Geek3D's GPU Caps Viewer (Windows). Use the latest driver for your graphics card. Note that Windows may lie to you that your driver is up to date when it is not. Go to the manufacturer's website. Example: Windows says that the Windows 7 iGPU Intel HD4000 driver v9.x is the current one, but from Intel it is actually v10.18.10.5161. Driver v9.x only provides OpenCL 1.1, while v10.x does OpenCL 1.2. * The beta WUs may start and misbehave in some way, like hanging or crashing. There may be tweaks to avoid that. Good luck!
