Hi all,
Been out of the forums for a while. Been needing to take a bit of care of myself. Still been crunching, but not wanting to get too involved with human communication.
Anyway, I recently upgraded to Windows 7 (64) - schweet. Been having problems with nVidia drivers and stuff. Finally nailed some of my problems to the nVidia driver (not the fan issue) but updated to the latest version and some of my GPU crunching issues have gone.
I crunch Aqua and GPUGRID. Both been very nice. Aqua unfortunately has the habit of using ALL my cpu resources, so I get 8 core WU's. Not a majot problem, except that the recent GPUGRID WU's require 0.27 CPU amounts. I have 2 x GTX295's, so that is 4 cores, wihc adds up to more than one CPU core, so AQUA used to stop - this was under Vista 64
I have been trying for the last few days to get all 4 GPU cores to run. Not as easy as in Vista. Finally made up some dummy VGA adapters and now Win 7 'sees' 4 desktops.
Now the problem. I can only have 3 GPUGRID wu's running. Once the 4th one downloads (and they are large files!!!), if errors out within a few seconds. I even halted the CPU crunching to rule that out.
I have tried crunching the SETI GPU suff but that had the 'audasity' to tell me waiting for GPU memory - man, each core has 896 meg available.
BOINC reports 4 GPU cores. It tries to run 4 WU's, but bombs out. And when I did manage to get 4 running, I cannot crunch 8 core Aqua WU's.
Any ideas?
