Will the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT work ok? Will Boinc 6.4.5 and Cuda work if installed as a service? (my preference) What Cuda drivers 178.28 or 180.60? Thanks Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....

Will the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT work ok? Should do. Will Boinc 6.4.5 and Cuda work if installed as a service? (my preference) No, BOINC must be installed as not a service. What Cuda drivers 178.28 or 180.60? Minimum drivers is 177.35, so anything above is good enough as well. ID: 841044 ·

Last modified: 17 Dec 2008, 20:47:11 UTC Will the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT work ok? I have Realtek WinFast PX9800 GT (S-Fanpipe). Work bad - after few runs "out of memory". Will Boinc 6.4.5 and Cuda work if installed as a service? (my preference) Probably. What Cuda drivers 178.28 or 180.60? 178.28 is CUDA 2.0 which is recommended, 180.60 is CUDA 2.1 Beta which is not. For me - 178.24, but I didn't tried 178.13 yet, which is my last hope. ID: 841046 ·

Little concerned about the issues with CUDA 2.1, as my new main box requires the 180 driver for proper functionality. I'll take a look at it when I get home. ID: 841051 ·

Last modified: 17 Dec 2008, 20:44:08 UTC Use 180.48 (WHQL-Certified) in case you requiring it as "180". This in between 2.0 and 2.1 Beta, should have 2.0. ID: 841052 ·

Like my QX9650 is already processing 4 work units right now; if I upgrade the client and my drivers will I be processing 5 work units at one time (4 regular and one CUDA)? Also, will this run when you are using the optimized apps? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. ID: 841057 ·

Like my QX9650 is already processing 4 work units right now; if I upgrade the client and my drivers will I be processing 5 work units at one time (4 regular and one CUDA)? No, it only planned in future versions. But, you probably can run 3 AP programs on CPU and 1 MB on GPU (which takes 0.04% CPU), but no 2 MB tasks. To run 4 CPU+1GPU additional modifications is required. Also, will this run when you are using the optimized apps? Yes, probably, but both optimized AP 5.0 and Enchanced 6.05 must be set up in app_info.xml, I think. But I know nothing! ID: 841066 ·

It seems that the GPU app still needs a free CPU to run completely. If you check task manager the GPU app needs 5-10% of the CPU to max out the GPU computing. ID: 841070 ·
