I have decided i want to start using CUDA I am going to upgrade the client to 6.4.9 So here are the questions At present i am using the OP APP Win32_AK_AP_SSSE3x Can i still use this OP APP or do i need a different one? if so can anyone enlighten me to which one. as it gets bit confusing :) do i need to run out my present Cache? before I upgrade the client I have NVIDIA drivers which are CUDA compatible but i have noticed in the group there is new drivers do I need to Upgrade again? No techy speak just plain english will do thanks Thanks for you help Sapiens dominabitur astris. The wise shall exercise dominion over the stars. |

You can't use that specific app and do CUDA, but there is a new CUDA+AK_v8 team app you can use from this thread, but will envolve a bit of techiness to get it to use all the cores with a cc_config.xml file explained on the Lunatics page. There's also alot of info in the thread and the Lunatics forum. do i need to run out my present Cache? before I upgrade the client No, it doesn't need to be, but unless you're real confident with what you're doing, it's not a bad idea. I have NVIDIA drivers which are CUDA compatible but i have noticed in the group there is new drivers do I need to Upgrade again? I believe you need a minimum of 181.20, but I'm not 100% on what the exact spec is, but I do know that's the one I'm using. It might be as low as 180.xx though |

Im not sure where to post this so Im hijacking this thread a bit :-) I have been offered a 2nd hand 8800GTX ultra for £50, I already have a more recent GPU, but was thinking of buying this, sticking it in my dell work PC and crunching seti on it - I have a pci-x x16 slot so its possible. Is anyone else using one of these monsters to crunch seti? What sort of output can I expect from it - is it worth doing? Just curious on how much increase in workunits I will get from this thnx in advance |

Go to this thread for help, "http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52133" You should have used "url" instead of "b": "http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52133" |
