Hi,

when I use SETI with CUDA everything is OK. But when I shut down the BOINC Client the frequencies of my GPU still are on high settings, so my graphic card is still using the high frequencies and not the idle settings. (not very good cause the power consumption is very high then)

I see you are using BOINC 6.6.11, which is a development version, which can get things wrong. We're also already up to 6.6.12, while 6.6.13 will be coming out any day now.

If you plan to use the BOINC version for continued use, not for testing, you should not use a development version, but the recommended version that you will see at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

How did you install BOINC? (Vista does not play nice with CUDA and the protected application execution (= Windows service installation), so I hope you didn't use that?)

Which drivers do you use?

How did you check that the task seemingly keeps running?

How long do you have to wait before the GPU is idle again?

Thanks for the quick answer.

I used the recommended version before, but this is not using CUDA even if it detects it. Only with 6.6.11 he used CUDA.

No normal install. Not as a Windows service.

Which drivers do you use?

ForceWare 182.06 64bit

How did you check that the task seemingly keeps running?

I use GPU-Z 0.3.2 to check GPU Clock. I don't know if the task is still running just the Clocks are not like in idle.

It keeps using the high frequencies.

The GPU core and memory clocks are never idle, but the GPU Load should go down to zero. Do you see that?

Such as the following (showing my ATI HD3850):
