	Is there a site which tell me which graphic cards can do BOINC I have got a Geforeve 7100 and just updated the driver to v 195.662 will this do BOINC as my optimised version did not say that it could before I upgraded the driver. Thank you in advance for helping ____________

	madmac Skildude said it the card you have is not on the list. Depending on the Boinc Core Client you have, it may show the card. Boinc will not request any work for the card. Regards ____________ Please consider a Donation to the Seti Project.

	Just a reminder for all.......... The 195.xx drivers are NOT the best to use for current Cuda cards........ They were released in advance of the new Fermi based cards not yet on the market, and actually can degrade Cuda crunching performance on Seti by a few percent. 190.62 or 191.07 are the way to go (not much if any difference between the two). And above all else, once you have the correct drivers....make sure you download and install the 2.3 dl's!!! You can get them HERE. Just download them to a temp file, unzip, and copy and paste them to your boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu folder over the existing dll files. Or you can rename the existing files first if you want to save them. And as always, shutting down Boinc first and restarting after the change is recommended. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

	Dang it... I just got asked the question, and I can't remember the answer, or if there is one... Is it possible to verify the Cuda dll version that you are currently running? ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

	Dang it... I just got asked the question, and I can't remember the answer, or if there is one... Is it possible to verify the Cuda dll version that you are currently running? You can compare the size and the date of the files in the folder. IIRC, CUDA_V2.2 and CUDA_V2.3 are different in this.. I looked in my folder.. cudart.dll - 14. Juli 2009 - 279 KB cufft.dll - 14. Juli 2009 - 8,23 MB This should be the values for CUDA_V2.3 .. ;-) ____________ [Optimized project applications, for to increase your PC performance (double RAC)!][Overview of abbreviations, which are used often in forum and their meaning.] ____________ >Das Deutsche Cafe.

But...if somebody looks at the files, and they are in the wrong folder, that is not proof that they are running them.

	You are missing the point.... The files may be present...but are they actually the ones being used? No I didn't missed the point.. If this two files are in your folder, you have only one of this each.. you use this files.. There can't be version 2.2 and 2.3 together. If you inserted 2.3 you overwrote 2.2 . ____________ [Optimized project applications, for to increase your PC performance (double RAC)!][Overview of abbreviations, which are used often in forum and their meaning.] ____________ >Das Deutsche Cafe.
