While Einstein's BRP3cuda32 app reports:

[18:39:54][5696][INFO ] CUDA global memory status (initial GPU state, including context):

[18:39:54][5696][INFO ] Version of CUDA driver API used: 3020

I tend to believe the Einstein figures because i don't think the GTX460 is fully clocked up when Boinc does it's figures,
looking at different Cuda GPU's results at Einstein seem to indicate that 266.58 drivers report higher flops than 260.99,

Fred's figure are very low because he's running Boinc 6.10.43, 6.10.44 had a fix for that:

- client: NVIDIA peak FLOPS estimate was wrong for Fermi (32 cores, not 8).

installed gtx 460 today
GPU usage is 1%-5%
I changed the count to 0.5 in the app_info.

Am I missing something? would like to see the gpu kickin :)

Thanks

What clocks are you running? Mine are:

MSI Afterburner says
1800/810/405

GPU-Z says
675/1350/900

(I think a light came on, or that TRAIN is getting really close!)

I believe the varying benchmark results being reported are the result of the differences in hardware and software we are using.

If we tested each GTX 460 (or any component, really) one by one, in the same machine, or on very nearly identical platforms, we'd better get relatively consistent results. Video card results might vary some based on clock rates or memory totals, but the results should be fairly consistent for each configuration.

Well, of course, that isn't what's happening here. Different platforms, different BOINC/project softwares equals different results for the same (or nearly identical) component.

That doesn't mean the results are useless, not at all. But, comparisons are most relevent between similar systems. The more similar each compared system is, the more equal the performance results should be.

Do I need to abort the WU I have in order to get GPU WU's?

No, Boinc asks for work for CPU's and GPU's separately,

When you ran the Lunatics installer, did you select the X32f Cuda app, as well as the AKV8 SSSE3x MB app and the r409 AP app?

Claggy

Might be worth reinstalling Lunatics & ticking the box to allow GPU.

Seems like lots of GFLOPS around here. My startup messages:

There is only one CUDA option in the installer
.
Enable processing Multibeam task on Nvidia CUDA GPU
I did tick it enabled.
Enabled Astropulse 5.05r409
Enabled SSSE3x

When you used the optimized installer did you check x32f CUDA app box, all I see is CPU work on your machine.

Make sure 'Use NVIDIA GPU Enforced by version 6.10+' is set to 'yes' in your SETI@home preferences

This is the installer I used
Win64 Lunatics' Unified Installer v0.37

I dont see
"x32f CUDA app box"

I guess Im more lost than I thought I was :)


edit:
I do see this in the app_info file

<name>Lunatics_x32f_win32_cuda30_preview.exe</name>
So it is running ?

Thanks!

One other thing to check is if you have set up local preferences that may be overriding the Web-based preferences. I've been tripped up by that one more than once...

You can't set Project preferences in Boinc Manager, so they can't be over-riden,

Is Boinc even asking for GPU work? it should say the following:

26/02/2011 19:41:12 SETI@home Requesting new tasks for CPU and GPU

If it isn't, then eithier you're got No New Tasks Set, or you haven't got 'Use GPU' enabled at the same Venue you're set your host to (ie default, home, school or work), or the MB Cuda app isn't installed,
I suspect it's a preference problem as you didn't even get Stock Cuda work,

Before I installed the 460 I had 400+ WU (10 day supply).
After installing the 460 I also did Lunitacs unified installer

I have seen it ask and get CPU WU.
It has not asked for GPU.

Right now its not asking for anything :(

Shut Boinc Down, and rerun the Lunatics Installer, make sure you're selected the 3 Options, with the centre option set to SSSE3x, then restart Boinc,

Make sure you haven't got 'No New Tasks' Set,

Make Sure your Host is set to the same Venue where 'Use Nvidia' is set to yes,

Edit: whatever you're done has worked, you're now got 17 Nvidia GPU tasks,

Now you're running Anonymous platform, the apps won't be auto updated by the project,
you'll need to keep an eye out here, or at Lunatics for a new Installer, as Setiathome v7 has just entered Beta,
and when it goes live here you'll likely find you'll get no more Seti enhanced work,

Claggy

Found the problem.
I had suspended 8 Astropulse WU, I didn't want all 8 cpus doing just AP.

I resumed them and updated boinc
Got 17 GPU WU
ran 2 GPU WU each took 4:08 :)

Thanks for all the help!!
