You wouldn't want the screen saver to work anyway as you have a lot of work in cache that will be done on your videocard's GPU(s) ([2] NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT (512MB) driver: 28538). While it is possible these days to do graphics at the same time of doing calculations on the videocard, the project admins here have chosen not to release a graphics application for their CUDA application. This because it can corrupt the work you run, as both the calculations being done and the graphics/screen saver use the same internal parts of the videocard. Only one can use them at a time and be stable on lower end videocards. |
