Between this new credit system and being winged by an ATi/AMD card on Astropulse work is just not right. :)

Normally I'd get around 450-550 on my 2500K for that length of time instead of a tiddly 106.09, very depressing it is.

Cheers.

Yes, it was very quick wasn't it.

That task took my 2500K just over 22,000 seconds to do from memory, but it was a shorty.

Normally after a task is validated or stuffed in the rubbish due to errors it goes away after about 24 hours. You have to be quicker next time! :)

So what was the deal with this task exactly?

Most of the time when I get a low ball it is against the stock CPU app. I wonder which is the major cause of your 100. The ATI GPU or the CreditNew.... Oh well the science got done at least. I'm sure they will consider sorting this kind of thing out someday! :)

Just another example of how this "new credit" system being far to unreliable/unstable IMHO.

Little to do with the New or Old Credit System, still using(24 x 7 x365)
an (very)old GTX9800(+) GPU, askes for (more then trouble!)
(Stupid Credits, what can you buy from them.................?????????????????)

A GTX 9800+, started making a few errors, a week later ONLY ERRORs and
I upped the core-clock till it reaches 114C and still 'works', useble only
as VPU (GPU), NO GP-GPU, these types are too old and never were designed
to do GP-GPU, so they shouldn't be doing this!

Use NONE GPUs or use FERMI-type (=> 400/500 series NVidias or 5800/6900 ATIs!)
