Hello Fred, thank you very much for the program i use it from the first version you release.
I want to ask you which driver you use to complete 130sec for WU for GTX 295 and which WU from the list because my top time with 3 drivers tested same clock everything the same the best time for Core755/Shaders1655/Mem1255 is 188-190 sec with x41g for wu.
and my max settings are 805/1733/1255 the time for PG0444_v7 unit need 179 sec.

Driver 280.26
The Wu is the one in zip\x41g
Using default settings 576 / 1008 / 1242 "Factory shipped frequencies"

V 1.7 with a small bug fix, now stops as soon as the best result has been reached.

It is my mistake it is not the PG0444_v7 unit it was the unit which was in the zip\x41g ok. thank you i will install the 280.26 and give it a try.

BTW these 130sec are for 1 wu for the GTX 295 total or 130 sec per gpu on the GTX 295 ?
Thank You

Paste/start this from Run ... (Win+R or the field in Start Menu):
Explorer "%APPDATA%\eFMer\SetiPerformance\"

Go to slot0 folder

Start the test in SetiPerformance64.exe
Wait for error, do not exit SetiPerformance
Check the stderr.txt (in slot0)

So ... what am I not doing correctly? (Yes, I stopped BOINC Manager before executing the performance utility).

Look here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\SetiPerformance\slot0

stderr.txt should give you a clue.

The GT 520 may not be able to run the g version.

Do you exit BOINC before SetiPerformance test?
Try also to stop your antivirus before the test.
(something is preventing Lunatics_x41g_win32_cuda32_perf.exe to start)


Another test you may try:
Get the 'combined package' (collected by me) from this post:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=69136&postid=1300787#1300787

Select 'SetiPerformance Test4Test' (there are 2 versions)
Try to run it
(it starts very simple executable - no CPU or GPU usage, just wait timer)
Report is it starting.

Try also the NVIDIA AP test (AP6_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_NV_r1316) (from the same 'combined package')

Program: >> The best average time found: 202 Seconds (3 Minutes, 22 Seconds), with count: 0.33 (3)

But with just a fuw seconds between all the tests seems that on my card the count set to 0.25 will also work.

And what is the Best number of tasks to run if you Optimise the AP app's parameters first? The default parameters are set very low so it'll run on almost any GPU.
