My card is an AMD Radeon 6570 and when I run a second instance of Seti on it, it appears to launch the second instance but there isn't ever any progress until the first instance finishes. Then Seti switches over and runs the second instance just fine while launching another instance that never shows any progress.

Any help?

Seti version 7.0.28 (x64)

I don't know if it's still relevant (interpreted), but "-instances_per_device 1" does contradict "<count>0.5</count>" anyway.

It does. If someone knows for sure I can easily change it to 2.

Changing it to 2 worked!

---

it wasn't exactly a contradiction it only allowed your GPU to use half of its cores to run the WU.

Would this also work with a geforce gtx 650ti?

Only if you are running either:

a)optimized apps and have an app_info.xml

or

b)if you are running the current alpha version of BOINC

Were can i find the oprimizer or that file? i tryed looking but no luck looking for that file. ty

it is currently unavailable due to litigation

How about that one file u named would i still have that?

the app_info? not unless you created one or already had the apps installed

Can that file,be created? and if so where should i place it? or is it a hidden file? sorry for all the question.

app_info would do nothing for you without the optimized apps that are temporarily not available.

as to the Alpha BOINC release, it's not recommended for the general public due to the high potential for bugs.
