Can a GTX650TI process more than a task at the same time?

Apologies if it is a FAQ, but I tried to make my homework searching past posts, but for some reason I have not been able to find the answer.

Yes, at least 2 instances are easily possible with your card.

Thank you very much.

Then I have to look harder, because at the moment I am still stuck with one (<count> brings me to a (one, just one) "waiting to run" task for CUDA. Some further fiddling with app_info.xml and the drivers (I am on 310.70 form Asus) needed, then.
And no, I do not want if possible to switch to Boinc 7.xxx.
Still happy with 6.6.38 environment. :-)

Thank you again,
Sleepy

You need to change count to 0.5.
Thats all.

All 6 of them.

Or you run Boinc 7.0.64, make an app_config.xml and you only need to do a 'read config file' to change the instances running at once,
no need to change six entries, no need to restart Boinc, and less likely hood of doing a typo and wasting your cache:

<app_config>
 <app>
 <name>setiathome_enhanced</name>
 <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
 <gpu_versions>
 <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
 <cpu_usage>0.04</cpu_usage>
 </gpu_versions>
 </app>
</app_config>

It depends on the amount of video memory installed on your video card. If you have GTX 650ti with 1 GB of video memory, you can run 3 tasks, each task takes about 200-260 MB of video memory.

The side effect of running more than one task is that each task takes longer to to finish. When I do 1 task, the task finishes in about 12 minutes.
When I do 2 tasks, each task takes about 18-20 minutes.
I am doing 3 tasks right this moment, the estimate is 27-29 minutes for each task.

If you want to install Lunatics custom app that will create app_info.xml file for you (it sounds like you already have one), drop me a private message. I run BOINC 7.0.25 with Lunatics v0.40 installer, I made a shortcut on my desktop to the app_info.xml file, this way I turn off BOINC, change the gpu count in 5-6 places (use Find in the Notepad) in app_info.xml, restart BOINC, go do other things. It is a little annoying if you have to change it often, but it is better than partial instructions that people throw out and expect you to guess the rest.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
During these silent days, I have been twisting and bending all settings.
And things are now running almost smoothly.
The problem I had to solve was produced by many factors:

1) I have an Asus GTX650Ti card and using drivers downloaded directly from Nvidia site was no good.
2) I was using Boinc 6.10.38. This also gave problems. I have passed through the latest Boinc, controlled with it that my app_info.xml was correct (it was since first attempt) and set up everything to have the GPU run 3 concurrent tasks (testing which of 2 or 3 tasks is best) and Lunatics XC application. <counts> works perfectly, and it would have from the start if only there were no other issues.
3) Installed 6.10.55 and this works fine and has the old interface which I greatly prefer.

Today, after the reminder by Wiggo, I added also the required environment variable to reduce the possibility of errors for the 6xx cards. Look here:

Still, I cannot use the test application by eFMer. This still errors out for me.

I hope this approach to solve problems may help someone who was in my same dire straits.

sleepy, is there any chance that you can post GPU-z sensor tab pictures for both running 2 and 3 w/u's as I'm interested in the loadings that they produce on that card.

Cheers.
