Hi, i'm have 690 Ndivia card, but jobs are not coming for GPU SETI.
I tried to configure via XML export files.What I set up wrong if the job does not come?

I tried to configure via XML export files.

Why do that difficult? I know some things about BOINC need simplification, but it's really not set up that people adding hardware that can be used for calculations need to learn BOINC XML to utilize it.

So, when you add a GPU, you need to tell the project that you have one and you do that via the project preferences.
You find these under your name in the top right corner of the forums->Preferences for this project->Edit preferences->Check Use NVIDIA GPU->Save changes to the web site via the Update preferences button at the bottom of that page.

Next tell BOINC that the project knows you're using an Nvidia GPU:
Simple view: Open BOINC Manager->Projects: from drop down menu select Seti@Home->Project commands button: click Update.
Advanced view: Open BOINC Manager->Projects tab->select Seti@Home from the list->click Update.

Manually editing coproc_info.xml will do nothing, as this file is written by BOINC each time it starts. Many of the XML files are written/rewritten by BOINC at startup, or during use. While manually editing cc_config.xml and changing <use_all_gpus> is nice, it won't make the project use the GPU if the project wasn't told in the first place that you have a GPU. Therefore: change this in the project preferences. And when you run more than one project, you need to do this per project in that project's project preferences as using the GPU isn't a global decision. Not all projects have applications that make use of an Nvidia GPU, or any GPU whatsoever.

in the project settings, I ticked the "Pause calculation on the GPU, while the computer is in use", check the box for NVIDIA GPU in default and home configuration
but the jobs did not come to the GPU, i'm restart BOINC and update project

It turned out, thank you, hit statistics on the project, it was written that on the GPU tasks delay, once clicked refresh and it loads the task.
So do not come to the job immediately, you need time, several times to push the update and see how it reacts to the project

Each time that your BOINC connects to the project the server will send a delay for 5 minutes and 3 seconds before it allows a next communication from your BOINC. Hit Update inside this time and it'll tell you that you're too early and the timer resets to 5 minutes and 3 seconds (303 seconds).

This was done to stop lots of computers hitting the project over and over again and in that way creating a denial of service attack.

But as I said, any GPU usage decisions are only done via the Project Preferences, not via the (local) Computing Preferences. So again, setting a Suspend GPU when computer is in use preference will not affect the GPU asking for work, other than that it won't ask for work when there is work for it in cache, or when work for it is suspended due to the computer being in use.

I see you have enough work in cache now.
