I've noticed that 7.0.28 will keep asking for GPU work until it gets to about 1.25 days more than my min + additional setting, and even at that level it will ask for a few thousand seconds of GPU work. I use local preferences of 6 and .01. I don't get much CPU work until it gets to 7.25 days of GPU work per BOINCTasks' sum of estimated times. You can intervene and temporarily turn off GPU fetch in the SETI@Home project preferences (website). I have do this about once a week to rebalance the cache. Of course, that would affect all of your hosts unless you are using venues (home, school, etc).

And set at least the <sched_op_debug> logging flag in cc_config.xml so that you can see exactly what's going on when work is requested/received.

And what do you see in message log? Does BOINC client asks for CPU work and doesn't get it or it doesn't ask for CPU work?

Yeah I think I might have cleaned out the feeder in one request.

If I remember correct, the feeder had max. 100 WUs on hand, so our BOINC could get max. 100 WUs/request.

This value was increased? To which value?

1)Fixed: Progress indicator dropped back to 0.
- Partially fixed (for AP): it shows and do not drop back to 0 but now stays at 11% till task end

2) Not fixed: Count actually run is one more than the selected by the drop down box:
(the same problem happened (I reported it before) with previous versions with <maxAutoCount>3</maxAutoCount>
Now I replaced this with <showMaxCount>1</showMaxCount> and selected 0.33 from the GUI)

Installers have been temporarily removed pending resolution of some concerns related to the licensing.

It is not 'specific', it is on every line break:

The log files (SetiPerformance.log & result.log) use strange sequence at line ends (line break):
0D 0D 0A (CR CR LF) instead of the usual for Windows 0D 0A

I thought GTX660 was faster than a GTX560, wonder if we tested using the same WU?

If and when this program become automatic, somebody pm me and I will gladly run it and post up my gtx 570 classified both at its stock 822MHz and at its current 839MHz.

This has me confused.. Just for fun I tried this on two computers both with GTX 260's and both comp's came back at .5 as the optimal setting.. So I decided to actually try it on one comp and so far it is a tiny bit faster running at .5.. I'm lucky in that I have a group of work units that are all the same day and angle.. It crunched 8, two at a time, at 6:35 each.. And so far it's crunched 4 or 5 more, 1 at a time, at 3:44 each..

How is this possible? Everything I've ever read says the 200 series can't do 2 at a time or that it wouldn't help.. Yet I'm seeing a positive from it and the card is staying in the upper 70's with default fan settings..
