I added an cc_config.xml, with ncpu=5, which works OK. Is it the card, or something else? After 24 hours on 1 task it is now in High Priority, to meet the deadline. ID: 881618 ·

Why not ask this on the GPUGrid forums? They are responsible for their own work, you know? ID: 881629 ·

It does not meet the minimum requirements for running GPUGrid as it does not have the minimum 50 cores or the recommended 96 cores. In fact, I think it has less than 20!! ID: 881725 ·

See http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=867, the card can be used, but with questionable outcome. ID: 881745 ·

Of coarse it 'their' responsibility Won't do it again. ID: 883036 ·
