OK, so it's been a while. A long while. Hi again guys and gals! I've recently sparked up Outlander after a year or so of down time and am back into the crunching frey but I have encountered a bit of a problem which MIGHT be a case of "Your Graphics Card Is Too Old" and I'm willing to accept that... Begrudgingly. I have 2 x nVidia 750Ti which crunch away happily, albeit not as fast as I'd like, so I found the old (1st gen) Titan which I used to use, stuck it in the computer, and tried to get it to crunch. But it won't. 12/05/2017 20:30:44 | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0 (not used): GeForce GTX TITAN (driver version 382.05, CUDA version 8.0, compute capability 3.5, 4096MB, 4010MB available, 4707 GFLOPS peak) I have a feeling that that 'compute capability 3.5' is the kicker here. I'm probably missing something about Hardware version/Driver version too. At least that's what my gut tells me. -I have the Lunatics 0.44 optimised apps installed in Windows 10 -My app_info.xml has each GPU app set with an avg_ncpus of 0.25 and a max_ncpus of 0.5 (we can debate the wisdom of that later unless it's directly related to the issue at hand :-) ). -I DID install the optimised apps BEFORE swapping in the Titan, I am going to re-install them after I finish this post to see if that makes any difference. I'll report back. The Titan seems to be working in all other respects. It'll drive a monitor, the nVidia GeForce Experience application sees it and Device Manager reports it is not throwing any hissy-fits. Well OK, it actually reports "This device is working properly." Other than that, welcome back, me![/b] ~W |

It sounds like your cc_config. Do you have <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> in it under options? If not that, did you re-install the driver after adding the card? Clean install of course. |

Agree with Brent, check to see if you have a cc_config.xml in the BOINC folder |

Thanks for that. I didn't have <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> in cc_config and adding it has made no difference. (It worked without it with both 750Ti, though) I've re-installed the optimised apps and twiddled with app-info.xml to no avail. We'll see if any genius can spot what I am sure is obvious. I just can't see it. I'll re-install the nVisia drivers, if that doesn't work; back to the 2 x 750Ti It sounds like your cc_config. Do you have <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> in it under options? ~W |

You should have a line .. 2017-05-12 3:55:43 PM | | Config: use all coprocessors It didn't seem to read it cc_config should be of the form <cc_config> <log_flags> <file_xfer>1</file_xfer> <sched_ops>1</sched_ops> </log_flags> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> |

It seems that your cc_config.xml is not found, it should go to the Boinc data directory \ProgramData\Boinc. I would expect to see a line like this in the log: 10-May-2017 11:47:48 [---] Config: use all coprocessors [edit] Brent beat me while I was typing. |

It could also be he inserted the cc_config but didn't restart BOINC or tell it to reread the config files. Somethings to consider |

It worked for about 5 minutes. I was writing a reply explaining I somehow missed the <use_all_gpus>0</use_all_gpus> directive at the bottom of the file (obviously over-riding the <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> I put earlier in the file) when... My CPU gave up! (logic board reporting through a hex code display that the CPU is not initialising and a very prominent and red "your CPU is fried" led) But that's a whole 'nother story... What I don't quite get is that I never edited the cc_config file when I was running the 2 x 750Ti - so it must have had a <use_all_gpus>0</use_all_gpus> directive - yet BOINC/Seti@Home used both GPUs.

Sorry to hear about the CPU... Having that go is never a good experience. I hope you are able to get a replacement for it or are you thinking new cpu and new MoBo? |
Brent Norman Send message Joined: 1 Dec 99 Posts: 2786 Credit: 685,657,289 RAC: 835 |
OUCH That's a nasty turn of events! Sorry to hear that. I heard someone mention that you don't need <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> IF your cards are identical, or very similar. That must have been what was happening before. |

It's a 3rd act plot twist I could have done without, that's for sure. To answer an earlier question I think I'll just go for a new CPU for the moment. Makes sense about the cc_config file and identical cards, though, if that is the case. It's all knowledge and experience which I can pass on if I see someone else in the same situation. Thanks, all. OUCH That's a nasty turn of events! Sorry to hear that. ~W |
