Hello Guys!

First, I'm sorry if for this dumb question, but I've difficulties to get a GPU Geforce 610 working... I know that it is an old GPU with low performances, but I just want to know what I do wrong.

Here is the computer profile: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu//show_host_detail.php?hostid=8528442

When I start boinc-client, in my Event log my gpu is recognized as expected:
CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GT 610 (driver version 390.48, CUDA version 9.1, compute capability 2.1, 964MB, 932MB available, 156 GFLOPS peak)
OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GT 610 (driver version 390.48, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 964MB, 932MB available, 156 GFLOPS peak)

Tasks is given to the GPU also:
2) -----------
name: blc11_2bit_guppi_58185_72022_LGS_3_off_0027.21631.1636.22.45.171.vlar_1
WU name: blc11_2bit_guppi_58185_72022_LGS_3_off_0027.21631.1636.22.45.171.vlar
resources: 1 CPU + 1 NVIDIA GPU


But as you can see in the profile, in cuda the GPU has very low performances and I don't explain why. Can you give me some advices to understand ?

Thanks in advance.

According to the specifications for the gt 610 card, it only has 48 CUDA cores.

A GT 710 has something like 192. And it can take at least 2 hours per task.

So I would just process tasks on the cpu until you can afford to upgrade the card.
