1) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : Why so many errors ? (Message 10354)

Something must be going on because my 275 card had been crunching fine until the other day.... I am seeing more errors in the past day then all the other days combined and it is happening in the first minute of run time...

since 4 days!!!!!!!!!!
Suspend all your other work and let it (GPUgrid) ask for work instead of manually trying to get work....If you look closely at what you wrote, you are not asking for any work that is why you didn't get any work...

That sounds good.......It would be nice to finally see a standard used in all three projects.....And this will also be a big help in the future when more GPU projects come online.....
4) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : 3/16 What version of BOINC are you using? (Message 7619)

I have tried several of the 6.6.xx versions but always go back to 6.5.0 due to multiple problems...........
5) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : Overclocking GPU... (Message 6956)

Had the same experience like you: my card errored out each & every WU on GG and when I switched to SETI it ran without any probs...
If you want to continue to crunch GPUGrid-WUs you have to lower your OCing until you get no more computation errors...


I believe something has changed in the Application's myself. I have a 8800GT OC that was running the WU's just fine then a few days ago started erring out every WU after 3 Seconds. Like other people I can run the SETI GPU WU's just fine though.

I've even under clocked the 8800GT OC & it still errors out the WU's, so lowering your clock speed isn't necessarily a cure for the errors, at least it wasn't in my case.

The 8800GT OC runs perfectly fine though for everything else @ it's Stock or the Overclocked Speed it came with except for running the GPUGrid WU's so like I said I think it's something in the Application's that's changed ... ???



I must say that I am seeing the same basic effect with my Asus 8800GT. I run 3x 8800GS and 1x 8800GT. The GS's are running fine as usual. The GT collected dust for several months, but is now back up and running--and kicking out 1 compute error after another. This particular card has always been the biggest pita out of the 4 (even on F@H). I just lowered my OC a bit once again, but I expect it to start throwing errors again...maybe not though. I thought it was the card and/or OC....however, after reading this: I'm wondering if there is an 8800GT issue. It's a G92 card.....
I run 5 8800gt's (all o/c'ed) from three differnt manufactures and have the extremeely rare work unit have a problem...I am still running 6.5.0 on all my machines so maybe the problem is with the 6.6.xx application............
