Great news!

Has anyone returned and validated jobs with a Turing yet?

Yes, supporting the current app on Turing should be rather low effort. Making use of exclusive Turing features or newer CUDA levels, that requires more effort.

I'd really like to upgrade my GTX1060 to a GTX2060, but knowing it's unsupported by GPUGrid, I'm not going to do it. Pity for the project itself, it could tap into so much more compute power by supporting Turing. :-(

I'm usually using 1, currently 2 GTX1060 in my PC. These have power limits of 120 and 140W. When running full throttle these produce far to much heat to be cooled silently (1 x 140mm exhaust vent being the bottleneck).
When I set both to a power limit of 70W, their boost clocks drop by 100-200MHz depending on the load (here GPU utilization by GPUGrid). I'm gladly trading that ~10% drop in MHz against an almost 75W reduction in power draw, heat output and hence fan noise.
It's as easy as that, just decrease the power limit. No need to further fiddle with frequencies and voltages. Nvidias Boost mechanism will get you the best clocks within the limits you allow.

I exclude acemdlong for the GT730 in cc_config.xml...
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<app>acemdlong</app>
</exclude_gpu>

http://gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=380872

This host runs a GTX1060 and a GT730, both crunching GPUGRID, the later only short runs...

Somehow it works for me.

Put this in the <option> block in your cc_config.xml

<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>


Adjust the device_num to the GPU you want to exclude...

Ran wget --no-cache --delete-after http://www.gpugrid.net/download/libcufft.so.8.0 from an EC2 vhost in Dublin, a vhost in Bavaria and my home computer in Hannover/Germany. All Ubuntu 16.04, all stalling...

Interestingly another computer today downloaded the ~40MB libcufft 6.5 in one go today via a 3G mobile link (carrier 1und1.de, D network). I'll retry there tomorrow with the libcufft.so.8.0...
