check ebay or facebook marketplace or other normal online markets.

K. Have checked there. Thought checking here I was more likely to find retired GPU hardware.

Am I allowed to ask if anyone has any used ones for sale?

Is there a for sale area for used GPUs on this site. If there is I missed it.TIA.

Good news. My hope is that somehow the ever annoying download issue will be gone when the new server is fully operational.

I am the only user of this PC. And it happens even when I am working on it. Driver updated - no change, GPU clock lowered by 200Mhz - no change. Folding@home works flawless. I have no idea what else I could do.

Windows at times has video driver timeout issues with XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 but that was with ATI cards. If you're using Win10 I have no experience with that OS. Never heard of it happening with Nvidia but that doesn't mean it couldn't. Try this and see if it helps. If it doesn't work it should not affect your computer in any way but to be super safe and eliminate "murphy's law" you could image your drive before you start if it would make you more comfortable. I've shown this fix many times to others without a single problem reported.

Copy and paste ALL of the text below as is into notepad. Rename the file timeoutfix.reg(or another name if you like). Now double click on it. You'll be prompted about adding files to the registry. Just click yes on any that appear. Now restart your computer. If your strange behavior stops then it was a timeout issue. If not then it's something else. If it doesn't work you can always go back and delete the reg entries if you're not comfortable leaving them there.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Watchdog]
"DisableBugCheck"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Watchdog\Display]
"EaRecovery"="0"

Linux app is live now.

What driver version is needed to use the CUDA8.5 (Linux) app?

The newest I could find for Linux is 367.44. I'm currently using 367.35 and the completed tasks I have show v9.14 (CUDA 80) as the app. Don't know if the newest driver would make use of 8.5 but since I've had too many gnarly experiences with video driver updates I'm not going to play guinea pig on this one. Maybe someone who has already updated to 367.44 can chime in.

Strange. My 1070 does not get better than 90% and the 1080 is even worse, maybe 75%. No matter how many tasks and the CPU/GPU ratio. As if the algorithm is not yet Pascal optimized.

But this gets off topic a little... maybe I should bring that question forward somewhere else.

FWIW my 1060 runs @ 95% with 2 tasks at a time at stock settings. What's truly amazing is that according to my UPS it's only pulling 45 watts.

Manually managed the hanging download issues and ran a few tasks. 4 short tasks completed in 464-537 seconds but another listed as a short task took 13,764 seconds. What's up with that?
GTX 1060 at stock settings, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, driver 367.35.

Upon further inspection it seems that the longer running task had 5 million steps where the other 4 had only 250k.
