I just got a RTX 4070 Ti Super. It's crunching away at a task via BOINC.
The status is "Running (0.01 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU).
The progress bar shows 0.044% after 2:30 minutes of crunching, and remaining time is staying at 3:18. Sometimes the remaining time will say something like "3d 12:24:13"
I see the task is ps_241204_input_67517_87 with computation size of 1,380,023 GFLOPs.
Suddenly the progress bar will go to 100% and the task will finish.

Is this normal behavior?

Thanks,

That's fine. Usually GPU application has problems like that. As long as WU are validated. Other thing is GPU vs CPU here at Asteroids. GPU is very unefficient. That's Why I put all CPU power here, but GPU to other projects.
