I have a new computer using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card.

Windows 11, Core x64 edition, 16 processors

My BOINC Event Log says it's using GeForce driver version 591.44, CUDA version 13.1, and OpenCL version 3.0

CPU tasks run merrily, but when it reaches out to download GPU tasks the log says:

"Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU"
"Scheduler request completed got 0 new tasks"

Meanwhile another computer I have using an AMD GPU obtains GPU work units consistently.

Any ideas here? Is my GPU somehow not compatible with Asteroids?

Not getting tasks since yesterday.
Event log says no work for project available.
Up to now no problems getting work for Nvidia GPUs.
On my side no changes made on my hosts.

same here. No work units since yesterday, colleague with the same issues

my specs:
CPU only (Ryzen 9)
Windows11, Boinc 8.2.9

As long as I dont get any new tasks from Asteroids I'm calculating Einstein@Home, which works fine.

This happens literally every time new tasks are uploaded to the server.

https://grafana.kiska.pw/d/boinc/boinc?orgId=1&var-project=Asteroids@Home&from=now-30d&to=now

The server stops sending new work for a while, even though the status page shows that work is available. Just wait or extend your work buffer.
