Similar to other threads, it seems asteroids@home doesn't play nice with "new" hardware (some posts describing the problem are over a year old). Since the project doesn't seem to have time to fix the problem, some sort of blacklist for Turing hardware would prevent a lot of wasted time and server load. It's a shame GPU compute hasn't been fixed, as I'm sure it accounts for the majority of WUs completed.

i have also noticed this issue (only recently hence my visit to the forum) my older GTX 960 runs them fine but my 1660TI always gets a compute error. would be good if it could be fixed or BOINC allowed you to specify which GPU handles which tasks for example blocking the 1660ti from doing the asteroid tasks but still allow it to do seti tasks.

you can do this on a per project and application basis via cc_config and app_config. see the boinc client configuration wiki for options.

Is the same true for 10xx series GPUs? I have a 1660ti and a mining 1070, or is it just that it's an odd model, all GPU tasks I gave gotten have failed immediately without any error message.

Same here on RTX2080TI very sad not able to use the GPU power.

Hi! I seem to be having this same problem running the asteroid app. At least in some cases, the app will start running and then Windows will detect that the video driver has stopped responding and restarts it. This stops the app from continuing and it apparently just sits there until the next project swap time. I have seen an elapsed time of 1:30 and the app is only at 0.010% done. I have recently updated to an EVGA GTX 1660 XC Gaming (06G-P4-1163).

The new app is running about twice as long for the same credit as the old one on my duel 1660 Ti Windows 10 machine. Looking at GPU-Z both cards are running at 98% but I didn't look through the whole run time.

My machine is: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=673371

Hi Dingo,

It will be interesting for us if you provide some more information how did you measured the execution time "before" the new cuda102 application, as the old one doesn't support GTX 1660Ti, could you?

Should I make my statement here, regarding the speed of the applications, sticky?

Nowhere in my post did I say it was not working. My post was placed here by your moderator. It works fine just gives half the credit as shown on my tasks page.

Your moderator should look before trying to put words in my mouth.

Moderator comment: Wrong thread. Please pay attention when you ask for help or just providing feedback where exactly you place your posts.

Hi! I started running asteroid jobs again after seeing the new CUDA102 application was released notice and things seemed to be going fine for a while. Then I got a “Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.” message from Windows again. This causes problems with some visual elements on my desktop and prevents me from recording in-game content until I turn off video recording and then turn it back on again, which is a hassle. If this continues to happen, I’ll have to stop accepting asteroid jobs again. Any suggestions?

An update. I went into Nvidia GeForce Experience to reset my video recording before going in-game and it couldn’t even access information about the card now.

My 1660Ti is working here but is not using the standard Nvidia drivers:

No idea what happened or why but it does work!!

Hi! Sorry for the long delay. What driver are you using? And it is not that I can not run any asteroid jobs, but that some jobs will cause Windows 7 to decide that the driver is not responding and forces a reset. As I said, this causes my desktop to be screwed up and Nvidia GeForce Experience not to be able to access the driver to display card information or access video recording settings or perform video recordings.

In Windows once the driver crashes the only way to reset it is to restart Windows itself.

Hi! That I already found out though experience but does not help with preventing it.
