Posted 24 Mar 2020 by Daniel Post: Hi Georgi, Thanks for your reply. I've done some more quick tests and found the following ... With 2 tasks running HWiNFO64 says ... GTX 1070 Ti "GPU Core Load" = 0% GTX 2070 "GPU Core Load" = 98% Runtime is around 28 minutes. With 1 task running HWiNFO64 says ... GTX 1070 Ti "GPU Core Load" = 0% GTX 2070 "GPU Core Load" = 100% Runtime is around 13 minutes. |

Posted 24 Mar 2020 by Daniel Post: I noticed something else that looks strange. I am running the new application on a computer with 2 graphics cards (GTX 1070 Ti and GTX 2070). In BOINC manager it shows 2 GPU tasks running (one on device0 and one on device1 as expected), but when I look at the GPU load using GPU-Z, I see that the GPU Load is 98% for the GTX 2070, but always 0% for the GTX 1070 Ti. The workunits are completing successfully, but it doesn't look like the GTX 1070 Ti is actually being used. I am using Windows 10 Professional with latest updates, BOINC Manager 7.14.2 and NVidia driver v445.75 I have tried resetting the project, but this didn't help. Edit: I just tried it on another computer with 2 GPUs (two identical GTX 760 cards) and the same thing is happening. Even though BOINC manager shows 2 GPU tasks running, I only see load on 1 GPU. |

Posted 30 Dec 2013 by Daniel Post: Both computers currently have some GPU tasks for PrimeGrid. I tried suspending the PrimeGrid project and then getting some GPU tasks for this project, but I still didn't get any. I can try setting PrimeGrid to not get any more tasks and see what happens when I run out of GPU work. However on other GPU projects I don't normally have to run out of work before getting new workunits. I've tried resetting this project, which made no difference, and I've just tried detaching and reattaching to this project and this didn't help either. |

Posted 30 Dec 2013 by Daniel Post: I've upgraded my NVIDIA drivers to v327.23 on both computers, but still can't get any tasks. I didn't upgrade to the latest drivers as I've heard that they decrease performance on some projects as mentioned in the following thread on the Poem@Home website ... http://boinc.fzk.de/poem/forum_thread.php?id=1016 |

Posted 30 Dec 2013 by Daniel Post: Hi Dagorath, Yes, I clicked the update button and have tried clicking it again. I've set "Should Asteroids@home show your computers on its web site?" to YES. I also just tried getting some GPU tasks on another computer with Windows 7 (64-Bit) and also couldn't get any. I've just noticed that my NVIDIA drivers are older than what is recommend so I'll update them and try again. Daniel. |
