Posted 2 Nov 2014 by Bridget Wuerdeman Post: FYI: My GTX-660 at factory settings lasts an average of 24 seconds before crashing. I have attempted to throttle the GPU usage through the GUI, but as of this time, I can not get it to reduce utilization below 100%. I have taken GPU processing offline to keep the processor from melting the solder off the board. :) If this item bug can be fixed easily, please me know. With the advent of newer and faster graphics cards (from multiple vendors) every few months, it probably is not worth the time to investigate this specific issue. IMHO, unless the GPU routines are written for blanket coverage of GPUs keep it at the bottom of whomever's 'ToDo List'. Seems senseless to put a lot of effort into something that would probably work for the next 9 months then need revision(s). NOTE: I seem to be processing work units fairly well without the GPU. At the time I write this, the main system I have has processed 83,040 work units in 8 days, without using the GPU and while running parallel with SETI (which I am disabling until at least 2015). Thanks for listening, Bridget. |
