Thanks for the replies. They are a good starting point.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU Performance? (Message 53858)
Posted 30 Mar 2012 by Wiyosaya
Post:
I am going to do a new PC build in a couple of months, and I may be able to upgrade the GPU on one other machine. Currently, I run nVidia GPUs, however, I note that some AMD GPUs far exceed the processing speed of my 1GB GTX 460 on MW@H (some by a factor of 10 in terms of total compute time).

If I do upgrade the GPU in the other machine, what I would be looking to do is buy an inexpensive AMD GPU (maybe 77X0 or 78X0) and then dedicate that to MW@H.

To that end, I am wondering whether anyone has compiled a list of GPUs vs their performance on MW@H. I would prefer to get an AMD GPU that has at least 3x the performance of my GTX 460, and having such a list would be helpful.

Thanks.

PS - I searched for GPU performance, but I did not find anything. My apologies if this is duplicates another thread.

As of January 11, I am not getting any work units. In fact, I have not gotten any WUs sinc the server update. The pertinent messages in the event log are:

1/11/2012 20:56:50 | Milkyway@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
1/11/2012 20:56:50 | Milkyway@home | Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA GPU
1/11/2012 20:56:53 | Milkyway@home | Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found

Any ideas?

EDIT - OK - so I did not see the above post with the same messages.

Here is what worked for me on Windows 7:
Shutdown BOINC
Command prompt - ipconfig /flushdns
Restart BOINC

I am not running DHCP so ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew have no meaning for my machine.
