Everything seems to be running just fine at my end now.

Thanks for the fast fix.


Cheers

Same issue here, the GPU isn't utilized by the new version. (1.42 opencl_ati_101)
CPU load is high.

Same here with an AMD 7870XT under Win10

There's some intermittent GPU work every now and then but only at a very low percentage of the WU run time.

You may need to update/increase the "Minimum Work Buffer" under the Tools/Computing Preferences/Network settings tab. Add .5 to 1 day to whatever it currently is set at.


I'm running multiple projects, and it seems to me that having a non-zero minimum work buffer leads to erratic scheduling.

Running a GPU without external power means you have to stay below a TDP of 75W.

There's one AMD card that with decent DP performance that fits the bill, the Firepro V5900.

Sadly, it's prohibitively expensive at > $400.

I frequently run out of work for short periods of time when there's a high percentage of "fast" WUs.

My GPU goes through 2 of them in about 20 seconds.

Would it be possible to increase the amount of work done in the fast WUs, so that the required amount of communication with the server drops?
