In Boinc MW is reporting my 9800GTX ASUS card lacks features necessary to run MW on GPU. And, MW is not running on CPU either. Nil. Do I need hardware upgrades to move along?
Boinc 6.6.28
MW 0.19 X86.exe
Thanks

Update your BOINC and nVidia drivers, that may help.

MW needs double precision capability. 9800 cards do not have this.

OK that explains that, and also why MW DOES run on a 275 card. Is there an explanation for no CPU activity as well? The CPU is a Q6600.

The 275 IS a double precision card. I assume you have selected your preferences to run on CPU and GPU. Anyway I'm not sure you can run MW on a GPU and CPU in the same box without an app_info.xml file. Can anyone else confirm this?

If you run stock CPU and MW Cuda it works, but if you add optimized CPU app you will get no Cuda. At least thats how mine worked out.

OK however I was referring to the PC which uses the 9800GTX card. That PC is not running MW at all but should be on CPU.
Thanks
