Sorry, this wu is no longer visible.
But I've seen you don't use the latest driver; you could try to update to 260.99

Hey, that's my computer. I wonder why are results don't match?

My executables are milkyway 0.18 and nbody 0.07. I think these are out of date, but they are the latest available on the opt apps page. I run on CPU only.

I've set nomorework for now until I hear back from someone on the status of optimized apps.

Apparently, the optimized apps for CPU are very out of date.

I've reverted to stock for x86_64 but using the anonymous platform for SSE optimizations. Hopefully, my results going forward will be a closer match to everyone's.

The apps on Arkayns site are the current opti apps which many users are still using. They are still approved for use at this time.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Hadn't seen that post yet. They are still being used. No word has been given to eliminate them from use yet.
