How do I get my GPU to do this? Any advice greatly appreciated. ID: 54906 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Your GPU, 9500GT doesn't support double precision. There is nothing you can do to change that. So.. to run Milkyway you have to change your card with another one that Does support double precision.. ;-) Or.... crunch another project with it. ID: 54911 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Can I disable the GPU and still crunch? 40,000 credits does seem to be a bit of a waste if I can't. :-) ID: 54918 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
