3) Message boards : Number crunching : Congratulations (Message 57190) Posted 7 Feb 2013 by Mark W. Patton Post: Thanks for the advice. I bounced my machine and the work unit that was going to take 32 minutes looks like it is going to take about 8. I thought this 7770 was going to do a better job. I'll just have to save up and get a better card when I can. Regards, Mark W. Patton
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Congratulations (Message 57169) Posted 5 Feb 2013 by Mark W. Patton Post: Well, congratulations! Somebody did something that managed to slow my 7770 to a crawl again. It seems sometimes, that you are actually trying to deploy work units that don't work. I have a 4850 that used to process these work units faster than the 7770 is now! What are you gaining by this approach? How is taking a card that used to process work units in 4 minutes, and slowing it down to 52 minutes beneficial to you? Just curious, Mark W. Patton
5) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI 7770 issues (Message 56647) Posted 27 Dec 2012 by Mark W. Patton Post: I have an ATI 7770 running Milkyway. It seems the work units are taking longer and awarding fewer points. Do I have something set wrong?
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem with GT 640 (Message 55439) Posted 31 Aug 2012 by Mark W. Patton Post: I just installed a new nVidia GT640 in one of my machines and it won't run the opencl projects. It is not an SLI capable card. Running BOINC Client 6.12.34. Also running Win XP 32 all updates. Installed latest drivers from nVidia. The card shows up in Device Manager as operating. I think I am missing something. Hoping it is not because it is not SLI capable.

8) Message boards : News : New Separation Runs (Message 53553) Posted 5 Mar 2012 by Mark W. Patton Post: I'm still returning more errors than successful work units. My ATI 3300 is working fine but the 4850 is erroring out. I swapped 4850's today and still have the same problem. This started to happen with the opencl work units.

10) Message boards : News : Separation updated to 1.00 (Message 53111) Posted 12 Feb 2012 by Mark W. Patton Post: BOINC 6.10.58 appears to be for Mac OS X. Is it safe to run in windows?
11) Message boards : News : Separation updated to 1.00 (Message 53100) Posted 12 Feb 2012 by Mark W. Patton Post: My ATI 4850 is not processing the new work units. In an attempt to make the suggested upgrade, my 4850 is now not even processing the Collatz projects that it was processing fine. My machine is running an ATI 3300, 4850 and Nvidia 550. I am afraid I am returning more errors now than work.
12) Message boards : News : Separation updated to 1.00 (Message 53023) Posted 10 Feb 2012 by Mark W. Patton Post: I have been running Milkyway@home projects on my ATI 4850. Are these cards no longer supported?
13) Message boards : News : maximum time limit elapsed bug (Message 48588) Posted 8 May 2011 by Mark W. Patton Post: I am wondering what kind of points are allotted for the N-body projects. I've noticed that they start grabbing processor threads before they even start running. This shuts down processing on my other projects and reduces productivity on my machines. This type of project grabs all the processing threads of my 12 core system. If the points are high enough or the project important enough then OK. Please advise. Mark W. Patton
