Fermis already work.

I am Ubuntu 32 bit with 260-216--does it not run on 32 bit??

gpugrid is 64 bit only on Linux. Time to upgrade anyways. 64 bit is where its at.

The reason is that Fermi require 3.0 tasks, while for other cards the code compiled with 3.0 is slower.
I can change the server to deliver also to GTX260.

I recieve cuda (not cuda30) tasks for my unusable 65nm GTX260. Could you add a checkbox to choose standard cuda23 or cuda30 for non-Fermi class GPU?

I would like to buy the new gtx460 to use on gpugrid.. will it work?


does anyone have the gtx460 card working without errors on gpugrid?

i have a gtx260 that always failed the tasks..
1. i've installed the newest nvidia driver
2. installed cuda 3.1
3. installed the newest Boinc manager

it still gives errors and doesn't complete the task
suggestions?

Your GTX260 can only run 6.05 tasks, so it does not use CUDA3.1. You also have the 192 shader version, which tends to be much more error prone.
You are using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I found that almost all tasks failed on my GTX260-216 when I used it with Windows 7 x64, so I installed Win XP x86 and now almost all tasks complete successfully. I also ran FatPuppy Linux on the card for abou 10days, and again virtually all tasks completed.
If you can use a different operating system you might want to try your card on XP or Linux. See GPUGRID on a stick. HOW TO

As for GTX460 cards. They are now working here (and use CUDA 3.1 on the 6.11 application).

The above advice is irrelevant. SK, he's using the 192 shader GTX 260 with the bug and yours is the 216 shader version. Why you ever had problems with your 216 shader GTX 260 is mysterious. It should run fine with any OS.

Is the project working along to solve this??

6.11 tasks (CUDA 3.1) errored out on GTX 260 65nm - rev. A. Win XP x_64, driver 2650.99

Is the project working along to solve this??

It's not a problem the project can fix by itself. It has been an issue from the outset with some of the 65nm GTX260's cards and could only be fixed by a driver and through the CUDA developers app, both written by NVidia.

My guess is that the odd 65nm GTX260-192 that works may have newer firmware/ use a different revision.

lkiller123, what revision is your card and have you tried to run tasks at reference speeds?
I think there is a snowball's chance in hell of a 65nm OC'd GTX260-192 crunching GPUGrid tasks in the same system as another OC'd GTX260.
In the past I struggled with 2 such cards and could get neither to work here. One ran MW tasks reasonably well, failing only the odd one, and I think worked on Folding but the other card was a deal loss.

Is there a way to update the firmware? My limping GTX260 is unusable here and I'm willing to try everything to get it working here.

Basically No. As far as I am aware the Bios (firmware/instruction set) is fixed at the factory and NVidia want to keep it that way.

Here are the GPU-Z shots of both cards:

65nm:

55nm:

Found a possible utility to update some cards.
It's called, NVidia Firmware Update Utility.

I am not reccomending that anyone use this, nor have I tested it. I'm just saying that it does exist, and some people have used it for some cards.

Thanks for the video. I will give it a shot sometime soon.
