A first tentative version for windows is out.

Let's see if it works.

Seems to, I let exactly 20 of the beta tasks run with stock settings and they all validated:

Win 7 Pro x64, i7 870 @2.93GHz, ASUS P7P55D-E, 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP and most important two Gigabyte NVidia GeForce GTX 680 OC 2GB and Forceware 301.24. BOINC 7.0.27 x64.

Runtimes around 60 seconds, as you can see, load was around 80% when tasks were running.

Strange things with XP32. Gets to around 20% complete then starts again 296.10 & 7.0.25
UPDATE: sorted. Anti-virus disabled Now finishing in ~65s with OC 570

So far so good.

Though the computer seems sluggish and slow, when they are running.

It's working on GTX 590, GTX 580, GTX 480 too.
Win XP x64, drivers 301.24, and 296.10.

More than 60 tasks all successfully done with the Windows client. I'm seeing a real world run time of 56 seconds each, though the reported time is nearly 10 seconds higher:

Anyone of those having problems ever thought about upgrading BOINC to latest from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl, perhaps?

BTW it is working good also on a GTX480 @825 core with ForceWare 296.10 under Win 7 Pro x64. :)

Seems to be working for me too.

W7 Home Premium on both & SAME CLOCKS and same drivers 301.40:

i7 3820@4.3, 680@1200 w/ memory@3100 running 7 WCG tasks= GPU utilization at 85% averaging around 64 seconds. When running 0 WCG tasks, GPU utilization at 91%=60s

i7 2500k@4.2, 670@1200 w/ memory@3100 running 3 WCG tasks= GPU utilization at 90% averaging around 65s


So clock for clock at same GPU utilization and roughly same CPU clocks, the 670, on these betas, and at both 90%, the difference is around -10%.

EDIT: Managed to get 2 energies have become nan while OCing, to see how fast I could get them. What's interesting is that nothing changed in runtimes, seemed to hit a wall at 57-58 seconds on mine. I prefer leaving these cards around 1200 anyways. But no problems here, good job guys

Suspend/resume works fine (20% and 80% checkpoints as on Linux). Also stopped it ran another task, resumed... No problems thus far.

Looks like a GTX670 on W7 is on par with a GTX570 OC on WinXP_x86.

Also just tried them on the 302.59 drivers, which have support for CUDA 5, and they worked perfectly. Roughly same speeds

I have put some more WUs out.

What are the suggested drivers then for Windows and Linux?

GDF,

I received some new beta-wu 6.43.

They all causes all other boinc-mgr-jobs to start all over again.

Hi all !
Please, would you be kind enough to recall, everytime you post, the configuration you are using i.e. :

OS type and version
GPU(s) type(s) and driver(s) version(s)

Greetings

Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x64

As far as Windows drivers go, I can say that I have had no issues MYSELF with either 301.40 and 302.59 (alpha CUDA 5 dev driver). I have not had any issues with any driver in the 301.xx range for Einstein@home either for my 670&680.

NVIDIA is supposed to be releasing a new WHQL very soon, possibly before the real app is released for this project. If a WHQL or new beta is released before then, I will try it and post results.

Newest driver official driver from NVIDIA is coming out next week (don't know if it's just Windows or not)

Will test them then GDF

I have noticed my computer is very unresponsive when running the Beta units. Win 7 x64, GTX570, 301.25 nvidia driver, 3770k CPU, Sabertooth X77 Motherboard.
Besided the slowdown beta is running great on my system. Over 300 of them now last i looked.

I have put some more WUs out.

Whatever works!

For GTX600 cards on Windows I suggest 301.34 or above. I think drivers prior to these do not support the GTX690 and GTX670. These drivers support CUDA 4.2.1.

For GTX600 cards on Linux I suggest 295.53. This driver supports the following cards:
GeForce GTX 690, GTX 680, GTX 670, GT 645, GT 640, GT 630, and lesser non-recommended cards.

For GTX500/GTX400 cards, just whatever is stable for you and supports CUDA 4.2. Actually the 295 and 296 drivers only support CUDA 4.1.1 but have been demonstrated to run these Beta's. 296.10 is WHQL, but that stamp is pretty much meaningless. So I would recommend a more recent driver. On XPx64 with a GTX470 I have tested everything from a 295 driver up to 301.34, and the tasks all ran. There may however be issues with some of these drivers, and I have noticed glitchy performance related to the GPU downclocking during periods of non-crunching.

On Linux I was able to run the Beta's using 295.40 (Ubuntu 12.04 repository, Boinc daemon install) on a GTX470, but others expressed problems with that Boinc setup. Anyway, that driver and up supports the Beta app.
