So I've got two GTX680's ready to go, so what are the minimum requirements?

For a Win64 box, what's the minimum driver version needed for CUDA 4.2 support?

295.x - Certainly 295.40 for Linux works and for Windows 295.x is CUDA4.2 capable, but this has issues, so I would suggest 301.x

Do I need to allow test apps in the preferences?

And how do I avoid being given the older apps?

Yes, and Deselect everything other than the Beta tasks.

Is there a preferred BOINC client, as 7.0.27 has various nVidia detection fixes?

All this is assuming the windows client is available.

Obviously 7.0.27 would be better than .24, .25 and .26 then.

There is no 4.2 Win app yet, it's being compiled. Maybe in a few days?

Regarding Fermi cards. This app will be for Fermi's too, so testing on Fermi's is also important. It will both increase performance of Fermi's and facilitate the new Kepler cards (when it's working fully).

ok, i download Nvidia Version 295.40 and checking it out. Greets

Edit:

Still erroring out ...

Edit:

And of course it crashes at start.

Still crashes here at start

Just configured GPUGRID preferences to accept beta WUs and not others on my Xubuntu machine (odysseusII home):

Xubuntu up-to-date (Linux 3.12.0.24 generic)
Gigabyte GTX 590 with 295.40 driver coming with the distribution upgrade.

Waiting for the WUs to come....!

Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x64

Still crashes here.

Running Win7 64-bit with 680 card running 301.24 drivers

Checked my preferences and it says "ACEMD Beta - Yes" - the other 2 are set to "no" however it still downloads "ACEMD for long runs" along with some other work called "ACEMD2"

Gets as far as downloading the work then crashes with acemd.win.2352 has stopped working error

Only 150 credits on linux huh. I was kinda wondering how long it would take with a 570. As they havent released a decent priced 600 yet.

Worked fine for me with many units

Version: 295.40 Certified
Release Date: 2012.04.11
Operating System: Linux 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10

HOW TO - Full installation Ubuntu 11.10

Can you guys try to start and stop it just at the end or other odd things?
This is a largely revised app.

gdf

Still trying , but no results, still an error at start.

Using a nvidia SLI chipset board can it be that i have to use a Intel chipset

mainboard instead ?

Can u help ?

greetings

Suspended and restarted a Beta several times at varying stages from ~20% to 97%. Also ran a Long task, suspended it, started the Beta, suspended the Beta, restarted the long task (several times). No issues:

Ok,
let's see with the windows built with more users.

gdf

I'm using 295.73, which is CUDA4.2 capable, on a 2003R2x64 Windows system with a GTX470. When you release the Windows Beta app I will test against that driver and then update to one without the monitor bug, 301.x, and test again...

Hopefully some people with GTX600 cards are on a Beta only profile.

Ubuntu 11.4 Driver 295.40 GTX680

No issues.

Tried closing and restarting Boinc when a beta was running (Linux). No issues.

sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

Also useful for when Boinc tells you that your GPU is missing, say after upgrading to 12.4 and finding the cc_config file was replaced, deleting the delay!

No problems from turning LAIM on and off either. Will mess with a few other settings...

Gdf, can't tell from your measag, but if you allowed windows for beta, mines not grabbing any.

Still failing all betas here with 295.40 or 302.07 drivers on Ubuntu 12.4.
What happened to make those who were failing betas to get them working ok?

i bet it's the buggy boinc-client 7.0.24 you are using - upgrade to 7.0.27 and you should be back in business.

As you can see , no download since this morning for my GPU , what's up doc ?

Also useful for when Boinc tells you that your GPU is missing, say after upgrading to 12.4 and finding the cc_config file was replaced, deleting the delay!

...

Setting the delay in cc_config does not allways work. The best way is to add a 'sleep 30' or kess seconds in the /etc/init.d/boinc-client script after the 'start' case.
