So far so good. Been running about an hour now.

Added to 1 host, Windows XP, NVIDIA 169.21 cuda 1.1 drivers.

Reports 1 GPU correctly and resumed work.

The bug for communication with BOINCview is fixed changeset 15920. 6.3.10 clients now remain shown as active. Tested with two versions of BV 1.5.b8 and 1.2.6.

I will test on other hosts on Monday.

Run fine here too on a vista64, I'm wainting for the new application based on CUDA2.0 to restart the gpu computing; I'm impatient

It run fine on XP x64 for me, detects the cards ok.

It's now busy crunching away on Both 8800GT's :)

But when you try to update the client, there is an error.
No communication possible for those client!
So there is still a bug.

Seems to be running fine with Win XP 32 & 9800GTX+

Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

Looks like I found a minor bug:

When I want to switch between "host total", "host average" etc in the statistics tab, the 6.3.10 BOINC does not refresh the actual content of the window until I minimize/maximize or switch to a different tab and back. Suspending GPU-Grid doesn't solve the problem.

Yeah I get that problem too, also when attatching to a new project, it does not show up the new project in the Projects tab.
And also when connecting to my other computers, via boinc manager it always brings up the attach to project thing.

Same problem here in the 32bit XP and 64bit Vista version. Also the 6.3.10 is a memory pig. After a runtime of one day or a little bit more the BOINC manager needs up to 1 GB RAM while running multiple projects. A restart helps, but this is not the fine method, I prefer systems running without baby sitting.

I have not noticed Boinc Manager using a lot of memory.
I am running XP x64 both computers have been running for nearly 3 days and boincmgr.exe is using about 3MB on each one.

Just checked again my both Vista 64 bit machines. On the Phenom 9950 BE with the GTX280 the BOINCMGR.EXE use 1,460,524 K, after the restart 5,308 K. On my Phenom 9850 BE with the 8800GT they use 856,912 K, after the restart 4,740 K. On my XP 64 bit machine BOINCMGR.EXE only use 26,408 K.

Looks here like the big problem only exist on Vista 64 bit machines.

How long does it usually take before it shows such a high memory usage?
I installed Vista x64 +SP1 +updates last night, it's been running for just over 13 hours and boincmgr.exe shows 5,572K, this is on an Intel Q6600 with a 8800GT.

I've checked it again and have watched it on the taskmanager. When the boincmanager is open, they grow in memory constantly. When I close the manager, the memory consumption stagnate. When I reopen the boincmanager with double click, the consumption start again constantly. While I had the boincmanager always open, they grow over night up to 1,5 GB in memory.

That should be helpful information for the Devs, thanks!

my memory usage for boincmgr.exe has only grown 1 MB in the past 2 days, from 117mb to 118mb. And no, I have not closed it or restarted BOINC or the comp.

Server 2008 x64 with BOINC 6.3.10 x64

Well, on XP32 it's 4.4 MB, according to task manager.

Yes, (as Keith already reported elsewhere) it was finally fixed in changeset 15942. I've successfully tested the both patches on 6.3.8 and BOINCview was extremely happy with such client ;-) (although not me, knowing how inefficiently BoincView communicates, but that's another story).

To be expected in BOINC 6.3.11, just Rom Walton is on holiday AFAIK, thus no ETA.

I'm running two GTX 280's on BOINC 6.3.10 and it says it is only finding one. Anyone have some suggestions to test if the computer is recognizing both cards? I'm pretty new to all this, so, any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

To run multiple cards with BOINC, you need to disable SLI, otherwise only one card will be recognized.

To check your cards you can use GPUZ.

When I run that GPU-Z it says that the SLI is disabled. It does not give me the option to enable it either...?

!UPDATE! Even when I disconnected that SLI bridge, it still said there was only one...what else can I try?
