One short 7.14 finished fine.
One long 7.14 and 7.15 is running...

The 7.14 has 10% lower GPU utilization than the 7.15, I'm going to abort the 7.14....

I've received a short 7.16 :)

It's finished ok, but the GPU usage is still 10% lower than the 7.15.

7.17 is available :) I've aborted the 7.16....

The GPU utilization of the 7.17 seems to be normal (95%)

On my eVGA GTX 660 Ti FTW (with the CPU fully loaded by CPU tasks), the 7.17 MJHARVEY_TEST10 task doesn't even reach 80% GPU utilization. Also, the drivers don't think the GPU is under enough load to ramp up the clock via GPU Boost. So, at 79% GPU utilization and 74% power utilization, the GPU stays at my normal 3D clock of 1045 Mhz, instead of the 3D boost clock of 1241 Mhz that I expect (and get from other GPUGrid tasks).

It just seems that the task is not making the GPU work hard enough to achieve that GPU Boost clock.

You should leave one CPU thread free per GPU (so on your i7-965x with 3 GPUs you should set the multiprocessor setting to 63% CPU).

Nope. That's not how I roll.

Anyway, as I said, it doesn't trigger GPU Boost speeds, whereas all of the normal GPUGrid tasks do.

No problem with GPU boost functioning correctly for me.

At any rate, my 780s never get past the 50 sec mark for the longer beta tasks. They always end abruptly.

Give the 7.19 a try.

One of my 7.17 long has finished, 3 more are near to completion.

There goes the 7.20 :)
It seems to be running fine on my hosts.
But I'm going to sleep in 10 minutes, and I'm going to resume the non-beta tasks I've suspended to give the beta units priority.

A 7.20 has been running ok so far on my Titan - 25 minutes in. Looks like it wants to run about 90 minutes.

MJH, you must be getting sleepy:

For a 50s task I got 15,000.00 points lol.

Good news, so far, I have a Test10 which has past both the 50s and 120s marks, which were common crash points.

Will keep an eye on it.

That's good news indeed!
How much is the GPU usage? (on Titan and on GTX780)

Titan's GPU Load is 72%.

Titan's GPU Load is 72%.

This should be higher at least by 20% with real workunits.

Agreed, unless it turns out we can run multiple instances?

80% on w7

Completed and validated my first MJH TEST10

# Time per step (avg over 2500000 steps): 1.724 ms
# Approximate elapsed time for entire WU: 4309.969 s

GTX460SE, WinXP, 314.11, Boinc 6.10.58
BETA 7.18 cuda42 *TEST11* - GPU Utilization 50-60% :(
But last 4 minutes 99% :)
