Hi,
with the new applications online for productions, we are happy to have Titans and GTX780 users on board.

IMPORTANT. Just make sure to have the appropriate drivers for these two cards (or newer):

as these fix an important bug.

Great news. I already have plans for a new GPUGRID rig that will outproduce my 3x690 rig for about 50% and should do 3mill/day easily, using the new cards that are about to arrive with GK110 gpus. No more GK104 over here.

Great.

Great news!

So, for potential buyers seeking advice, is it already possible to make a side by side comparison between GK104's and GK110's in points per watt?.

We know long run costs are the key factor in the decision. Initial investment will be linked to each buyer location, wishes, etc so it is more subjective.

thanks

It's excellent news!

Posts discussing relative performances of Titans and GTX780's compared to other GPU's have been moved to,
NVidia GPU Card comparisons in GFLOPS peak. Will continue discussing there, thanks.

I think it would be great if you post this excellent news on the project's facebook wall as well.

Edit - that page says

You'll need to upgrade your server software to at least [22543] to use this feature.

using the outdated SVN terminology. SVN [22543] was committed 17 October 2010, so you probably have it.

By design. It's a debug app.

It did - useful to know it was working as intended. Thanks!

Por GPUGRID no muestra la proteína que se calcula como Rosetta?
Y GPUGRID no sólo se ejecuta en la CPU? Podría correr tanto GPUGRID en mi Titan y mi CPU.

Why GPUGRID does not display the protein being calculated as Rosetta?
And GPUGRID not only runs on CPU? I could run both GPUGRID on my Titan and my CPU.

Pourquoi GPUGRID n'affiche pas la protéine en cours de calcul comme Rosetta ?
Et que GPUGRID ne tourne pas uniquement sur CPU ? je pourrais faire tourner à la fois GPUGRID sur ma Titan et mes CPU.

Thank you again for your work.

Congratulations.

Lack of manpower. We don't have the resources to develop code that doesn't have a scientific return.

And GPUGRID not only runs on CPU? I could run both GPUGRID on my Titan and my CPU.

For the type of calculations we are interested even top-end CPUs barely offer the performance of low-end GPUs. Better to leave the CPUs to other BOINC projects than can make better use of them.

My 780 is switching from one WU to another (but just 2) every 2 minutes or so. Any clues?

Welcome to the world of "Access violations".

Been going on since 8.14 was released.

Seems to mostly affect 700 series cards. Something in the apps CUDA code makes it do this.

MJH is aware of the problem but hasn't been able to address it yet.

Make sure you keep at least one WU extra available for the GPU to switch over to so you aren't wasting as many cycles as you would otherwise.

It seems that 331.40 solve it!!! I install it this morning and NO CHANGES SINCE THEN!
Now i´m happy with the beast. And man.. it´s fast.

Okay, we need to alert the media or something. Installing the new beta 331.40 drivers completely solves the Access violation thingy!

Thanks Firehawk and Jacob for the heads-up!

This is awesome!

Very pleased now!

I have to say that i´m VERY pleased with the 780 now. It´s overclocking very well and crunching very fast. I was about to buy another 690, but wild hold for a 790 instead, that should do 40-50% more work.
