I've noticed that work units seem to be running somewhat longer compared to say a month or so ago. My 750TI cards now are taking 26 to 30 hours to complete -- back in March these ran 20 to 23 hours. No change in the credit scheme. I'm wondering if others have noticed this as well. |

Think there may have been another thread about this somewhere. In short, they are much longer but have, on average, more credit. |

I thought I'd seen something about that. I noticed in part because with the longer run time, the 30K bonus for completed tasks in 24 hours is just out of reach for my 750 TI cards. |

I thought I'd seen something about that. You could reduce your work buffer to 0.00 so you don't have them sitting on your machine for hours. BOINC Manager >TOOLS >Computing Preferences >Network Usage. Then you could try slowly overclocking. |

My GTX 650 Ti cards will now likely process only short tasks as the run time has gone over 34h for some long ones. I recently found two used GTX 650 Ti cards, one of which is installed, the other will follow. Long runs take about 18.5h with a GTX 660 Ti. |

Correction: recently found two used GTX 660 Ti cards, one of which is installed, the other will follow. |

From what I've read, the GTX 750ti might sustain overclocking of perhaps 5 to 10 per cent -- I figure I'll pass on that. |
