Does anyone have any idea? ID: 50847 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

(Unless the app name is different but they are the same here). A 970 easily completes 2x Long tasks in time. It's my slowest NV card. ID: 50851 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

If you have already enabled SWAN_SYNC on your linux host my initial thought would be there is no advantage to running multiple tasks. However, if you setup multiple tasks, it would be interesting to see the results. The app_config.xml file is located in the /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/www.gpugrid.net folder. If you ever want to find a file in Ubuntu, in a terminal session try the command: locate filename (filename is the file you are looking for) eg... locate app_config.xml ID: 50854 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
