1) Message boards : News : acemdlong application 8.14 - discussion (Message 32898) Posted 11 Sep 2013 by Ascholten Post: I don't know what happened here but all of my tasks are not running. They start run for a second or two, get a fraction of a percentile done then just stop utilizing the video card. The timer in boinc is running but no progress is being done and I can see they are not hitting the cards for any work. This just happened out of the blue that I can see, I do have the latest Nvidia drivers I loaded in a week or so ago and I don't recall any updates that might have caused any problems. I tried restarting my computer / boinc but no help. Any ideas? Thank you Aaron

It is also showing my video cards in like slots 7 and 8. I believe the should be slot 0 and 1 or is that moot? This has been going on a few days, I reset the project and aborted a few tasks thinking they were the problem to find it's ongoing. I see this is an issue that is known?? Any etr? Thank you Aaron

I am running two GTX570's on a 6 core. They seem to be taking just over an hour to run. Seen a cuda 40 come through too. Ran well. Aaron

6) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : GTX580 specifications (Message 20146) Posted 9 Jan 2011 by Ascholten Post: I had to put a new power supply in my system when I got the GTX570. That thing will take a LOT of amps just by itself when you load it up. I dont remember the numbers but I think mine was asking for 190 Watts from 0 to full processor loading on the card. If I am not mistaken the card recommends a 550 watt supply at the very minimum. Now don't forget any other stuff you have in your system, RAMdisk, multiple HDD's, a lot of ram, a 6 core processor??? all that stuff EATS power quickly. I put a 1KW supply in my computer and it keeps everything running fine, AFTER I burnt my earlier 600 watt supply up. Don't be cheap with your PS, if the thing cooks off, you could get a shot of your mains power straight up your cards backside before the fuse blows. Although it would look awesome, a GTX is a fairly expensive paperweight. Power supply manufacturers may claim that can never happen but I have a hard drive with chips blown off the board to prove otherwise. Aaron

I guess Ill have to play around with it a bit more. I have the updated drivers right off the website, is there anything else I need to do? THank you Aaron
