Oh well, I won't be able to install it until later today anyway. I'm hoping to get it and the CPU client to work faster together than the current SMP client though (on my system at least).

[alsenior]

Gonna give it a go on my 8800gt when i get home

[Salazaar]

Okay, I've got a system tray client for the GPU and the CPU versions. How do I set them up so that each always runs on a seperate core (of the two I have)?

[kalniel]

Windows should do that for you. If not, go to task manager, right click on process and set cpu affinity.

[SiM]

Its doesn't work at all for me. Temps are all as idle when I run it...

if its still doing what your log says then no... its not doing anything

[09:30:54] mdrun_gpu returned -1

is your problem line. i think it means basically (from memory of the ATI proggy) that the program cant find your GPU, got the right drivers installed etc?

[SiM]

which drivers do I need? I have the latest ones from nvidia's website...

[MadduckUK]

174.55

[LuckyNV]

You need to use drivers that contains CUDA
http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html

like MadduckUK has said this is 174.55 but there are others to try too.

[Salazaar]

Woo, I got it working briefly over lunch but I'm going to let my last SMP WU finish before setting it going properly.

[LuckyNV]

actually latest Nvidia driver here
CUDA support
