I'm running an 8800GTS 512 and an 8800GT 512 on a GA-X48-DQ6 motherboard both G92 as you can see and GPUGRID refuses to do any work.


Anyone know whats going or have any tips to get this going?

Are you getting any work, it doesn't look like it. Do you have to use the GPU Checked in your Account Resource Preferences ???

Nope, I'm getting these messages:
11/10/2009 7:30:26 PM|GPUGRID|Message from server: No work sent
11/10/2009 7:31:36 PM|GPUGRID|Message from server: Your computer has no NVIDIA GPU


I do not see "Account Resource Preferences" nor do I see any option to selct a GPU.

Alright I got it, I thought you were referring to an option in the BOINC client.

Yes all GPU related options are selected, still nothing...

I had this same problem with a notebook running Vista, NVIDIA 8800M GTS video and BOINC 6.10.17. I deleted the driver via device manager (uninstall and delete) and upgraded to BOINC 6.10.18. Because I did them both at the same time I am not sure which one actually fixed it. I suspect it was the BOINC client as the NVIDIA system info identified the GPU as being present prior to the changes in driver and BOINC client.

Ditto.

I un-installed BOINC and re-installed it after having installed nvidia gpu drivers.

BOINC picked it up straight away after that :)
