Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : BOINC Client 6.6.3 after re-installing and rebooting trying to fetch work unsuccessfully

Ran into problems finally with BOINC client 6.6.3 and my GTX 260 Core 216 GPU's ran dry. After multiple attempts to get it running again and even down leveling the BOINC client, I've reinstalled 6.6.3 and rebooted. Client says its trying to request new tasks, and recognizes two idle GPUs. Says "scheduler request completed: got 0 new taks"... would that be the GPUGrid WU download problem we've seen in the past, where we see available GPU work on this site, but it doesn't get downloaded? | |

Try suspending all projects, un-suspend GPU Grid and do an update to get work. I just did that as I was ony running one task and had none in queue. Got 4 right away ... now back to my regularly scheduled running ... | |

I remember GDF said the 6.6.x clients required an update on the server side, which they have not yet done. This may be a sympton of an incompatibility. | |

As I understand it they made some changes to the request code, though it is supposed to be backwards compatible ... what I hope is that they did not create another situation like with my Power Mac where I cannot upgrade because if I do so i cannot get work from some projects because they don't recognize the new processor ID string from the 6.x versions. It will really stink if you cannot reliably get work from many projects because they farble up the messages and to run the GPUs reliably you have to give up support for many other projects ... well, time will tell ... heck, they have not made a reliable 6.6.x version yet ... :) | |
