SETI MB CUDA for Linux
icy-flame:
I guess my GPU just not powerful enough then. What still doesn't look right is I have one WU been going for 3 hours, only 90% progress. :(
I have an identical box (hardware and OS), running AK_V8 with boinc 6.4.5, typical WU finish in 60 minutes wall clock. But since HT is enabled (i.e. eight WU running in parallel on four physical cores), the actual CPU time is closer to 30 min each.

Yeah, I had some 8600GT's when all this Ciuda kerfuffle started, and that really brought everything to its knees, really disappointing even though I got the cards for nothing, from a friend who was throwing them out.
Because I got my 9600 GSO's really cheap (i.e. from Santa ;D), I thought that I'd try to squeeze what I could out of them. It seems while they do fairly ordinary at stock clock, they seem pretty good cranked up a bit. You might consider experimenting with 'ATITool' to determine best OC without artefacts, and see how 'RthDribl' runs in large config with Boinc suspended.
If the performance then when OC'd doesn't satisfy you, I'd say we're both hitting the limits of the wallet rather than silicon ;D
[Edit: Having said all that, driver crashes are still possible, instigating fall-back mode, but I would've thought that'd be a Windows thing for some reason.. Being a Windows man of course :D]

3 hrs per WU on a 9400GT, that is just disappointing :(
AK_V8 on my CPU can do better than that.

Maybe those wus were VLAR?

Exactly. VLAR on 9400GT would certainly be disappointing.
Also keep in mind that a stock 9400GT might disappoint overall if being compared to production from a high-end CPU, or even a mid-level one w/ lots of L2 cache and a modest over-clock. Those with Celeron's, or (older Core2 hosts w/ lower clock speeds) and small cache may actually see see 9400GT as quicker than a CPU core.
IMO, comparing 94,95 & 9600 performance to CPU is very relative to the CPU being compared, especially using "reference speed" GPU cards.
