ok no prob. trial and error works well :)  seems 0.14 was a huge improvement but still gave a few so i moved it to 0.15 and that seems to do it so far. it will probably give the cpu a couple that the gpu could be happy with but.....

sunu:
If you have a high output machine, even with 3 gpus like I do, the script isn't much useful. VLARS can be so many that the CPU won't be able to do them in time so you'll have to abort (at least some of) them anyway. I tried to use it for a week and my CPU's cache kept growing and growing out of proportions.

So I just do a search for AR 0.19 or lower and abort them. I don't leave them to error out with VLAR-kill so I can differentiate them in my error tasks page, VLARs (aborted) and true errors that need attention.

riofl:
interesting... i probably wont care much once i replace this tesla. it locks solid on vlars but works ok on the rest. i was waiting for the gtx 295 to go down but it seems to have increased in price instead.

sunu:
All cards suffer from VLARs, it is the software not the hardware at fault.

As for GTX295s, their price may have gone up because of their reduced production numbers. Still they are cheaper than when I bought mine last July-August.

riofl:
yeah. ill probably just bite the bullet and get one.

vlars kill the tesla. it locks up hard and i have to stop and restart boinc to clear it and sometimes i have to actually power the machine down to clear it.. i think it has a memory issue because i keep getting xvrm or some such in the logs always pointing to it and to the same locations every time.
the gpl gpumemtest i downloaded also locks up on it at the same spot. it is clearly defective. however it seems to behave nicely if it doesnt have long angles to deal with. i at first thought it was a messed up thermal pad on one of the ram chips so i replaced everything  on the chips with some VERY expensive fiberglass web pads and some shin-etsu thermal compound for the gpu and it still misbehaves. its a first design issue engineering model so i am not afraid to retire it or put it into a machine that i dont care much about.
