Just don't know where I am gonna end up............
Geek@Play:
I am currently running the MB_6.08_CUDA_V12_noKill_FPLim2048.exe app in cunjunction with the 1.9 rebranding that runs 2 times each day. This setup works fine.

From what I understand.....and correct me if I am wrong.......
I cannot run that app right now because my friggin' Cuda card won't run on anything more current than the 182.50 drivers.......
That's why it's going back to EVGA for replacement.
The 6.6.36 Boinc is going back for replacement also........but that is another whole set of issues.

VLARkill is a matter of perspective which is one of the reasons it's debated.
It can have a positive impact on production by shifting WUs to a CPU host that can process more efficiently than a GPU that gets bogged -down by it. End result is better use of Vol resources for MORE crunching in the end. Totally valid use as long as there's sufficient project bandwidth available to handle the number of hosts using it. I think the general consensus here is the project's current bandwidth issues are related more to a convergence of several other factors and not primarily or even significantly as the result of VLARkill.
The other side of the debate is that it does benefit someone motivated by greater reward via cherry-picking.
However, while the visible symptom looks similar on the surface, in this case there's a valid medical reason. ;) (fubar stock CUDA application, since project doesn't discriminate WU distribution by processor type).
This type of WU selection is different than if it occurred in the context of normal MB crunching via CPU application.
In that case, a person wanting ONLY mid-AR WUs to optimize their credit/hr ratio & forcing greater bandwidth use so others can complete less rewarding AR WUs would be justifiably wrong!
I personally prefer rebranding as a better bandaid, BUT also accept VLARkill as a valid & acceptable (not ideal) workaround as well.

Quite right. nVidia chipset based cards should work with nVidia Drivers. These things rarely come in 'ones', so you'll likely get a revised version with obvious physical changes, or maybe even a model up. Only problem is they'll dump the entire existing stock on the market here in Oz, as per usual ::)

That's it! ... More bandaids!
