You do have a Cuda app in your app_info?, as Boinc 6.10.18 will still ask for GPU work even if you don't have a Cuda app referenced,
as all your optimised results are CPU results,
Go grab the 64bit installer and the Cuda 2.3 DLL's,
Shut Boinc down, install the SSSE3x or SSE4.1 (SSSE3x better on a Quad, SSE4.1 maybe better on a Dual Core),
make sure you also select the Astropulse_v505 app and the Cuda V12 app,
when that's done over-write the Cuda dll's in your Setiathome project folder with the new Cuda 2.3 dll's, then restart Boinc,
touch wood you won't loose any CPU work.
Edit: you're got a lot of lost 6.03/6.09 work, so it might be better if you go to your Seti project preferences, select the following to No:

Use CPU
(enforced by 6.10+ clients) yes
Use NVIDIA GPU if present
(enforced by 6.10+ clients) yes

Click update, Now Detach and Reattach (you won't be sent any 6.03 or 6.09 work, so you can't loose it in the next step),
then install the apps with the installer, and the dll's, reset your Seti preferences to yes, then click update, and hopefully you'll get work.

Edit: If you get Astropulse_v505 wu's, it'll help keep the wu count down a bit, and probably help Boinc's performance with lots of wu's.

Hi, I followed the above instructions when I added my 3rd GPU card but my Boinc still only sees 2 cuda cards. Windows and GPUZ and nvidia control panel all see a GTX 285, GTX 275 and the GTX 260 I just added but boinc only sees

Can't get it to see the GTX 260....

Do you have the cc_config set to use all GPU's?

Code: [Select]

<cc_config>
    <options>
        <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
    </options>
</cc_config>

[hiamps]

Yep, I have 2 working just can't get the 3rd even got a new 1250 Watt PS today. Here is my cc_config...

<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
</options>
</cc_config>

Dummy plug, screen extended?

[hiamps]

Thanks, I had forgotten about that....Guess I need to run to Radio Shack real quick.....

[arkayn]

Worst part is I only have 1 video card in each of my 2 machines and they are ATI's.

I am thinking up these things from memory.

[hiamps]

Well one more thing....Do I just turn off my computer and put a dummy plug on the 2 GPU's not used and they will be seen or are there any other settings like use screen on all monitors or something?

[arkayn]

I think you need the plugs on, then extend the screen to all three cards.

If I remember that correctly.

[hiamps]

Cool I have 2 dummy plugs made will give it a try in a bit and let you know, now that I think about it I had 2 monitors when I originally set this up to run 2.

[glennaxl]

on my setup:
Rig1:
GPU1 = monitor
GPU2 = PhysX
GPU3 = dummy plug (monitor extended)

Rig2:
GPU1 = DVI connector
GPU2 = PhysX
GPU3 = VGA connector from the same monitor

[hiamps]

Yea, it worked, I monitor and 2 dummy plugs!

When i last looked, TouchuvGrey's computer was only displaying one GPU, when he had two earlier,
so he might need a dummy plug too,
I also thought his GTS 250 tasks were a tadge slow compared to my 9800GTX+, i wonder if the Cuda 2.3 dll's got installed?

    i was wondering about the GTS 220 card not showing also but have been
otherwise occupied the last few days. Sometimes after a cold boot the 220 card
shows and the computer stops responding. As far as i can tell the 2.3 dll's have
installed though it took me a while to get that done.

   What is a dummy plug ? where do i get one and how do i install it ?

[Claggy]

Just Google 'Dummy Plug', the first couple of links should have pictures.
