No problems to report. Other than all Cuda tasks are marked as 6.08....no 6.10.
But the new card is crunching away with the existing GTX295.

Looks like a winner here.

So now the kitties are feeling kinda Fermi...............

As far as the S@H servers are considered, it's just "SETI@home Enhanced (anonymous platform, nvidia GPU)", the version number doesn't matter at all. It would be possible to do a conversion to 6.66, and maybe that would be interesting to some. That would make the installer larger and more complex though, since it would need to modify all existing assignments in client_state.xml.

If you put <flops> in the app_info.xml, probably a slightly higher setting for the 610 version would make the servers favor that. They do try to use whatever they consider the "best" in terms of productivity. When we figure out a practical method for the installer to set <flops> perhaps it would be best to do something like that so everybody using x32f will be getting the same version on new work, it could make future upgrades easier.

I'll just leave it as is, as long as it's just the nomenclature and is not affecting anything else.
The only other side effect I noticed this afternoon is the Seti servers complaining that I don't have a usable version of Seti@home enhanced in my app info file.
But I am assuming that's just another bogus Boinc error message.

perryjay:
I'm jealous, it never gave me a nifty message like that!   ;D

msattler:
LOL...nifty as long as it's just Boinc blowing smoke.
Which is not all that unusual.

msattler:
Odd thing though....
The new GTX465 is slower than my GTX295, even though core, shader, and memory clocks are all significantly higher on the 465.
