    I'm getting only CPU WUs on my new computer, the graphics cards are idle. Scheduler returns this message, I don't know what it means:

    This is the computer in question:

    Can someone please elaborate on the problem?

    Thank you.

      You are using driver version 295.73 for your NVidia (CUDA) cards on that computer. That driver, and the one immediately following it (296.10) have a bug which was causing problems for this project, and they have blocked GPU work allocation to computers using the affected drivers.

      You would be able to get GPU work if you downgrade the driver to v290.53 (or earlier), or use a driver in the v301.xx range, currently still in Beta.

        Whelp, that solved the problem. A little RTFM goes a long way I guess. Thank you.
