Topic 194649

No new tasks have been sent to this computer in the past several days. Instead I get the following msgs:

Message from server: No work sent
Message from server: NVIDIA display driver 19038 or later needed

My Gtx260 works just fine with whatever Seti tasks that are sent, no red texted msgs or complaints. The new is still wearing off this card so the driver for it should be current.

My quandary is that I can't decide whether E@H just doesn't have work for the pc;s cpu, or has work for the gpu and doesn't like my graphics setup, or is just relaying me an erroneous msg. Perhaps someone could shed some light?

We have finally begun to automatically deliver CUDA work & applications (plan class "ABP1cuda23") to machines that satisfy the following requirements:

- enabled NVIDIA GPU work in Einstein@home preferences
- NVidia GPU with at least 450MB of free memory
- Display Driver version 190.38 (&up), i.e. CUDA 2.3 capability
- BOINC Core Client version 6.10 (&up)

CUDA Beta App testers should drain their work cache and switch back to the normal project work.


According to the contact log with your computer, you are using NVIDIA driver version 186.18, which just isn't enough. You will need to go to Nvidia's driver download page and get newer drivers if you want to continue using your GPU at Einstein.

Besides, BOINC 6.10.18 needs a minimum driver version of 185.85 to work correctly.
