    Does anyone else have problems with tasks erroring out? So far 2 out of 6 tasks have had errors. The application being used is "DNETC@Home v1.27 (ati14)" and I have 2x 4870's being used to crunch the tasks.

    EDIT: I am on Vista 64-bit, and my driver version is 8.01.01.961... maybe a driver update is warranted, looks like the latest drivers are 10.something... :-/

    I would start with updating the driver. I haven't had time to read through the message boards but I'll see what I can find. And thanks for helping out.

    We've moved up to #64 with 2,291,377 credits.

    Looks like it's going to be another great day for milestones.


    JohnWayne please move to the right and prepare to be passed. I'm trying to chase down Laurenu2. He can run but he can't hide.

    I have pulled over, but watch out, I may have absolutely no way to catch up.

    I have had only one problem and that was with an Nvidia card. One GPU got stuck running it's first work unit. It was there for almost 9 hours with 0% done. I aborted, updated the drivers with the exact same driver and it has been fine since.

    The odd thing I have noticed is that my ATI's take 26 and 30 minutes to complete a WU compared to my Nvidia's that take 9 minutes. Yet, my ATI's are out scoring the Nvidia's by 3 times. They must have combined multiple WU's because the ATI's are so fast.

    Run Lauren, run.


    Bok and Andy Brady bite the dust.


    Bok you suggested this project. Where are you?

    If I understand what I read, there are different WUs for different cards. There are smaller one for less capable cards that get about 1500 credits and larger ones for cards like the 5850 that get about 5000 credits.


    1,410,114 so far today. Possibly a new single project record.

    Not Realy
    PBToyz= 8,707,355 there doing 6.1 X our output
    But give me a couple weeks and we will see

    Well, still having errors - so far 5 out of about 82 WU, so right around 6% error rate. Not sure what the deal is, but at least it still continues to crunch new WU's.

    Looking at the WU's, other people are erroring out on them as well, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the WU's themselves, not necessarily my computer/video cards.

    I wonder that here are no big complains regarding credit stealing against this project as it was in the past against me.
    Is it because dnetc@home is paying much more credits?
    Or what is different or better?
    I'm a bit confused.
    yoyo

    I looked through the message boards as well. It looks like some people have problems with various models/drivers/app. version combinations but nothing specific.

    I've updated my drivers to the latest, so I'll see how it goes. I've heard some projects have issues with the newer drivers, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this project as far as I can tell.

    Onward and upward!
