Running Seti Optimized client with cuda card.

[Mad Pierre]

Every time I try. I get nowt but errors. The CPU optimized work's but it stops the GPU client from running, mean's that i've got to deatch seti, and re-set-up. surly you can run these clients. http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;catd=9 along with cuda. For MAX points

You need to download the unified installer v2

So remove everything, uninstall whatever boinc you have and clean out the directories of all files.
Then:

• Download the latest Nvidia drivers 190.+ install em
• Download Boinc 6.6.38 then install it, not as a service
• Connect to Seti within Boinc.
• Stop Boinc
• Download the Lunatics Unified installed from the page you referenced 64 or 32bit to suit
• Install the unified client and when it gets to the end make sure you chose the optimised CPU client correctly for your system (SSE etc) and tick the CUDA box for that client.
• Still don't start Boinc
• Install the Cuda 2.3 dlls (also downloadable from the page you referenced) and copy them over the 2.2 dlls in your BOINC directory
• Start Boinc manager and make sure its all crunching well.

If it runs ok for a while (check the temps closely on your system) with no errors you are away.

Looks like it work's. Not getting many Wu's tho. last time it was getting no GPU Wu's when the opti client was on the CPU

It can take a while for the WU's to come down, especially if you have errored out on a load, seti will throttle back sending new ones out to a machine that is sending back errors. But they will come eventually.

What does your message log say? Should look something like this:

Something like that. It now starting to pump the Wu's in
