What is your username on FAH? It's Prettz. Why? Checking if you were blacklisted or something, which doesn't look to be the case. Are you on wifi by any chance? Not on wifi, and I confirmed that I can still connect to get a CPU work unit, although I no longer run those. I've also tried deleting fil...

It's Prettz. Why?

My client is unable to connect to the server for GPU work units. This occurred while it was running uninterrupted for a few days, without problems, until I checked in on it last night, and saw it couldn't download a new WU and had given up. I've tried restarting FAH several times and restarting the ...

Adding an additional moderate speed GPU on a moderate speed slot with the limitations imposed by Windows will be a positive benefit, but your mileage may vary.

What limitations?

Seeing fairly wild fluctuating PPD on 11738 (0, 346, 39) on a GTX 1070 Ti. It's not pushing the GPU very hard, power and heat-wise. Jumping around between roughly 730k and 810k, which unfortunately happens to be the range of PPD I get from all of the core 21 projects. Not used to seeing fluctuations...

Updating the driver fixed it. There must have been an updated version of openCL at some point.
Also getting something like 20% higher PPD on this project than the usual.

I got this project again and the popup error is "The procedure entry point clReleaseDevice could not be located in the dynamic link library OpenCL.dll." No idea if that's helpful beyond what was in my log.

When I get this project it immediately fails a gives a popup dialog saying something about Entry Point Not Found with openCL. I didn't take down the message before the client started on a new WU. I'm on a Geforce 1060 6GB on Windows 7, and my video drivers are fairly old. Here's the log: 14:18:44:**...

It's down again. Connection is being actively refused.

I was scanning the log for errors after noticing some bizarrely low points on certain stat updates, and, although I didn't find anything causing that, I did notice some strange errors from the GPU client that have occurred several times over the past week. The GPU core says it "probably crashed...

Despite the fact that they generate double the science, I get an a7 unit extremely rarely. Maybe one every few days? Why would the system do that? Why are new projects being made on a4 if it's outdated and inferior?

Why does the client fail to get a work unit and then just refuse to try connecting again indefinitely? This happens all the time when a server goes down, your client simply stops attempting to connect *forever* until you notice it and manually screw with it til it tries again. I'm always amazed at ...

So these 43 mystery WUs I got at noon were actually missing since the Thanksgiving outage, or before that? Very weird.
It's completely thrown off the measurement I've been trying to do this week of weekly points generation without my usual pausing. :/

These servers are down again. Got another 8200 WU that can't upload.
