Deadline problem with GPU

Post by M0CZY »

My Nvidia GeForce GT 610 keeps downloading work units like Project 9201, which it will take 4.76 days to finish.
The problem I have is that the final deadline is only 3.4 days, so I can't finish it in the time allowed.

I would love to continue using my GPU for this project, if only I could get work units with a longer deadline.
I am using the console-only standalone client 7.4.4.

Currently the only way to limit your system to getting WU's from projects with longer deadlines is to use the version 6.41 GPU client. That will download only projects using the older Core_15. These projects have fairly long deadlines and should be processable by your low end card. From other posts here, the 610 is not capable of finishing current Core_17 or 18 projects within their deadlines.

Well it seems I have a similar problem. Where exactly can the 6.41 GPU client be found?

That's no longer the only option. See viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14714&p=273584#p273584
