Hi, i'm new here,
the installed client successfully uses CPUs on my workstation but fails to use my Nvidia Quadro 600 GPU
I'm not sure what are the comparisons of GPU and CPU performances but i'm dedicating 3 Xeon CPU s each 3.6 GHz and i think single GPU might outperform those..

Anyway can anyone help me with configuring this GPU? In system info i can see it successfully detects my gpu

CUDA 2.1
CUDA Driver 4000

Which version of the video drivers do you have installed? You also need to have installed the OpenCL support to be able to process WU's that use Core_17 or Core_18. In addition we would need to know what OS you are using, we usually recommend following the directions in this post - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=26036 to post your log file.

According to wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Quadro
Nvidia Quadro 600 is based on the GeForce 400 series Fermi architecture, 96 Cuda cores (640 MHz core clock), DDR3 memory. On v7 client you must to dedicate one CPU core for GPU. This card will get about 4-5k PPD (max!), and reduce the performance of CPU. I think not worth it. Quadro 600 is entry level card.
