...anxiously awaiting tasks. Anyone got any of these yet? I unchecked "use CPU" in my prefs and only want this on gpu.

Nope, nothing here either. Then again, I didn't update my drivers. I don't know if that alone would prevent it, but it might.

Ugh, yeah I hate updating drivers. I'm on 320.something. Gotta do that on one of the rigs...

Uh oh. I really hope one of my GPU's can do some work on it.
Re: Asteroids@Home: New applications for GPU released
If you have an Nvidia GPU from the 300 series or older, it will not work for these workunits. Also the GT 420 won't work.

Well, Al, it looks like you were right. I tested this on my GTX 570 that was running driver 320.xx, and no luck. My GTX 570 and GTX 560 that were running driver 331.xx immediately got work. Long work units, with very little cpu usage (.01 cpu + nVidia GPU). Estimate on my GTX 570 is 16 hours! This thing better pay HUGE to take my GPU for that long. I'll see where it's at in the morning.
I tried looking through a few other users' accounts to see if any had validated a GPU unit yet. Nothing I could find so far.
