    Since the requirement is 8gb, and the VII has 16gb, I decided to try running two at a time. Seems to work just fine, and the run times are no longer. Sweet!

    Same. Although it would be nice if yoyo updated their website so that it showed wall time in addition to CPU time. I guess it wasn't an issue when they had only CPU tasks.

    Very cool. I will check it out after the PG challenge.

    Turns out that running 2 at a time causes instability with the machine. Random reboots. Also, CPU tasks on PG were erroring out. I switched back to running just one task at a time. That seems to remove it. Time will tell. I'll check again in the morning.

    Well, now I can't get it work at all. I tried running just one task at a time. I tried both my VII and my RX 580. The driver keeps locking up and that in turn causes my PG CPU tasks to error. I thought this was going to be a way to accelerate my way to 50m at yoyo, but I guess not. Ah well.

    Turns out that the problem was not with the app or the GPU, it was the host system. Problems with the CPU/mobo/DIMMs. Running memtest now to help root cause the issue.

    I moved the VII to a different machine. Running 2x tasks at a time now. Currently at 36M, and I plan to run until at least 50M. Looks like it will take a few days for the pending tasks to level out, and then I can see what a daily rate will look like. I am guessing somewhere around 300k.
