    Ah, wouldn't ya know it. The very moment I get the opti-app installed, and the command line edited, it downloads 1 WU, then says "project shut down for maintenance"!
    Well, that's just life. Guess it's back to DNETC for now and I'll just have to wait to see how much difference that opti app makes.

    Update it now - seems to be working.

    Re: MW with Dual GPUs - need Opti app still?

    Not sure what I did wrong. No I've got lots of WUs coming in, but it only runs them 1 at a time. The one WU it does crunch finishes pretty fast, though - 1:31 to complete.
    Here's a copy of my app_info. HELP?

    <app_info>

    Re: MW with Dual GPUs - need Opti app still?

    Change count to .5 for 2 wu and .33 for 3 wu? Intuitively obvious right?

    PS change it in both locations!

    Re: MW with Dual GPUs - need Opti app still?

    You are the man as always, Bryan! Thanks. Looks like I went backward (2 instead of .5) Anyway, I've got them set at .33 now, so 6 crunching at a time. I'll have to go suspend a couple in a min to get them off sync. Here's what the app.info looks like now; do you see anything else I should modify or is it all peachy?

    <app_info>
    <app>
    <name>milkyway</name>

    </file_info>

    Re: MW with Dual GPUs - need Opti app still?

    Is there much benefit to doing .33 and having 6 wus at a time compared to .5 and having 4 going? For some reason I must have screwed something up and it was crunching 5 at a time...but I had it set for 6, which it was doing when I left.
    I lowered it back to .5 in the app.info right now, just in case...crunching away 4 at a time now.
