    Re: 7xxx cards.

    Well the 7xxx Cards all ran okay so far for the last 24 Hr's or so using just 1 Thread. I had to go back to 2 Threads on the MSI 7979 Card cause it wouldn't run Stable on 1 Thread, kept dropping back to 50% or so GPU Usage on 1 Thread but seems okay with 2 Thread's. The GTX 580 has been messing up for the last 6-7 Hr's though or at least I think it has anyway. It was running the Wu's in less than 20 Min's but then started taking over 1 hr. I installed the latest NVIDIA Drivers & the latest BOINC Client but it still want's to run a lot slower than it was running MSI Afterburner say's it's using 98& GPU Usage though. I haven't let one finish so I don't know if they will Validate for more Credit or get the usual 20% Credit the ATI Cards get. I was going to shut the 580 down anyway but will let it finish this GPU Wu & see about the Credit. I'll just fire up another 7970 this afternoon to more than make up for the 580 running so slow ...

    EDIT: I guess the 580 is okay, it's taking about 4 Times as long to run the Moo GPU Wu's but it's getting about 4 times the Credit too so I got Excited about nothing on the 580 ... ... I need a spare Cheap yet fairly productive NVIDIA Card so I'm thinking about a GTX 660, can get one of those for under $200, a 670 cost over $300 & I don't want to spend that much on a card ...
