Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
From what I understand, the recent batch of work released is particularly long-running. If GPUGrid gets enough complaints, they might do something about the run time or bonus. Just make sure you have a core dedicated to the GPU work unit, and confirm you don't have a "power state" issue or anything like that. Your 750 Ti should be able to get them done in less than 24hrs. Try a different driver, either latest or an older one like 344.11.
I think Long Tasks without the bonus will still pay better than Short Tasks.
Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
I just started running a short one, my first GPUGrid in quite some time. It looks to finish in a little over 6 hours on my 750ti. I'm set to try a long one ofter that one finishes.
Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
My long tasks generally run a bit over 10 hours on my 980, but I've had a couple that went 18 hours so you might have just gotten a longer than normal one. my short tasks run right around 6 hours on my 760 and pay 38k, the longs pay 255k so I would stick with the longs even if you aren't getting the bonus.
Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
Well, my 460GT is doing the Longs in roughly 42 hours, and the shorts in roughly 9:15. So guess which one I've been running.. :D

Yeah, it does seem like they increased the size of the long. My gtx580 "should" be completing the longs in about 30 hours. Past times was closer to 15/16 hours. I'll try to run it again since I've updated all my drivers and boinc. I wonder what my 9600gt and my 9500gt would do with the short. I bet they would both drop dead after the first few IF they will run it at all.

I'll measure the time, and probably hit this challenge with a whopping 2 or 3 cards. I'll get a long work unit done by the end of the first day, *maybe* a second one during the project, then switch to all short to get the max points during the project time frame.
Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
Looks like a long will finish in 30 hours on a 750ti that's down clocked a bit.
Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
I just started a long run unit on a 750 Ti, it's only running about 70% GPU usage. I'm letting the factory OC do its thing, I think there is pretty low risk for error at that usage with good temps.
Re: GPUGrid: Short vs. Long
My 750ti FTW does a long in about 22 hours and a GTX 750 takes about 23.5 hours. Both are running at factory clocks.
