I guess everyone will need to make sure PrimeGrid is set to the back up for Cuda. This DiRT issue won't stop the push as it will effects all team equally. It will keep us from seeing how high we can get our rac.

C'est la vie.

Hmmm...and other things that come to mind.

You and me both. Looks like they are still giving out CPU WUs, though...for what it's worth, those are the highest credit pieces of BIONC your AMD hog can crunch! So, I would stay on DiRT until they are completely dry, but definitely switch those CUDA GPUs over to PG. In fact, if you set your PG to 0%, then it will automatically switch over like mine did after the DiRT CUDA WUs stop coming in...

I am confused for so long. No I am sorry maybe I am not or am I?

Filled my Caches this morning but so far almost everything is being marked Invalid after finishing successfully ... I posted in the DIRT Forum to alert them about it ... Sometimes I think this Project is more of a PITA than it's worth ...

I agree, but then I am forced to admit that PG credits have dropped off in a very significant way. What is the deal with low credits? Why can't they just throw us a bone here. . . It's all imaginative points anyway, and it's not like it's hurting anyone to foster the competitive crunching atmosphere by giving decent credits for your project!

To make a long story short the PG Project claims we are only doing half the work with the GPU's that we were doing before thus 1/2 the Credit ...

That is because they have a strange definition of the word work. According to their postings since the current search being performed by the project only produces half the number of results, they should reduce granted credit. The TRUTH is that the current search is only half as EFFICIENT as the previous one. Which by the way is not OUR fault. A farmer doesn't pay a hired hand half wages when the number of acres plowed per hour is cut in half because the rain turned everything to soggy mud.
