It is really frustrating to see the Cuda out of work and BOINC keeps asking for ATI wu or vice versa! I talked to Slicker and he said the problem was with the scheduler.
    Updating the drivers did not work. I mentioned this in the other thread as well. Both of my cards are ATI's one is the 5970 which is I.D'd as a 5870 in Boinc and a true 5870. It will not use the gpu or the cpu I even shut down WU & FreeHal. Nothing.

    Did I miss something? Are you trying to run DiRT on an ATI card? I wasn't aware they had an ATI app.

    That's nothing a few lines of code doesn't fix. After the server goes through all the CreditNew shananigans, and then right before it writes the CreditNew value to the database, you just interject your own value.

    Re: DistRTgen: BOINC is up and running again

    I've noticed a problem since the server upgrade but I don't know if it is coincidental or a problem. I had downgraded to BOINC 6.12.34 when they had the validation problem and everything worked fine. Since the server upgrade, my 3 machines that have both ATI and Cuda cards keep asking DirT for ATI wu which of course it doesn't supply. So where the cache should hold at 100 wu it starts dropping. I don't know what happens if the cache actually runs dry but I had to detach/attach one machine that had dropped to 17 wu. It seems strange that 3 different machines would experience the same problem all of a sudden. My machine with 2 Nvidia GPUs holds at 100 wu.

    Anyone else seeing this or is it just my problem?

    I'm still using BM 6.10.58 on all my quad systems, one nVidia & one ATI each, and I'm not seeing any of that. With all the problems you guys are having with the newer BM's I'm sticking with what I have. For me POEM w/OpenCL just isn't worth all that grief.

    Re: DistRTgen: BOINC is up and running again

    I just deattached/attached and things started working correctly again. Powerblade said that he had just increased the cache size to 200 per computer. I'm wondering if maybe those 3 machines asked for Nvidia work, the project said it didn't have any, and then the BOINC scheduler screwed up and started asking for ATI wu.

    I've never had a problem with 6.12.34 so this was something new that just happened.
