Hello, think something wend wrong with my GTX 460 gpu settings.

NATHAN WU , almost about 40 minutes crunching is at 1.62 percent completion.

Will it go faster or have i to change nvidia driver settings ?

I dont know what wend wrong, can u help ?

Greetings from germany :)

Those Nathan tasks do seem to fail more than others. That one of yours has failed on a previous host so best to abort it.

I agree with skgiven, I had to low factory OC of GTX 560Ti CC2.1 a bit more (previously 900 -> 890, now 890 -> 880) and to change a little the cooling curve in MSI afterburner. Problem is with the NATHAN-CB1 series only, the NATHAN-FA series can be run on standard factory OC.

Nate is extended the running time of his workunits just like he promised.
The NATHAN_FAX3 tasks will take more than 12 hours to complete on my GTX480s.

I have a I2R35_NATHAN_FAX3 that I estimate it's going to take 31 h. Normally long units took me before around 7h. I see that the 3 means x3
I see this reasanoble. This way long units are really long.

Which also means that it is impossible for it to be returnrd within 24 hrs so these tasks are not eligible for the bonus, a bit of a backwards step. A penalty, in fact for doing the "long task". There must be a happy medium somewhere.

Just to inform. My workunit on GeForce GTX 560 Ti didn't finish yet. But it's 51% with 16h already. So it will end sometime 30-31h.

I really don't care about bonus nor credit. But they seem maybe too long with the criteria mentioned.

How much over the 12 hrs are they taking on your GTX 480's as my GTX 570 is looking close to 24 hrs

...plus the couple of hrs in the tray = no chance of returning within 24 hrs

According to the above my GTX 570 should not be far behind your GTX 480

If a GTX 570, i7 990x @ 3.88GHz system which is optimised to a large extent cannot achieve a return within 24hrs then I think too much is being asked, as I need to use 1 of my machines for other mundane things ... the unit is too long.

How does the project benefit by cutting out such a high % of hosts. Why not have a long task as posted by skgiven "Originally the Long tasks were ~2.5 times as long as the short tasks". That would allow for many more hosts to participate.
Why so long? it's gone from sublime to rediculous.

Even with your systems being as optimised as they are, you not achieving the 8-12 hrs for a long task. The unit is too long.

It's not about credit or bonus's granted, it's about being as useful to the project as my systems can be. It apparently helps the project to return wu's within 24 hrs (that is why the bonus system was introduced) so why make them so long that even a top end card without so much optimising cannot comply.

I am looking at 2 Kepler cards in the near future but is the 24 hrs going to be out of reach again. It's a bit like reaching a target and having the goalposts moved when you do, until the target is unobtainable.
There has got to be a happy medium.

Thats not counting the higher chance of failures on these wu's, to loose a task thats taken 18 hrs say compared to loosing one after 36 hrs.

I hope my comments are being viewed as constructive criticism, as this is how they are meant.

The Kepler will be released soon

It is an excessive change to make a workunit 4 times longer than the original one. I think a 3 times longer workunit would be fair enough.
