Hello Benjamin, are other GPU then the named allowed? When, then: -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti; 4.00 GB RAM; Driver: 58278; OpenCL: 3.0 on Win10pro, ID 701; - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti; 7.74 GB RAM; Driver: 55099; OpenCL: 3.0 on Linux, ID 703. Will they go? Greets, vonboedefeldt. |

@Freewill: thanks for correcting me, and sorry, I assumed MPS wrongly. So the spread comes only from what's inside each batch: some contain many more deep endgames than others, and those take much longer to compute, while the credit is the same because the ticket count is the same. Over many tasks it evens out. @vonboedefeldt: yes, both work, and both are now enabled! On our side the IDs are the other way round: host 701 is the Linux RTX 4060 Ti and host 703 the Windows GTX 1050 Ti (older cards like the 1050 Ti use our separate version for older GPUs). Just keep new tasks allowed and click Update in BOINC; no CUDA installation or reset is needed. |

In reply to Werinbert's message of 22 Oct 2026: Yet another task is gone downhill... Thanks Werinbert. This is an exceptional case: your task has 659 tickets left, just above our 1% cut (655 tickets), so it's grinding through a few very hard tickets before it can hand the rest over to CPU tasks. It only needs 4 more tickets to reach that point, so it should finish shortly. It happens rarely, but it can happen. Please let it run, no need to abort it. |

V100 is crunching away. It uses about 200 watts on the GPU out of a maximum of 300 watts. |

Excuse me, please, 3 days with 12 hours work. By the way, will that work too? AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS with Radeon Graphics [Family 25 Model 68 Stepping 1] (12 cores) , ID: 1872 Is seldom on the run, but is. |

Excuse me, please, 3 days with 12 hours work. I withdraw my question: AMD! But will there be such? |

@BorgProcessor: great to hear, thanks! Your V100 has already completed 8 validated GPU tasks, about 1.5 to 3 hours each for the current size, roughly on par with the TITAN V, which uses the same chip, despite only 4 CPU threads on that machine. Around 200 W out of 300 is expected: part of the work, the deep endgames, runs on the CPU, so the card isn't always at full power. We'll add the Tesla V100 to the list of validated cards. @vonboedefeldt: no need to apologise! Both your cards are running well: the RTX 4060 Ti (host 701) has already completed 7 validated GPU tasks, and the GTX 1050 Ti (host 703) started its first ones this morning. About AMD: yes, it's planned. But validating the NVIDIA version is already a huge amount of work, and we've validated more than 40 cards so far, checking every result against the CPU app. So AMD will come later, once the NVIDIA side is fully stable. In the meantime, that Ryzen can of course keep helping with CPU tasks. |

I will pause testing for the weekend. There is a Formula Boinc Sprint which needs my attention. |

Top, better a stable one than instable two! |

@fzs600: thanks for joining! Your RTX 3070 Ti Laptop host is now enabled for the GPU beta. Just keep new tasks allowed and click Update in BOINC; no CUDA installation or reset is needed. @FritzB: no problem at all, enjoy the sprint and good luck! Your hosts will simply pick up GPU work again whenever you switch back. @vonboedefeldt: exactly, thanks! |

all 3 hosts completed and validated ok, despite a power cut in the middle on my windows host - so that's nice confirmation that checkpointing works. I will set them all up to do another batch once they've finished some work in progress elsewhere. thanks |

Both of my hosts are successfully processing and validating with no issues. |

Thanks everyone for the great feedback! @Vato, @owensse, @franky82: great to see all your hosts validating, thanks for reporting! Vato, nice to have real proof that checkpointing survives a power cut. @BorgProcessor: thank you, that's very kind! @taurec: your RTX 5060 Ti (host 203) is now enabled and has already validated its first two GPU tasks! @ioannis: thanks for joining! Your RTX 5070 (host 664) is now enabled; just keep new tasks allowed and click Update. Your GTX 1080 (host 2012) uses our version for older cards, which we're opening up step by step: it will follow shortly, and we'll confirm here. @Aurum: welcome! Your RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 2070 SUPER hosts are now enabled and already running their first GPU tasks. Your GTX 1070 and two GTX 1080 Ti use our version for older cards, which we're opening up step by step: they'll follow shortly, and we'll confirm here. |

Version for older cards: Where are the points? Within the "pilot"-wus chapter? |
