Thanks Lazarus-uk! GTX 16 cards already work well in the beta, so yours is welcome. We'll enable your host shortly; then just allow new tasks and click Update.

i have enabled my 3 hosts and none of them download any tasks so far

Thanks Vato! Your hosts hadn't contacted the project since 12 October, so the server couldn't prepare anything for them. Now that they're back, work has started: two of them have already received their first GPU task, and the third should follow. Nothing else is needed on your side.

Already enabled and returning valid GPU results: FritzB, KetamiNO, biodoc (RTX 5080, Linux)

Just some infos:
My RTX 5080 (host 1912) is running on Win 11 :)
The GTX 1650 Ti (host 1988) is a laptop GPU.

Host 1989 shows 2x RTX 5070 Ti. In fact, there is one 5070 Ti and one 4070 Ti installed. BM is reporting it correctly but as in other projects two 5070 Ti are shown.

I'm running out of Betas. Do you detach any hosts, if they are no longer needed for testing?

Thanks FritzB, that's very helpful! To clarify our list: "RTX 5080, Linux" was biodoc's card; we know yours runs on Windows 11. Thanks also for the details on the laptop 1650 Ti and on host 1989: BOINC often shows two identical cards when a PC mixes models, so knowing it is really a 4070 Ti plus a 5070 Ti helps us. You're right that some of your hosts ran short of beta tasks this morning; they have been refilled since. And no, we don't detach anyone: your hosts can simply keep running Eternity, CPU or GPU, whatever suits you.

Thanks taurec, welcome aboard! We'll enable your Linux host with the RTX 3060 Ti shortly and let you know here. When it's done, just allow new tasks and click Update in BOINC; no CUDA installation or reset is needed.

a few hundred tickets, plus several minutes of fixed start-up, so per hour they pay badly.

We don't do this for credits. We do for honour and fame ;D

Ha, the best reason of all! 😄 Honour and fame it is, and maybe the first 467 on the board.

Hi!
I have not received any Gpu units since the problems this night and morning!
Is there a problem making Gpu wus for everybody?

Has my computers been authorized for GPU tasks? I too have not been getting any tasks since I requested tasks.

If other tests would be useful, I have an RTX 5070 laptop (8GB) and a "real" RTX 5080 (16GB).
Machines 180 et 250.

Sorry Werinbert, your request from this morning slipped through between two of my replies. Your RTX 5060 (host 30) and RTX 4060 Ti (host 31) are now enabled for the GPU beta, and a first GPU task is already being prepared for the 4060 Ti. Just keep new tasks allowed and click Update; no CUDA installation or reset is needed.

Thanks Hans, you're right. GPU work supply was disrupted last night and this morning, and it's been catching up since. Your 3080 Ti host (165) received two new GPU tasks this evening. Your 4080 host (166) hasn't got any yet; we're looking into it.

Thanks Phil, both are very welcome! Host 180 (RTX 5080) and host 250 (RTX 5070 Laptop) are now enabled for the GPU beta, and both have already started their first GPU tasks. Let us know how they run!

I'm not getting any new workunits. Could you have a look pls.

Thank You, I have been out all day, just saw the 3080TI had got 2 wus !
I'm about to check if the 4080 has something to crunch!
Nope, tried to update several times but still no new work units,I'll keep on trying 🤔👍

In reply to mmonnin's message of 21 Oct 2026:

Then GPUs are not worth running the small tasks. Power wise a CPU will be better.

Also why do the beta CPU tasks have a 2 hour deadline? It interrupts anything else that is running

I am now seeing the GPU tasks grab 6 CPU cores... this is an awful lot of cpu to support a single gpu task. So I am in agreement that the gpu tasks don't seem worth running. Can you not just claim 1 core and let Boinc decide on actual need?
