I'm guessing this fix is for AMD gpus from the apparent model numbers in the subject line?

Who is this fix directly applicable to?

So if your card fails, then what?

Post your model and if it is failing at the end or running successful.

Can someone test a 9070? The rest looks good so far.

yes, for AMD cards.

I'm guessing that since I have an Nvidia GPU, I need not worry about it. However, I run either Linux, and/or Windows, but I prefer Linux! :-)

Please let us know when this fix goes live so we can add our GPUs to the project.

Thanks for the fix! My RX6600XT is running both the shorter and longer WUs without problem. The progress % goes to 100% very quickly but the WUs are completed and validated.

I have also problem on my RX6600 with the progress bar. It becomes 100% after few minutes and stays there until the WU is finished or if I restart the BOINC manager before the WU is finished the progress bar starts again from 0% and becomes 100% after few minutes again regardless of the real progress of the WU shown in the stderr.txt

We are using the option "exact fraction done" but for TF it is mostly not working. However you can always check the progress in your stderr.txt or compare your runtime of your last task.

The 100% slight progress glitch seems to now be fixed. Thanks!

Then it is the new app where old results datas will not be overtaken from older version and starting from 0. After some results are reported back, the server will recalculate the runtime with your FLOPs value.
