I have a machine that asks for GPU WUs, but none are returned. Server status says there's 81K+ avaailable. SRBase preference has both CPU and NVidia set; no LL- DC. The machine has 2 X 4060Ti GPUs. Any clue on what I'm overlooking? (Win10, Intel CPU)

Can you check your venue? The other host is getting work but with other OS, driver and BOINC version.

In the preference section, the venue is "School". Other computers are on venue "Home".

Can you post your project_prefs section from
sched_reply_srbase.my-firewall.org_sr5.xml

Check also in BM activity section.

i'm sorry, but i don't know where the "BM activity section" resides; i didn't see it in the sched_reply... file.

(Thanks for all the help, reb!)

You can find the Activity only in BOINC manager and check if there is something not correct with GPU settings. Are you using an app_config?

Activity --> use GPU always

What cuda version is installed? cuda 13 is not supported

If nothing helps then try to update your nvidia driver.

Happy ending, reb. Updated NVIDIA drivers and BOINC version and I now receive TF WUs! (My guess - the driver. I shouldn't have had to run you around before addressing those issues first. My bad) Thanks so much!

Ok. Not so happy ending. I've determined that I have Cuda Version 13 and I don't know how to get to Cuda 12, so for now, No TF. :(

Thanks for all the help, though!
