It's just a 4 day comp and we are more than halfway through it. We are in 10th with just 3 of us holding the line. Anyone else with a spare GPU?

[scole of TSBT]

Does gpugrid only run on geforce GPUs? I have one small one I'll get working.

[Alez]

yes, only nVidia here. Also do not try and over clock or it will fail. Run the cards cool, or it will fail. Don't even look at it sideways ... or it will fail. Get the picture ?

[scole of TSBT]

There you go. I'm crunching a whopping 31,000 every 11 hours! Getting a decent nVidia GPU is on my short list.

[Megacruncher]

Uh Oh! We've slipped into 11th.
All GPUs to the pumps guys!

[Alez]

Trying to force them over but the boinc scheduler seems to love Einstein even when I hit it over the head with a big hammer. Stupid, stupid scheduler ....

[scole of TSBT]

Alrighty then! Got me one them fancy gpugrid badges now!

[Alez]

Well it's all done and dusted and obviously we came from nowhere to stunningly take the lead. This incredible victory has cause BOINCstats server raid controller to die and hide the evidence of our victory.
Also we crunch BU and the most vociferous opponents to BU's credit regime were/are on GPUgrid forum ....Hmmm, sensing a conspiracy here.
