ArVee,

I left the machine to fold SMP's and won't be back till Friday. Those parameters to add sound like a good idea. It's a 680. I briefly looked at the Forum. I thought it implied some of those cards were folding and people were complaining it was "only" as productive as a 580, lol ... as if I cared about that. So that means it's got to work somehow if some people have it working. I thought I would spend the $$$ so I wouldn't have to worry and it would last a long time and even get better later if Stanford put in the coding.

BAP, I gather it just sits there and doesn't fold beyond that? And that's a new gpu? I don't know why it would be d/l'ing a 353-ptr with a FahCore_11 dating back to 8800gt and 9800gt's, either. Model of the new gpu pls.

Already though I have no idea, probably and hopefully something obvious a fresh set of eyes will see right off.

Update: ok, there's a hint in how it's (mis)identifying your gpu as type 2, species 30. Type 2's are indeed 88 and 9800's as evidenced by my older cards, while my 465's and 550ti are type 3, species 20. That's why you're getting Core _11's. I may know how to beat that problem out of it, although it'll probably still be misidentified. Add the flag -forcegpu nvidia_fermi to either your shortcut or preferably in a new install when it prompts for additional parameters. Actually BAP, you're not folding right now anyway and it's misidentified so trash it and just do the new install with the -forcegpu nvidia_fermi language when it asks for additional parameters. Gimme a -verbosity 9 while you're in there as well since we may be doing more diagnostics on this new nystery monster gpu of yours. Now BAP, this is not necessarily you, if that's a really high end card like a 680 or 690 they haven't programmed for it yet. We'll force it though if that's the case with the advanced parameters.
