After update Boinc to v.6.4.5 that's all I got from Seti:

Even THOSE WU's that was supposed to be "finished download" and than "ready to start" they were not ready for anything else than showing as failled to download in the Boinc task bar!
And I was just trying to use the Cuda processing power from my GPU. :(
I'ts really driving me crazy! :(

I'm wondering if you were attempting to get work some time earlier today.  probably around the time Seti did its regular tuesday shutdown.   I see this happened at 2300 is that local time?

Yes, local time.

from what I've seen the CUDA users are burning through the WU's faster than they can be produced.  I'd almost bet you are just getting bumped because of them

Finally got some enhanced 6.03 wu's running Boinc 6.4.5 and AK_v8_win_SSSE3x but if I try to optimize for cuda, all I can get is the same errors as reported before.
Than I saw this so I think is better to wait till they get it running fine. Or am I doing something wrong?
None of that wu's are running yet and the question is: will Boinc (@stock) really use my GPU to crunch and how to know if it is working?

the gpu only works on the standard ap so far.  The downfall of this is that it will only run on the GPU.  For folks with multicore cpus it will idle your cpu. You shoiuld be able to run massive amounts of work on the gpu though.  Even the seti folks recommend getting on one of the alternate Projects.  Also from what I've read they look to be developing an app that will run on cpu while also using the gpu.  A few folks complained that when they updated the astropulse ap that they didnt change the name which allowed the old ap to run work and screw things up.  I have a feeling they'll make the same mistake again.

Your boinc program should note when it starts up that it found a CUDA GPU and is able to do work.  the GPU has to be version 1.1 with at least 256 mb of memory.  it's recommended that you use GPUZ to figure out if your gpu is CUDA/seti compatible

Well, after some cuda work done I can't see any benefit with my poor 8600 gt. GPU Processing Time is equal as 1 CPU running. Being that I'm going to stop CUDA. Better 2 CPUs than 1 GPU. :D
