any ideas on what 6.07 brings us?

At least the conclusion that slower cards like my 9600GT are not supported anymore.
I got this message:

I didn't crunch much from the previous versions but I never had a problem with the WUs...

you know, it is never ever a programmers fault if something crashes..

Wow thats harsh! 9600GT isnt that slow, is it?

How bout my 9800GT? They gonna cut work from that too?

**Maybe this contains the updates for the credit issues too? could it? I really have no clue - just guessing..

it will probably be too slow to catch YETI also.

9600GTs runs fine on GPUgrid, so the problem is not the card...

There are slower cards, although not that much anymore.
I can crunch a big GPUGrid WU within a day.
Don't know why they've cutted the 9600GT, I found nothing about it. And I neither don't want to ask nor I can't post anyway there.


That one should work. I've readed a post in their forum that it does. Try for yourself.

*I used to have 2 8600's on my GPUGRID account, those would def. be cut!
I moved them over to crunch @ SETI. The WU's are smaller and easier to manage.


Do I have to manually do something to get the new app? or will it get it on its own?

Yeah, been there, tried it out too some days ago.


Nope, should work automatically like always.

Ok, good, so my 9800GT is fine. I would hope so! I can do almost 2 WU's a day, that machine should be getting about 5000 RAC through GPUGRID. Not bad for a $94 video card! haha
