I have an Acer 8920G with a 9500M GS Nvidia GPU in it. The only drivers for it are from ACER (old as) and the latest mobile driver 179.48 from Nvidia. The desktop ones wont install. From the messages tab, BOINC 6.6.17 recognises it as a CUDA device. CUDA device: GeForce 9500M GS (driver version 17948, CUDA version 1.1, 512MB, est. 11GFLOPS) But as yet no CUDA WUs (its prefs are set for CUDA and it works on the two desktops) Has anyone found a way to get CUDA up and running on a Nvidia GPU laptop ? Cheers in advance ID: 881853 ·

Cheers in advance Hi, What app info file are you using? Since you seem to be using Boinc 6.6.17, is it the one described in app_info for AP500, AP503, MB603 and MB608? I see you are still using an AK MB opti app, and if it's just the standard app info file, it's keeping you from getting CUDA tasks. ID: 881859 ·
