Is your card overclocked at all? The reference clock rate appears to be a little lower than what is reported in output.

It took a while to find overclocking settings that would work with my GTX 570 so you may want to start at reference clock speeds.

Please make sure you are setup in the GPUGrid preferences for shorter tasks only. Your successful tasks are all the shorter type. The GTX 285 is no longer recommended for longer tasks may not return results in time to get credit.

I looked at your computer and you are running the newest drivers. Have you tested the GPU configuration on other projects?

Please let us know if you get the issues resolved and how.

I do not overclock and Collatz and SETI seem to work fine. Right now I stopped running GPU Grid on this card. I am running GPUGRID on a GTX 275 and it has never had an error so I do not understand the comment that the GTX 285 is too slow.

Hi, The GTX285 is a perfectly valid card to perform any task of this project, including long.

I am working with a GTX295 = x2 GTX285 downclock, are actually longer and the task ends in 15 hours and without activating SWAN_SYNC = 0. Greetings.

It looks like now I am getting 50% erorrs on Collatz. I have deinstalled and reinstalled the latest NVIDA drivers.

Driver Version 27533, Boinc 6.12.26, Windows 7 Profesional 64 biy.

I have not done anything with SWAN_SYNC = 0. How do I check that and what do I need to do with it?

Hello: Using SWAN_SYNC=0 is to dedicate one CPU core each core GPU with what results are achieved 10 to 15% better but at the expense of strong copper CPU load, I personally do not recommend it.

It has been discussed in several threads on this website, see: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2123 and http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2553 and others.

On the other hand I see this using the GTX285 with 7% overclock, I think it's best not to push and set the nominal rate or a little less even to improve stability. Greetings.

I have heard some Windows users are using MSI Afterburner to adjust clock speeds. I don't use Windows so I can't tell you much more than that. But before you mess with clock speeds, have you looked at the temperature your GPU is running at? It was running fine before, right? Maybe it just needs to have the dust blown out of it?

It seems every summer there is always a surge in errors on hardware that was running fine. It's usually just due to dust building up over the winter.

The fan is clean and the card does not seem to hot. I reduced my GPU clock from 702 to 650 and I am still getting about 30% errors on Collatz. Once I get through the queue for Collatz I will go back to GPU grid and see how I do there at the lower clock speed.

I have the same error 0x3 message on every unit I tried this week and I am not conviced that is caused by overclocking or computer instability (this computer finished many tasks recently). Tasks are failing 5 secs after start, reporting missing or inaccessible file. Maybe is something wrong with a 275.33 nvidia driver?

Same card and same problem on my only host wich have 570 GTX and the 285.
And no O/C on the 285.

There is few weeks the system work good, but now all wu on 285 go in errors absent.

And my temp are low. its not the problem :/

This seems to be the way to go.
After some weeks of testing, my GTX 285 now runs fine with GPU and Shaders at factory-settings of 648 MHz and 1476 MHz. I only lowered the mem Frequency from 1242 MHz to 999 MHz and there seems to be no loss of speed in calculation for the rate of GPU-using is still the same.
No more compute- or validate-errors here and at Einstein@Home.
Thaks for your suggestion.

I have the same error message. All my work unit on GPUGRID, Einstein@home, Seti using my GPU are a computation error. Is your problem was solved by installing again the graphics card drivers?

Let me know.

I installed again all my graphic drivers card and I have always computation errors.

I have this kind of errors since I installed my new GTX 560TI graphic card. Before I used a 9800 GT and I don't have any problem.

Any one have a solution?
