So, it's hard to tell really, it depends on what driver you have installed when you run GPU-Z, or clinfo. When you run GPU-Z app and hover the cursor over where it says OpenCL it should tell you which version you have. Of course I know that. And as I said earlier, with older drivers it says the 660M is OpenCL 1.1, and with newer drivers it says OpenCL 1.2 So again, it's hard to tell really, it depends on what driver you have installed when you run GPU-Z, or clinfo [Edit 1 times, last edit by Grumpy Swede at Mar 10, 2021 1:04:15 AM] |

@Uplinger, I am aware you have several things on the go at present, curious to know if you know when you will be turning the validator on from the run on 3/5/21 and 3/721 (dates written same as in tasks sent column).

I am still curious if the Nvidia OpenCL Device Query only shows opencl 1.2 or also shows opencl 1.1 for the video cards such as the 660M. Could one of you with the 660m and the driver that reports opencl 1.2 installed run it please? Here is example (trimmed) output from my card showing both the software and device opencl versions:
----------------------------------------OpenCL SW Info: The Windows / Linux / Mac Nvidia OpenCL Device Query can be found on this page. For the Windows 64bit version, it is in the zip at NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK\OpenCL\bin\win64\Release. If you unzip it and run the oclDeviceQuery.exe it will generate oclDeviceQuery.txt with the output in the same folder. I wrote about this before. TL;DR: I think that the driver supports opencl 1.2, but the card does not.  |

TL;DR: I think that the driver supports opencl 1.2, but the card does not. Well, I'm not at the place of the 660M computer now, but I tested it on my 315M, which I know is not 1.2 capable, and I do not trust the result of this either, since it says further down in the output: CL_DEVICE_COMPUTE_CAPABILITY_NV: 1.2 But here's a trimmed down result from the 315M output, however there are fields in your output that does not exist in my output at all, such as "CL_DEVICE_OPENCL_C_VERSION". OpenCL SW Info: Also in the output this part shows up which can not be true at all for this old 315M card: CL_DEVICE_COMPUTE_CAPABILITY_NV: 1.2 The 315M came out in early 2011, and the Khronos Group didn't announce the OpenCL 1.2 specification until November 15, 2011. So the confusion continues one might say. I'll try the same with my 660M, as soon as I have access to the computer. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Grumpy Swede at Mar 10, 2021 3:19:35 PM] |

I got to my 660M faster than I thought, so here's the output for my GTX660M from oclDeviceQuery:
----------------------------------------OpenCL SW Info: And on the 660M, the field I questioned earlier for the 315M, says: CL_DEVICE_COMPUTE_CAPABILITY_NV: 3.0 . So, I guess that field is some other capability than purely OpenCL. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Grumpy Swede at Mar 10, 2021 3:50:37 PM] |

----------------------------------------Out of curiosity: Anyone ran this on a NVIDIA Quadro P400? On my laptop the WUs ran on a P600 without problems. It's the same architecture as the P400, only slightly faster...  |

Hey Speedy, I'm capturing some stats right now from the beta and collect a list of cards that have issues. Also, I have adjusted the estimated computational power needed to help with points on the next beta test. Which does not have an ETA at the moment as we are still working towards getting results back in Alpha test on them. Long story short: I plan on turning it on today. Thanks, -Uplinger |

Thanks, -Uplinger Thanks Uplinger, for keeping us updated. Just out of curiosity, what kind of GPU cards do you have in the Alpha test? How many, and what brands/types?
