Do you have a <use_all_gpus> tag in cc_config.xml? MarkJ |

This is how I have it setup <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> |

Where did you save it to? What did you make it with? Did you save it with ANSI encoding? Did you make sure the extension of the file is just .XML, not that it has the (by default by Windows hidden extension) .TXT extension as well? |

It doesn’t say it’s using all GPU’s so it didn’t like it. Recheck each point Jord has mentioned. Also current version of BOINC for Windows is 7.16.7 I would upgrade to the latest version otherwise you might have issues connecting to certain projects. MarkJ |

I'm more worried by 8/2/2020 12:02:30 PM | | [coproc] No NVIDIA library foundThis could be our old friend 'Microsoft supplies incomplete drivers with Windows 10'. Yes, do check the placement and name of your cc_config.xml file - it should be listed as an 'XML file' in File Explorer, whatever name you see. 'Text Document' would indicate a problem. But some GPU projects require CUDA drivers, not just OpenCL. If you have a problem with getting work from a project you know supports NVidia cards under Windows, you may need to download a new driver direct from nvidia.com |

If you have a problem with getting work from a project you know supports NVidia cards under Windows, you may need to download a new driver direct from nvidia.com His cards are listed as AMD Radeon so he won’t be doing any CUDA work. It should say Config: Use all GPU’s in the log if it found it. MarkJ |

But some GPU projects require CUDA drivers, not just OpenCL.Psst, he has two AMD cards. They don't do CUDA. :-) I would at this time remove the cc_config.xml file and start over. Open Notepad. Copy the following lines: <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config>And paste these into Notepad. Then do File->Save As... Type the name cc_config.xml Press on the "Text Documents" bar and choose "All Files (*.*)" from the drop down option. Make sure that Encoding is ANSI And Save this file to C:\Programdata\BOINC\ Next exit BOINC (Manager) and restart it in the normal way. Do make sure you stop running processes on exiting BOINC Manager. If the above doesn't do it, then I don't know. |

Also current version of BOINC for Windows is 7.16.7 I would upgrade to the latest version otherwise you might have issues connecting to certain projects.Current BOINC still has the lack of default log flags bug though, and some other irritations. As far as I know, 7.10.2 is the minimum version people would need to not have trouble with the certificates. Some of the projects have a workaround at the server level. |
