Don't worry, the estimation will normalize after a couple of completed workuntis. | |

(Sorry for not creating a new thread about this.) notepad c:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.gpugrid.net\app_config.xml Press Windows key + R, then paste and press [enter].If you see an empty file then copy & paste the following text: <app_config>
<app>
<name>acemdlong</name>
<fraction_done_exact/>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>acemdshort</name>
<fraction_done_exact/>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>acemdbeta</name>
<fraction_done_exact/>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config> This app_config.xml is for running two GPUGrid tasks on each GPU simultaneously (recommended for fast GPUs on Windows Vista or newer), if you want to run only 1 per GPU (recommended for Windows XP, or slow GPUs) you should change the <gpu_usage> to 1.0 in all 3 applications like this: <gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage> If you already have an app_config.xml, then you should only insert the line <fraction_done_exact/> after each line containing the name of the application.Click file -> save and click [save]. Open the BOINC manager, click Options -> read config files. | |

On Windows XP the default location of the BOINC data directory is different, so on Windows XP you should use the following command to edit/create the app_config.xml: notepad "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\projects\www.gpugrid.net\app_config.xml" | |
