Hi,
I have installed Boinc 7.0.64 on W8 32 bit (not protected PAE/service), yet does not recognise GPU, see log extract below.
Any ideas?

Did you install the Tesla drivers from Nvidia? If not, do so first. The drivers that Windows installs lack the necessary CUDA and OpenCL parts that BOINC needs to see the GPU.
