My Mint BOINC system was working well for a long time before some update a few months ago which resulted in get the "No usable GPUs found" error despite about a hundred attempts at correcting. There are lot of posts online but no definitive corrections and I cannot get them back crunching.


Yeas this covers many issues. Could we start with My favourite Ageless post

Please report your event log as described, and and details of your OS and boinc versions should show in there.

The output from nvidia-smi would also help.

Edit: and welcome to the gpu forum.

3) nvidia-smi still says GPU Processes not supported for both GPU but they are crunching. Is this a problem?


I suspect you may be misunderstanding the output, it would help if you could share the output, so i'm guessing you are referring to the Column labelled "Process Name"?

If so, then man nvidia-smi indicates this is supported starting with Kepler architecture.

Good you solved the problem, often happens explaining it is 90% to a solution.

Yes this is normal - I think the Tesla and Keplar GPUs report the process name. See about Page 6
