I noticed that the Setathome_enhanced is not offering graphics now did something change or did I do something to stop that graphic ? |

If you're still using a version 5 of BOINC, and the work units are version 6, then it's possible that it's just due to an incompatibility between the two, which is as advertised. |

I Just checked i am using 6.4.5, it was rendering graphics a couple days ago, then it just stopped doing it. |

Seti_Enhanced (also called Multibeam or MB) runs on the CPU (normal, mostly app 6.03) as well as on the GPU (called CUDA, app 6.08). The normal application, 6.03, does have graphics, but the new 6.08 application does not. When it's running on the GPU, it is saturating this GPU. Anything else that you then run on the GPU, including graphics/screen saver, will slow the calculations down and increase the change for errors. So in the infinite wisdom, the Seti developers decided not to add the graphics application to 6.08, not even when it falls back to the CPU. |

Thank you for that bit of wisdom , It makes good sense, I will just let Astropulse keep on being the screen saver and let seti's have no graphics and better faster results |
