I started a Gpugrid project two days ago but Boinc's Gpugrid Cpu time counter is 08.49 now and still 23%... My Gpu card is 9600... My operation system is Windows XP client is 6.6.15...

Please help me... I can not finish my project on time. :(

Your card shows up as a 9400GT. If this is true, then the card will take about 4 days to finish most units (and will go over the 4-day deadline sometimes). Since you have a dual-core machine, you will download 2 workunits at a time. This means that you will always need to abort the second unit since it will never be finished with the 4-day deadline.

The 9400GT is not suiteable for GPU-Grid, so you're much better off trying it at seti@home. You got a 2nd machine though, which indeed has a 9600GT. That one should finish a WU in about 1 day. At what clock speeds is it running? GPU-Z is a small utility which can read that out.

Thanks for reply...

You're right. My 9400's System doesn't good for GpuGrid Projects.
But my 9600's system is good... But still slow...

How can I change my Nvidia Card's clock settings?

Thanks for reply again.

Check them before you change them.

The clock on the 9600 is already OC with shader clock reported at 1750. see here.

For that workunit (one of the longer 37xx credit ones), your time is just under 24 hours. This is a good time for a 9600. The shorter 24xx credit units should run in just under 20 hours while the new longer 42xx credit units will take somewhere between 24 and 30 hours. You could try risking upping the shader clock, but the gains will be modest with clocks that could possibly still be stable.
