DistrRTgen is still not reliable at giving out GPU work.

Here is a current thread about it:

Well, that's me oot of DistrRTgen WU's on my 7970. My 580 still has a bit of work left.

The project shows no sign of creating no new work at the moment Sad

I would check your project settings:

http://boinc.freerainbowtables.com/distrrtgen/prefs.php?subset=project

Check allow GPU and allow test applications (will do no harm and is needed for ati cards).

With your [3] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti you should do some really nice amount of work and speed up the rankings!

If that dosn't work, suspend all your projects, reset DistrRTgen and see if you get work.

Unfortunately computer in question is at home and I'm in the middle of the Norwegian sea at the mo. Wish I had 3 GTX660TI's but boinc only reports the best card on you're system.
Currently it's a GTX660ti , a GTX650 and a GTX610 which is used for seti,milkyway and the kids minecraft as it struggles with all else. Mind you it's a zotec pmci version so it's filling a slot that otherwise couldn't be used so free credits as far as i'm concerned.
If it doesn't download some soonish I will simple set it back to collatz and gpugrid, until milkyway challenge that is. Think I might set all 3 on that and let it run for a week.

Just managed to crack 3/4 million for the first time ever headbang

DistRTgen definitely seems to be where the GPU action is at the mo. thumbup

Seems the new DistRTgen units are nearly 2.5 x longer but only get @50% more credit, and they sent my scheduler crazy claiming they wouldn't finish in time !!!
