I have two computers with eligible GPU's. A 1650 and a 760. But the 760 does not seem to be getting any tasks even though i have every setting i could find turned on.

Have you set the cc_config file “ <use_all_gpus>0|1</use_all_gpus>” flag to 1? Otherwise BOINC will only use the more powerful GPU by default.

How much vram is on your 760 system? Sadly, you need a GPU with a minimum of 3 GB of VRAM to crunch MLC.

Same story with my old 750Ti card. It did crunch some tasks successfully but occasionally when VRAM usage spiked only shortly above the 2 GB threshold, the task immediately failed. I did retire this card from this project as a result of that. Hope that helps.

I believe I read somewhere that the gpu must have a Compute Capability of 3.5 or higher. GTX 760 has a compute capability of 3.0. This might be your problem. I could be wrong though.
