Hi! Today i swaped my old nvidia gtx660 to a new nvidia gtx780. They use the same nvidia driver. Now i have "gpu not found" at my wu. At "my computer" is stil the old gtx660 shown. Running a benchmark does not change to the new card. How can i refresh to the new gpu?
"no gpu found" after changing to a new graphiccard

It does not matter what the website shows, other than for diagnostic information. It is updated when ever your BOINC contacts the server (which has happened since then).
Regarding your problem: I suggest downloading the current driver from nVidia and installing this one. Your previous one might have been too old to know the GTX780. If you have already done so and it still doesn't work: which driver version are you using, exactly?
Edit: and just to be sure reboot your system once after installing the new card and its driver.

A restart of PC and Boinc
)
A restart of PC and Boinc solved the problem. Both cards, the gtx660 and the gtx780 are running with the same german nvidia driver 332.21. After first start with new card a win7 message told me that the driver was installed and working. Boinc starts with windows, showing that no gpu was found. Seems it realy needs a complete restart to make it work, even windows dont ask for a restart. Thanks for the help. Greetings from germany
