    Ten days since WHQL drivers release, and they don´t recognize that there is a loss of 25% cpu time while cunshing, they don´t wana change it. Unbelievable.

          ok, running 2 wus at the same time was the WRONG decision. Using now only ONE.

            On this i mean: 10% gpu gain, but 25% cpu time loss.
            not realy sure, needs more results.

              I installed 364.12 + libboinc 364.12 from the Ubuntu Nvidia repository on my 16.04.
              BOINC came up fine, recognized the 750Ti and started the tasks. Unfortunately all failed (eg. https://einsteinathome.org/task/553201527)

                  Thanks, if this would be a pure BOINC host I would have tried that.
                  This is my primary computer though, running Ubuntu for almost 10 years. I won't switch that one to Debian just for a driver :-)
