I just recently added a new computer to my network here to run einstein. The GPU is being seen however it is not assigning me any tasks to it. I keep getting a you don't have a Nvidia error, which yes I know I don't I even turned it off in my preferences but it still gives the error.

Anyways my vid card is an ATI All in Wonder with 512 meg of ram on it.

Anything special I need to do to get it to use the gpu as well?

Thanks
Aaron

CUDA only works on Nvidia based GPUs, not on ATI based GPUs.
ABP2 here at Einstein is also CUDA based. So it will only run on specific CUDA capable Nvidia GPUs. Not on ATIs.

Which projects do have ATI applications then? Some of them are shown in the CUDA & CAL FAQ, which also explains what is what.
