Got a 9201 on my 680 but none on my two 970s. All Windows rigs. Something have changed.

I've pretty much assumed it's an AS issue, bruce's post here (albeit on a slightly different matter) made that the most likely explanation. And as you say- P9201 WUs are being processed; I could see that from the changing WU count on serverstats (when it wasn't giving a blank entry), along with the fact that my Kepler got one.

But thank you for the update.

As I burn through these WU's in less than 3 hrs, I would pinpoint the start of this incompatibility to be around 4PM Pacific on January 12th. I noticed 2 of 4 idle cards at approx 6:30 PM Pacific and I check these rigs every few hours when I am at home.

Interestingly - my 750Ti seems to be pretty reliable in getting work while my 980 hasn't gotten anything recently.

yep... seeing the same thing... My Linux box with a GTX 670 is getting Core 17's. My Windows box with an AMD HD7870XT is getting Core 17's but my Windows box with a GTX 970 is not.

Looks to me that something is wrong with the assignment server, the work server or an intentional change by PG that has not been communicated. Or... 2 of my 3 GPU folding boxes just got lucky - again and again - over the past 2 days.

I can say the same. My 750 ti, 780 ti, AMD 290X, AMD 295x2 is getting 9201 now and then, but all my GTX 970 only get Core 15 using Windows. Others on my Team using Linux is not getting anything on their 9xx cards.

My 2 cents is on the AS server.

My 2 GTX 970's and GTX 980 all on Windows 7 have been only getting Core15 for the last ~30 hours including a P8018 this morning.

My HFM log confirms that.

The 980 picked up a P9201 at 23:13 UTC on 12th, completed it at 01:38 UTC on 13th and failed to get a new one.

Not sure if this is relevant, but looking back through the client log I've recently been getting this maybe 20% of the time:

ie the primary AS fails to find a WS but the backup succeeds.

My 970 in Linux is also waiting on the AS and has been for a while now. It's definitely the AS, I deleted the slot and readded it, with no change.

Sure the that PG are back for the new year?

Last 24 hours on 3x of GTX 970 get only jobs on core 15, what happened? Where are jobs on core 17 or 18?
Assignment Server: 171.67.108.200
Work Server: 171.64.64.105
Collection Server: 171.65.103.160

Okay, so I have confirmed that the issue is that the AS constraints have not been updated to accept 970/980 work requests so all these cards are blocked from receiving work at the moment. This should be resolved shortly.

My 980 has just got a P9201, wahaay!!!

Are we back in business?
