I have 3 Folding Rigs that run 7/24 All 3 Rigs are used Only to Fold.

I have 3 x GTX 680 GPU Rig, What should I set (client-type=xxx) to receive Core 17
I have 3 x GTX 690 GPU Rig, What should I set (client-type=xxx) to receive Core 17
I have 3 x GTX 780 GPU Rig, What should I set (client-type=xxx) to receive Core 17
I have received Only Core 15 for weeks now.
Thank you,

2x GTX780 Ti's (GK110) and 3x GTX660 Ti's (GK104) on Windows folding 24/7 with client-type=normal.

The last 24 hours I'm getting only Core15 WUs on all my GPUs, was getting P762x/P7660 WUs and since the last 2 hours getting P8018 WUs on both my GTX780 Ti's and one of my GTX660 Ti's (my other two GTX660 Ti's will finish their P762x WUs in about 2 hours).

The question is what setting you are using. In theory you should be getting Core_17 WU's on any client-type setting. The AS should be sending Maxwell based GPU's to Core_15 work assignments since Core_17 is not currently working on those. The AS tweaks are apparently supposed to make it more likely that a Kepler based GPU will get Core_17 and Fermi cards will get Core_15, but it is not a guaranty and not based on your settings.

the above is the same for all 3 computers

Is this ok?

"The question is what setting you are using." This is NOT MY Question But I will answer yours. I have tried none advanced and beta
I asked the question what Should I set my cards to and you replay with the same question to me.

My Question is:

I have 3 Folding Rigs that run 7/24 All 3 Rigs are used Only to Fold.

I have 3 x GTX 680 GPU Rig, What should I set (client-type=xxx) to receive Core 17

I have 3 x GTX 780 GPU Rig, What should I set (client-type=xxx) to receive Core 17

There is no known client setting that will fix this issue (yet). AFAICT, PG are trying to collate information about the settings that are still not working as they intend. Once that is determined, they MAY be able to adjust the server settings so that Kepler cards get more Core_17 units.

After a bit more fooling around it really seems to me that keplers cards with the adv or beta flag are getting sent to project 8018 very consistantly even with new beta projects out.(and as we all know pretty much everyone and there dogs switched to beta when 8900 first came out trying to get that QRB) I can fire up an old fermi card i don't usually fold with anymore on beta and it gets a beta unit no problem but the 2 keplers i have go to 8018 with beta or adv. Set the keplers back to normal and instant p13000. I really think something is wonky with the assignment server.

conspiracy theory mode on- or is this an attempt to force all the regular folks off of the beta flag so the actual beta members can get the beta units? sorry couldn't resist.

2 pieces gtx780 (win 7 x64, V7.4.4) - for 10 days, the client task receives only 15 core (WU8018, 7660, 762x).
the keys already tried different (not key, advancrd, beta)

Before today:
2 GTX 670's
Windows 8.1
7.4.4 F@H Client
client-type=advanced or beta
nothing but core_15

Today:
Setting client-type=beta (yes I'm on the beta team ) now gets me Core_17 . 3 new core_17's have gone beta with the new nVidia slowdown fix.
