OK, I was looking to jump off of Prime Grid with GTX 680 and back to GPU Grid. Got to looking at the GPU Grid website and found they are almost out of work units. So I then went looking at Collatz and its down. I got kind of worried so I check all the GPU projects I normally run and found this.
 
GPU Grid - out of work
Collatz - down
Asteroids - down (assuming its down since I can not connect to their website)
Seti - out of work
Prime Grid - down
Poem - up but very limited work (you might get one or two work units a week if your lucky)
Milkyway - up and has work
 
So it looks like I will be doing Milkyway work for a while.

    Thx for the head's up.
    Usually I would just hit the "Allow new tasks" for GPUGRID, and leave it. 
    Oh well, seems I have some PPS Sieve leftovers, atleast for a day or two.

    The GPUGrid folks are on holiday so wouldn't expect many work units to be available there until the new year.  Forum thread is here: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=3948

    Took a quick look around today and it looks like Prime Grid and Collatz are back up. I still can't connect to Asteroids. Seti and GPU Grid are still low or out of work.

    I did some checking and Asteroids is moving its server location. The other projects that are not up or out of work are all related to people being away for the holidays as far as I can tell.

    As of right now I'm still getting tasks though gpu grid. Figures just when I finish up with the TZC and switch over to boinic for the rest of the month the only modern hardware I have, my gpu, may run out of work.

    Thanks for all the updates Khalifrio.
    I have been trying to get PRIMEGRID GPU PPS Sieve to run on my AMD R2 290X Graphics Cards and have had no luck so far.
    PRIMEGRID is also having issues this week that may bring down PRIMEGRID for a bit.
     
    Here is what I got from Ross but did not work, so I wonder if this is for the app_config.xml or app_info.xml now.
    What do all think?
     
    <app_info>
    <app>
    <name>pps_sr2sieve</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Proth Prime Search (Sieve)</user_friendly_name>
    </app>
    <file_info>
    <name>primegrid_tpsieve_1.40_windows_intelx86__atiPPSsieve.exe</name>
    <executable/>
    </file_info>
    <app_version>
    <app_name>pps_sr2sieve</app_name>
    <version_num>140</version_num>
    <platform>windows_x86_64</platform>
    <avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>
    <max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
    <flops>1.0e11</flops>
    <coproc>
    <type>ATI</type>
    <count>.5</count>
    </coproc>
    <cmdline></cmdline>
    <file_ref>
    <file_name>primegrid_tpsieve_1.40_windows_intelx86__atiPPSsieve.exe</file_name>
    <main_program/>
    </file_ref>
    </app_version>
    < /app_info>
     
     
    At least I can run Collatz Projects Tasks on them.

    I think the first line pretty well suggests it is an app_info and not an app_config file. Just rename it and see.

    Yep! Ross posted back on their site.
    I have PRIMGRID now running on my ADM R9 290X GPU's
    Also I am still getting GPUGRID Projects today as well.

    Einstein currently has plenty of GPU work available and usually always does have work available unless there is an outage which does not happen very often.

         Collatz Conjecture Project is down. For the last 2 days they have been down.
    All other GPU Projects are still sending out work.
    I run Einstein GPU tasks only on my AMD R2 290X Graphics Cards and not NVIDAI Cards. But thanks linuxrouter
    I have noticed that the GPUGRID Long Runs are only giving out 135,000.00 and not the normal 141,000.00 - 161,000.00

    I am getting very discouraged with Collatz. Back to GPU Grid and maybe Seti for me. I got Milkyway to run but I was getting around a 50% error rate.

    I am a rather newbee with these projects, so is there a listing of the ones you might suggest for inclusion for me? I am also unfamiliar with the app_config.xml files that were mentioned earlier, so I think I need help with that. I will have more computing to throw at things in the next week, so this will allow me to continue to Fold, as well as support other projects, by dividing my rigs up or consolidating them for challenges and other events. I look forward to my increased contribution to this team. I appreciate everyone's wisdom and want to get a better idea of what I can contribute going forward.

    Yea, on my 2P with a 660Ti all Milkyway tasks fail but run Collatz and GPUGRID fine.
    Then on my 4P with a 650Ti Milkyway tasks runs with no issues.
    Collatz has now been down for almost 5 Days due to the project's database server is down.
