My GPU doesn't seem to be running F@H, and instead the CPU must complete the WUs, which takes forever.

I think the threshold is 8500 or 88000GT for Nvidia cards. So it should work, but cards that old sometimes run into problems. It would help if you could give us the basic specs of your comp along with what clients you are trying to run and their log files. So people can help diagose your problem.

My former roommate ran a 9500 GT just fine for a while. It's not that fast, but it made the deadlines by a comfortable margin. Use the GPU client v6.32 found here. If that doesn't work for some reason, you could also try v6.23.

I used one a few years ago, it produces about 800-1300 ppd.
