Updates From Guru3D Folders

Second GTX470 is now in place and folding (Have issues in game when using SLI (not related to folding) but I have just disabled that for now), new motherboard looks to be better for OCing than old one. At 3.9ghz now, will try for more some time.. Showing 38,000 - 39,000 ppd now..

 

hey yoyo what your normal ppd on one 470 and im haveing all sort of problems getting 2xGPU3 to play nicely with smp or bigadv

 

My ppd on the GTX470 is 13500-14000...(with the OC in my sig)...

 

Hey iancook, how about this setup:
SMP2 BETA Client with -smp 10
2 X GPU3 BETA Client
1 Classic Client
That way, your SMP2 WUs will not EUE due to -smp 11 and you will have a 2 free threads, one can be for 2 GPUs while the other can sun a single instance of Classic Client.

 

yer look like im going to have to that way just annoys me that bigadv work on smp 11 and smp don't, im looking to overclock the 970 now to see if it gives the cpu3 clinent anuff room ( on think i have been fighting with on the gpu3 clinent is it useing more than on thread and slowing the smp down even thogh ive toll it to use one thread witch is confusing)

 

iam going out of my city for 4-7 days..so no FOLDING guys

 

I run -bigadv -smp7 p2684 with 53:30~53:40 tpf (~16000 ppd) @ 3.6ghz / 6-7-6-18@1600 marginally better than I obtained with A3 normal WU's (13-14k ppd). From what I see I guess p2684 is slower than rest of bigadv projects. My 480 keeps folding 15-16k ppd on the same rig.

I will wait to see how it goes with WU's from the other bigadv projects as well.

 

I've had enougth of the graphical problems with Sli enabled so have decided to go with a one card setup.
New GTX580 arrives today, lower PPD I know but better for my gaming...

 

ariskar yer that what i think everone see on the 2684 i think it was the first work unit on windows bigadv so the other are better coded

yoyo69 wow a 580

 

He has to use that 1000Watt PSU for something right?

 

It actualy uses less wattage and runs cooler than my old setup...(58c while folding)...

 

that pretty good 58c on a 580

 

49:50 TPF @ 3.8 now. Running ~ 70C core (61C cpu) temps on air, I guess it's near my OC stability limit. At least that assures I don't miss the deadline. Also ppd grew to ~17500, quite good for "just" a 920 I suppose.

My average to cheap-ish 2000VA (1200W) rated UPS can't hold my rig while folding or intense gaming :bang:

So power efficiency is also important, and I guess 1x580 is better than those two 470's from this perspective...

I fold @ 68c on my 480 with slight oc (750/2000).

There were rummors that 580 sacrafice some GPGPU parallel processing power for gaming performance. What PPD do you get on that 580 of yours?

Anyway wish you enjoy your new toy!

 

had a blue screen on my main rig for unknown reason was down for 7hour before i got home
anybody no how i can look at the dump file for the blue screen i want to find out what did it this rig has never blue screen yet so i don't think it hardware but never no

 

You should be able to review the system event log to at least get the error code (aka STOP 123) etc. Might give you a little bit of information to run on.

My fiance blew the fuse using a hair drier so my systems were down for quite a while 2 days ago :bang:

 

yer i can find all of that im trying to what cause it i think this time is was drivers but im not sure yet i no the dump file will say it. i no it should not be hardware because the begadv is still going without EUEing

 

You can usually look up the error code and get an idea of what caused it. Hardware failure, Driver Failure, etc.

I've OC'ed my system too far and blue screened while folding, I was able to continue folding that WU like nothing really happened. Not sure that is a clear cut way to say it wasn't the hardware

 

Im back already and folding.

 

Welcome back

As for the blue screens, I only got from CPU OC instability, or low ram Vdimm. Whenever that happened I could continue folding on the same WU.

You may be able to read the minidump file that gets created in c:\windows\minidump and obtain more info:nerd:

 

yer ive been looking into a way of looking at that file. i will have to keep a eye out for that rig now to see if it happen again:bang:
