with the amount of work unit that we get through you think it would never happen

Well, considering there are seconds to minutes difference that affects bonus points on SMP WUs, and the fact that I can't control which project I'd get the WUs from, it's pretty nifty.

Even the Hourly Production for those two days are different, but they somehow still add up to the same amount.

so the 680 has 3x the cuda cores of a 580 basically, shouldn't it fold at 3x also? or what part am i missing here.

You're missing the part where they aren't as efficient as the cuda cores in Fermi were. If you were to give Fermi the same number of cuda cores as the GTX680....it would easily outperform the 680 in GPGPU operations. The reason for the performance difference between Fermi and Kepler is the massive increase in "cuda cores" and the drastically higher clocks. The Kepler architecture is very power efficient.....unfortunately the architecture, in general, is less efficient at processing data than Fermi is/was.

Check, well, good to know. i guess the power efficiency is the selling point compared to the fermi cards then.

is yoyo69 back

Welcome back yoyo69. I'm glad that you are folding again

sykozis · 06-13-2012, 23:18 | posts: 13,493 | Location: US East Coast

Well, had to take a break....finally getting back to folding but can't use the GPU for some reason.

iancook221188 · 06-16-2012, 22:07 | posts: 1,246 | Location: uk

o dear what a day just formatted the wrong drive. ended up formatting my main drive with all my data on did not have a lot of it back up iver but ive manage to get the two important partition back with no data lost the other one is gone no big loss im back up now and making backup that was far to close

sykozis · 06-23-2012, 23:34 | posts: 13,493 | Location: US East Coast

Gotta be careful when formatting.

Still can't get the GPU folder to run....just errors out. Trying to figure out what the problem is. Might just have to revert to the Cat12.4 or pickup a cheap nV card to fold on. Thinking a GT430 or 520 to run as a dedicated folder otherwise I'll have to pickup a new PSU.

I just realized that I did some folding anonymously for 12 hours or so since yesterday, worth ~15 k points

... all because of a power outage that did something to my client because I received an error when I returned to fold after the blackout ,and the only thing I could do was to re install the client.

When I installed the client I set my donor name,team,all.But when I started to fold I didn't see that all was set to default in the client(I don't know why). I realized that after I saw that I don't receive any points. That was a beginner mistake,not to check the identity

; the important part is that the work that I completed will be used by Standford,and is not lost,even if ra_alfaomega haven't receive anything for that.

Was just a couple of days, (for old times sake)
was getting 25k on my GTX580 (this will soon be up for sale if any one is tempted).

Will try a short run on my GTX670 just to see what the ppd difference is like..

iancook221188 · 06-25-2012, 17:22 | posts: 1,246 | Location: uk

good to here from you anyway, there is not a kepler client for GTX670/80/90 but there a work around that is supported by stanford to get the gpu3 client working but it does not give the best ppd

sykozis · 06-29-2012, 06:05 | posts: 13,493 | Location: US East Coast

My HD7870 still won't fold.... Getting very tempted just to shove the GTX560Ti back in and let it chew through some WUs...

iancook221188 · 07-02-2012, 16:45 | posts: 1,246 | Location: uk

ok my 2600k rig is down mobo has going into a crash loop no matter what ram i use so im having to RMA it hopefully they will send me another broad out

im going to be down 30k now

sykozis · 07-03-2012, 00:19 | posts: 13,493 | Location: US East Coast

I'm back on my 560Ti for now. Soon as I get a chance to finish lapping heatsinks I'll get my 2600K folding...right now I'm hitting 70C within minutes of starting F@H.

if you have the right case, one of those corsair h100's or the antec equivalent works pretty well for a self contained unit.

sykozis · 07-04-2012, 01:55 | posts: 13,493 | Location: US East Coast

I tried an Antec Kuhler 620....hit 70C as soon as I started folding. Didn't matter how I mounted or how many fans I mounted to it....soon as F@H started my temps shot to 70C (using 4 cores). I've been using my Freezer 13, which can maintain 70-72C max temp (running smp -8) but the rep from Intel said that's not safe for 24/7 folding.

what are the temp at normal usage and idle, what does the mobo sensor say for tthe tamp of the cpu?

RealTemp reports a max of 56C under "normal" usage.

they high i mean with 1.33v 4.5ghz with an NHD-14 my 2600k does not go over 60-65 i would say there something up with the chip or it just a very hot running chip

ra_alfaomega · 07-05-2012, 16:30 | posts: 83 | Location: Romania,Brasov

I just upgraded to a 3930k (my second intel after Pentium 1

) and I hope to see a great boost in my ppd in the next days...for now I'm playing a little with the bios and settings...Our team will have a little more points coming from me

iancook221188 · 07-05-2012, 16:44 | posts: 1,246 | Location: uk

that does sound cool ra_alfaomega hehe that a good 30-50k ppd there

ra_alfaomega · 07-06-2012, 07:46 | posts: 83 | Location: Romania,Brasov

Overclocked to 4,2 (for now, with stock voltages) manages to pull 72k ppd from 7003-7004 projects, 50k from 8048 and just 44k from 8013. I am very happy with this 3930k

My ram is just 1333mhz, but soon I will buy 1866 or 2000mhz so it will perform even better.

wow that good what cooling are you using
