5800 series work yet?

[Anath]

So I thought I would help out and use my hardware to a good cause while I am not using it. I tried downloading the gpu client for F@h and when it came up it said that my drivers didnt work or something or another. So did i do something wrong or does the 5800 series not work with f@h yet? thanks!

I think it needs drivers. Some games I've been playing run excessively shitty. The only game that works alright is GTA4. The next round of catalsyts should be out soon...

9.10 was released yesterday wasnt it? It seems like they just need to update f@h to include the 5800 series.

I got the same error with my GeForce 210. I got past it though by going into the "configure" page, clicking on the "Advanced" tab, and adding the -forcegpu nvidia_g80 flag. For you, you should try the -forcegpu ati_r700 to make it ignore what GPU it is. Make sure you have the ATI/NVIDIA cliant and not the NVIDIA only client.

I don't anticipate any kind of OpenCL refresh until Nvidia has new cards on the market.

Winner! I'm downloading them now. I hope it helps.

Ok after i installed it i double clicked it and the screen pops up saying "Your gpu is not supported or you need a current driver. You may wish to consider running our standard client" Is there a way to run the standard client off of my gpu?

answer to that is NO. Standard client is just CPU

[Anath]

Well i could have swore I saw someone running f@h off of their 5800...

Thanks a lot dude thats exactly what i was looking for. Also when the hell is gpu3 going to come out.

sometime early next year is what i am getting from the rumors

[Anath]

Well thats not too bad. If I can do 5k per card a day I think thats decent.

not bad for ATI. My less powerful 8800GT gets about 5.6-5.8k ppd (also a hell of a overclock)

[Anath]

Yea I hope that the with the new gpu3 that will double my output. Or I might just invest in a folding farm who knows :P

folding farm FTW :rockout: Just so you know the GTS250 and 9800GT are some good affordable cards that put out good PPD when overclocked.

BTW did you try the 2 flags both on at the same time
-gpu 0 -forcegpu ati_r700

[Anath]

No I only tried the -forcegpu ati_r700

[p_o_s_pc]

No I only tried the -forcegpu ati_r700

maybe give both of them a try. what you got to lose

[Anath]

Yea Ill see what my estimated ppd is when i get home then add the other one and see what the estimated one is after.

so you got it folding?

[Anath]

Yea I got one card folding before i left. Sadly i started attempting the folding before i had to leave for work haha.

[p_o_s_pc]

since you have 2 cards you will want to set the flags like this
-forcegpu ati_r700 -gpu 0 (the card in the primary slot)
-forcegpu ati_r700 -gpu 1(card in slave) also i'm sure you already know you will have to setup 2 different clients with each card having a different machine ID

[Anath]

Yea I did but anyway. I wanted to make sure i get it to work on one card before i went through and started it on the other

I don't blame you. I wouldn't be able to resist as soon as i saw it say "stating GUI Server" i would have been working on the other one :roll: keep us updated on how it goes :toast:

[Anath]

haha most definitely. Ill definitely post results from the first one when i get back home.

[p_o_s_pc]

i really hope to see it put my 8800GT to shame or atleast :slap: my GTS G80.

[Anath]

lol yea but most people are averaging about 5k so I am guessing once i get both of them up it will be around 10-11k

looks like we will be fighting for a rank before you know it. Where are you in the ranks right now? (btw i'm lending most of my GPU power to someone for the contest. only a few days and he will have the points he needs :D)

[Anath]

Oh I just started folding today so I dont think i even have a ranking yet haha.

[p_o_s_pc]

Oh I just started folding today so I dont think i even have a ranking yet haha.

i didn't know that. so it will take you awhile to get up the ranks before i have to worry about you being a threat :laugh: have fun folding. :rockout:

[Anath]

haha thanks! Im lookin forward to it!

[NastyHabits]

Don't worry, you'll be flying up the ranks very soon. :toast:

While that error window is up you can sneak into the configuration page and add the flag. The tray icon runs until you hit "OK" on the error message.

[goldfries]

I'm running the -forcegpu ati_r700 command and while F@H powers up, it keeps reporting UNSTABLE MACHINE. :( sad.
