but it has DX11 :rockout:

So? :wtf:

Not like a HD5450 could do much in DX11 @ 1920x1080 :p

Far rather have a 9800GX2 :cool:

Or GTS450

[(FIH) The Don]

it has eyefinity too lol :laugh:

oh man, i keep facepalming when i see OEM machines with such cards in them, and they promote the cards as being able to play the latest games :banghead:

i am actually thinking about expanding the rig now, maybe a small rig with a used 260 in it or similar lol

[[Ion]]

Mine gets ~8k PPD. But a GTS450 isn't much more new, and does 9-15k ;)

[Magikherbs]

My goal at one point was to go Crossfire on this system.. (sniffle sniffle) :ohwell:but F@H wont let me :cry: !

@ [ION], :slap: ".. the ATI is strong in this one !" ;)

For me.. both companies are the SAME.. literally.. When I first saw how similar the HD 4850 and 9800 GT are built, I wanted to yell SHANANIGANS @!! lol They, Nvidia/Ati, each do some things better than the other, to avoid a stalemate/ making it more obvious :o

[Chicken Patty]

Everybody has their preference. Menfor example, I only own nvidia cards because of f@h. If not I wouldn't.

[[Ion]]

Exactly the opposite of me....I'd have to have a very compelling reason to go ATI. Intel + nVidia = win :)

[Chicken Patty]

Amd+ati= win x5 :laugh:

Amd+ati= win x5 :laugh:

In that case I still win, because I have 10 cores going for WCG

I will be shutting the 9800 fold down after this WU. I do plan to fold P/T with it once I get a better hsf. The GTS 250 and SMP will be 24/7 for a while..

EVERYTHING is running freakin amazing.. nooo lag or hangs.. now lets see if it will handle Diablo II LOD aswell lol ..

how hot did your card get while playing/folding?

also, hows the cooling on the vrm area?

and thanks lol

i think it overcalculated it though, its down to 14800~

[Fitseries3]

im getting jipped on points somewhere.

i have this folding...

sr2#1 - 2x 5690's @ 3.9ghz (win7)
sr2#2 - 2x 5675's @ 3.4ghz (OSX)
sr2#3 - 2x 5687's @ 4ghz(megarig)(win7)
silvermax - 980x @ 4.2ghz(OSX)
4x gtx480s @ 700mhz(megarig)(win7)

no bigadv at the moment. just standard WU's i think... most cpus running GRO-A3 at the moment.

i have gpus limited to 80% due to heat right now. (apt is HOT as FOOK!!!)

can anyone give me a rough estimate of PPD?

It's just stock cooling on it.....sticker 9800GTX+ + it's on the bottom of the case...I might just install it on a motherboard tray...been thinking about it.

those 9800gtx's CAN get hot

but yeah, i would try and put it on the tray for a while and see if it helps, if it does then its most likely the temps :toast:

[Magikherbs]

so what does your farm consist of now?

Heya and pardon the delayed response lol.. aaand just found out what 'farm' means ! :laugh: Im a 'budget noob' :rockout: So what u see is what u get :rockout:

I never found it necc and/or affordable to own a comp until 2 yrs ago. Paid $310 for a pc barebones kit, Athlon 64 x2 5000+, MSI nForce 430/6150se, 1gb DDR2 ect.. Then this past spring, I realized that sellin/trading comp parts online IS just the same as trading items on DII LOD:eek: My net costs on this config are only $260 :wtf: My most recent addition being the Palit GTS 250 which was only $60. and.. Im STILL rockin the Caviar Blue HDD that the kit came with ! :p

Peace

EDIT

I sense that some of you with HIGH GPU OR CPU temps, have the ram installed on the dimms closest to the cpu. If you have 4 dimms on your mobo, try moving your ram to the 2 other slots. Yes, your GPU will still run warm/hot, but your CPU will have some room to breathe, thus more able to handle the HEAT. :rolleyes: This is especially important if you are using stock GPU HSFs. I have yet to test this on an Intel config but results should be similar.

Oh I know it's the temps. Turning on the window A/c and just kicking it down a few degrees in the room stops it from becoming unstable.

[[Ion]]

Fits, you should be able to get right near 200k PPD w/ that! :eek: :respect:

[[Ion]]

CPU PPD is way low. I get far more than that on my i7 @ 3,8ghz on that WU. Try setting the CPU to just -smp 22 to see if that goes better ;)

Your TPFs on that WU should be 2-3 minutes, tops

[Fitseries3]

why does it do that?

http://img.techpowerup.org/101007/Capture162.jpg

[[Ion]]

Do what? PPD go down? Or turn yellow? It's yellow because the client hasn't done 3 percent yet since it was last started.

[Fitseries3]

no, why does it run like crap unless you specify -smp 15

[[Ion]]

-smp 15? WTH?

And that's still a bit low IMO. You should be able to do -smp 20 or -smp 22 with TPFs under 3 minutes...if you get anything under 50k PPD from the CPUs, something's wrong

[Fitseries3]

isnt that for # of threads? i only have 16 in this machine.

its dropped since the pic

[mstenholm]

why does it do that?

http://img.techpowerup.org/101007/Capture162.jpg

The 480 (GPU3) steals a fair amount of CPU cycle and the CPU SMP does not like to be interrupted in their work. The short, and not very sicentific explaination, but it seems to hold water in your case. Let's see the 200k PPD.

[Fitseries3]

i restarted cpu client and now it cannot connect to get work. WTF?

EDIT: finally got a WU

[[Ion]]

Oh, thought that it was a dual hex-core system. In that case, try -smp 15 or even -smp 14, you should be able to get ~4minute TPFs on that WU.

[Fitseries3]

http://img.techpowerup.org/101007/Capture163.jpg

[[Ion]]

Much better :toast: :rockout:

How many threads are you using for SMP?

[Fitseries3]

i set it to -smp 14

i should get this machine OCed. lol! its sitting at stock 3.6ghz right now.

i guess i should setup the machines at work similarly?

[[Ion]]

Yeah....I'd use -smp (n-1), where n is the number of threads it has. And definitely OC ;)

[thebluebumblebee]

Anyone know if there's a -cpu 0/-cpu 1? If there is, might Fits get better PPD running an SMP client on each CPU? -smp 7 on each?

[[Ion]]

There's not. But it's not needed. Just 2 different clients, each with different machine IDs. But, with the way bonuses work, 16 threads together will probably do 50% more PPD than 2 8-thread clients ;)

[Magikherbs]

[sneekypeet]

so that one rig is breaking a 20A?

[Fitseries3]

that and my main machine which is just a lowly i5 rig.

[sneekypeet]

still pretty impressive power draw. When i ran my Tri-SLI i got a small dose of power issues, I doubt I could even power that rig on my antiquated wiring:roll:

[p_o_s_pc]

only time i had a problem like that was when i had i think 8 rigs and alot of GPU's all overclocked and crunching/folding 24/7. It was so close to the limit that if i was to turn all the moniters on and my tv it would trip or would sometimes just trip with only the rigs :roll:
so i can only dream of the massive power that rig is sucking

[[Ion]]

lol

Never even close, my rig is ~350w tops in it's current config. Highest it's ever been at was not quite 500w from the wall

[Fitseries3]

i reconfigured my work machines today and hope they stay on track for some serious output :D

home machine is running full blast so i hope to see over 100k today.

[[Ion]]

Awesome!

If you run bigadv, you should be able to get well over 200k between everything :eek: :toast: ;)

[Magikherbs]

Plz try these settings on your next VU and help me test my theory. :) It is vital that you reboot the system after making these changes. Im using the 258.96 drivers. If you did not install your drivers "as Administrator", I would uninstall them and redo.

http://img.techpowerup.org/101008/NvidiaGpusettings.jpg

When I bench with Passmark, PCtest 64bit, I got better gpu scores with Antialiasing set to 2X. Other benchmarks did better with it set to 'app controlled', then others ran best with all settings at defaults.

http://img.techpowerup.org/101008/NvidiaGpusettings2.jpg

I have tried these settings on only a handful of cards, Nvidia : 6150se, 8400gs, 7900gtx, 9800gt, 9500gs, gts 250 and 2 *Ati : HD 4200, 5670, 5570.

*Ati CCC has 2-3 settings like 'mini-map detail', that will decrease performance if set to HQ. Its been a couple of months since Ive used CCC lol... The exact settings I used are a little hazy. :D

Maybe we should have a gpu settings thread where we compare settings and PPD ?

[[Ion]]

Shame that the CPU isn't actually doing a bigadv WU ATM :(

And the reason that your GPU PPD is lower is that the GTS450s can do almost 15k w/ the 9xx pt WUs, but the 6xx pt ones drop the PPD down by a huge amount :(

Roughly comparable TPFs, but only worth ~2/3 of the points

Since I can't afford to buy another of either of these cards I would like to put them together into one rig. The other rig would be free for a couple of GTX 260 cards.
I'd like some opinion on whether you think these cards will play nice with each other in the same rig.
No reason why it shouldn't work :)
I'm down about 20K today. I fell asleep last night without logging in on the Hotel's wi-fi network, and woke up to 10 GPU's idling:banghead:.I should be moving next weekend, so the wi-fi issue should be no more. Rigs will be down Tues/Wed/Thurs, as I will be in Atlanta for meetings(back Thursday PM).

BTW....will the 611 pointers ever stop....:cry:

Ooh, that sucks :(
Where will you be as of next weekend?

The Townhouse I was looking at got leased before I could sign. Now I'm moving into a 2BR apartment near where I work. I'm single/kids are grown, so BR #2 becomes the Folding Room/Office. I'm on the 2nd floor, so I can leave the windows open to take advantage of the cool folding weather we get here in North Florida. This will be my first dedicated folding room, so I'll post up some pics after I get everything settled.

That sounds awesome!

I can't wait to see how it turns out :D

Think you'll be upping your PPD much once you have a dedicated FAH room?

I will swap all GPU's over to GTX4xx series(8-GPU's minimum) and will have a total of 3 -bigadv running. I'm thinking of picking up another i7/GTX460 @ Microcenter next week if they have any deals going. Now I've got to look for another deal on a P55 board.

[[Ion]]

That would be super cool!

So that would be 100k+ from GT4xx GPUs + ~60-80k from bigadv! Awesome! No1 by PPD again?

EDIT: Even the P55M-UD2 is supposed to be able to take an i7 to 4ghz+, and it's pretty cheap ;)

Just got my Sapphire 3850 512MB AGP running F@H in one of my older 939 rigs (Asus A8V, Athlon X2 4400+ @ 2.4GHz, 3GB DDR 400, 3850 AGP.) What PPD can I expect? (I believe the core is at 750MHz.) I might run something else on the CPU like WCG since I don't use the computer for anything else atm.

Still folding on my GeForce GT 220 in the second PCIe slot of my main rig of course. :)

~1500 PPD. nV is far better. Even a 9600GT is twice that.

Why not run WCG only on CPU, and leave the Folding@Home for the GPU's? That way from one rig you can contribute to two different projects. Quite a few of us have it setup that way. Just my two cents.

It is the most logical way to run both projects. To have WCG and F@H compete for CPU resources will be very inefficient.

Well folks since the arrival of my 5870 I'm not folding with the GX2 since a bit before that. I used to see about 24-25k. At least I still do a healthy 17-18k with the 295 and a 8800GS. :toast:

That's what I was basing my claim off of ;)

I ordered the stock version, but from what I've seen, TOP speeds shouldn't be hard with a bit of voltage ;)

I think even caseless the slot will matter, there's a spare slot between PCie 1 and 2 (where I have the WiFi card), so GPU1 gets some extra air. And slot 3 has nothing after it, but the 2nd GPU will be stuffed up against the 3rd.

Even 1 GPU folding heats up my A05S, sure wouldn't want to try 3 or even 2. Might be stuck caseless until I can get a better case

If anyone comes across one, I'm looking for a donation, or cheap psu to fire back up my folding rig. I still have a 9800gtx that could be folding 24/7. I have to get replacement stuff for my main rig, so I just can't afford to fire up the 2nd rig right now. Eventually I want to replace my 2 260s in my main rig with 2 285s or even 2 460s, used of course, and fold the 260s again. I just can't risk the 260s for now, as I have nothing to replace them.

Well that TOP is 925 on the core :p

Still, from what I've read, with some extra voltage, that shouldn't be hard.

And the SS cases certainly do look excellent, but they're expensive as hell. I'd rather save $100 and get a CM692, which still looks pretty good.

Or a tech station, because that way the cards are horizontal, so the heat can just rise out the top. And there are a lot of good tech stations under $100 :cool:

2 years ago I lost my other childhood dog who was around when I was in 1st grade. It never gets easier :(

[[Ion]]

I'm really sorry to hear that :(

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah dude, it really never gets easier.

[[Ion]]

If anyone's curious, here's tracking for the GTS450: NE Tracking (http://www.newegg.com/Info/TrackOrder.aspx?TrackingNumber=1ZX799470332328124) . Still no info, so I doubt that it will be here before Thursday at the absolute earliest, maybe even Friday :(

[thebluebumblebee]

Hello, UPS? I'd like to reroute a package....

[(FIH) The Don]

did they forget to put the gfx in the box? it weighs nothing lol :laugh:

[hertz9753]

In a sad turn of events my 12 year old dog lost her fight with cancer earlier today, RIP Pika :cry:

Fold Strong.

:( I had to put my 16 year old best friend to sleep on Aug. 26.

[DaMulta]

I gots me a J O B today! Start in the morning, but I have no idea what I'm doing....New temp mans said he would get me a better job(maybe inspecting) soon, but this will be at least something on the table. Even pays alright anyways!

SOON MORE PPD, but I need to get myself caught back up with bills first...at least I never had to shutdown F@h/WCG :P ALMOST DID! Another week and it would of been d o w n for a while to come.....

That may be a bit ambitious....but 950 would be nice :D

It seems like you need +30K PPD to be in the pie these days. I like pie so an W3670 (6 core, 3.2 GHz) is going to replace my i7-920 and a 450 is to replace a 9800 GTX. After my next job I will find them a new home.

Edit: On second thought the GPU3 is CPU hungry, so the 9800 will be replaced by my noisy 260 and the 450 goes into my daily rig provided it runs quiet (MSI Cyclone, the 460 I have already is acceptable)
Second edit: The W3670 is not listed in the Supported CPU for my UD7 I just found out. Let´s hope it will work anyway or I have to re-think my expantion plans - dual XEON sounds nice too :)

[theonedub]

Its crazy that a year or so ago 15k-22k would get you 8-10th place in daily production. Team is growing and expanding quickly.

On a weather related note, its WARM right now. Im letting my rig idle for the today and will fire it back up tonight.

The GTS450 isn't much better than a 9800GTX.

I'd get at least a GTX460 if you can afford it ;)

And the MSI Cyclone is dead quiet, at least according to TPU's review.

My i7 rigs seems to have gone offline for some reason while I was at school, I'm guessing it was probably down ~2-3 hours :(

I'm very happy with my MSI Cyclone GTX460 but I was looking for a little less power consumption and noise since the rig sits under my work table. I was under the impression that the 450's perform well on the new 912/925 pointers. You might be right that there will be a very small gain on the other WU´s.

I have the same problem - as soon as I leave the home something happens to my i7 rig. I blame the dog :laugh:

Pssh, when I first started folding I was in the top 10 producers with a single 5200+ running the SMP client. :twitch:

I think that it's more likely that it's my parents :p

On the 9xx PT WUs, a GTX460 and a GTS450 are about the same, but on the 6xx PT ones at least, the GTX460 gets anywhere from 33-50% better PPD than the 450

[BUCK NASTY]

Wow, you guys are cranking without me! It looks like i may not start my rigs up until Saturday, but i will have everything running. I picked up the i7-870 yesterday, so all 3 -bigadv rigs will be up by Saturday PM(pending overclock tweaks). Keep up the great work guys!!!

[[Ion]]

Saturday is very impressive!

And I can't wait to see what you do w/ 3 bigadv rigs & all of your GPUs :)

You'll be quite the force to be reckoned with :respect: :toast:

My GTS450 comes tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting that installed and pushing some serious PPD (ideally at least 15k)

Guys,

Is there shortage of WU's for ATI cards? Mine keeps trying to retrieve work but can't!

[[Ion]]

Not sure about ATI, but both my nV cards are going strong

It was folding fine a few hours ago :(

Try restarting the client, that could help ;)

[Chicken Patty]

;2055560']Try restarting the client, that could help ;)

Already did :(

No success I take it?

Try that again, if that doesn't work, with any luck it'll have something by tomorrow AM

I'll keep you posted. No, restarting again didn't work for me. :(

[bogmali]

Leave it on CP, it will eventually pick up a WU in a few minutes. My HD5970 used to do that when I had it folding.

Just checked my rigs and none are returning results. I have to go to work now, I'll check them when I get back! :banghead::banghead:

My rig seems to be returning results, so maybe it's an issue w/ your network?

GTS450 comes today :D :toast:

[Chicken Patty]

everything is working fine in my network :( Still nothing. I'll keep you guys posted.

Well that's certainly strange, both my 9600GT and the GTX260 are going fine. Hopefully there will be WUs for the GTS450 as well (can't imagine that it won't come within the next couple hours)

If Free-DC is back to 4 updates a day then the 3rd update data has been captured and is now being correlated:o. I'll be looking for it after 5 PM CST but it will probably take until 6 PM or later.

thanks!

TBH, folding is the only thing my machines have done in the past 2 weeks. other than email.

glad i can help out.

i havent made it into work to switch the others over so only 1 at the moment.

Aha...so the others are just doing standard SMP? Still very impressive!

[mstenholm]

I tried to change my W3670 order to an i7-980X. Found out it only support 1066 and will not fit in a dual board. So far no reply from the vendor. Currently doing 33 KPPD on a 2685 due in 20 hours. Would be nice with the extra two cores and 55 KPPD :)

That's a bummer. Would the 980x scale to 55K ppd?

Yes provided it gets a good OC http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=14757

+55 kPPD @ 4,2 GHz with one GPU folding so a realistic 4.1 GHz and no GPU folding should do it.
