I have a 750w Antec True Power New. If you have no issues with 2 470s and the 6core, I should be good to go. Thanks for the info Tex :cool:


I have mine running 2X470 (overvolted) and an i7 @ 4.0 with an Antec TP850W with no issues.

[mstenholm]

;2063279']So I'm clueless about what's happening here. Whenever the GTS450 client is running, my computer is unusable. The GTS450 is the 2nd GPU, not even rendering the display. Doesn't matter if the GTX260 client is going or if WCG is going, it's just unusable :shadedshu :banghead:

Can you run the 450 alone in the rig?

[theonedub]

;2062958']Wow..sounds like a bad WU. I'd go over to the FoldingForum and report it ;)


In the mean time, both of my GPUs have the worst WUs possible :shadedshu

You aren't hit as hard though, my GTS450 literally gets almost twice the PPD on the 9XXs as the 611s :ohwell:

Just fired up EVGA Precision and wow....I'm at 65c instead of 50 :ohwell:

Temps on the GTX260 are also up a few degrees, and the whining is through the roof :(

[TeXBill]

Thanks Bill, I plan on adding something in December, just getting different ideas
CP I heard that their maybe a price cut on Nvidia cards in the near future when the ATI 6XXXX series cards come out. :eek:
So keep your eyes open and you might just get a good deal on the card you want...:D

[Chicken Patty]

Ok keep us posted. :toast:

[TeXBill]

I will. I'm holding off buying any more cards till I see if there is a price cut or not..

[[Ion]]

I might have to buy a 2nd GTS450 if the price cuts are nice enough

[theonedub]

The price cuts were official 259.99 GTX 470 and 199.99 GTX 460 1GB

I dont know if the GTS 450 is going to get any lower, but it probably is a good idea to wait.

[TeXBill]

199.99 GTX 460 1GB
The 460 seems like a good deal but I'm looking for a 460/768mb card.

[theonedub]

Well HV has (2) 460 768MB cards @ $140/each or $270 for both- has me tempted :D

YES, my new 450 did it 5 time on the same WU, then 3 times on a new one (not OC'ed). All cause by NAN (possible RAM error), not EUE. Then I move it to another rig and got an EUE, still stock speed. Could be bad RAM. There is plenty of posts in Folding Forum about the issue. You are not alone.

I too picked up a P2684. I'm getting a little bit better TPF (49:19 on 7 cores), but it's still going to be close if I finish in time. :(

Could be worse... I was stuck with 6701's all week on the 2 newer machines. Hopefully the next one works out for you.

:toast:

[mstenholm]

It only took a week and some config changes, but I have 3 -bigadv on hook right now. Two are 2685 and one 2692(all good WU's). One finishes tonite, one tomorrow and I just started the 3rd, so 2.5days on that one. Gotta look into more WC'ing, as the hottest chip approached 90C yesterday(it warmed up a liitle this weekend). This same rig has a GTX460 in it, so if GPU3 bites into the -bigadv too much, I may have to do a card swap for a GPU2 card

:toast:.

Good ones on all three rigs - that is very good (luck). I too have a 2685. The first 5 frames were with GPU2 (24:02 = 52.272 ppd) and after that I took the GPU off the frame time went down to 22:53 (56.261 ppd). Overall I lose 1.200 ppd by not have the 9800 GTX+ but I save 60 watt. I'm sure that the penalty of running a GPU3 would greater then 1:07 TPF the question is the amount of extra watt you are willing to pay for the extra points a 460 would give you. My guess is that a 450 will brake even on the point side with the 611 pointers. Please do the experiment (take the GPU3 off for 10 frames or so) and report back.

[mstenholm]

I too picked up a P2684. I'm getting a little bit better TPF (49:19 on 7 cores), but it's still going to be close if I finish in time. :(

The 2684s are indeed the slower ones. Are you running GPU3 on the side?

What speed you running at.Mine is at 4GHz but it was a quick OC to get it running, haven't played with my memory timings yet.

Yeah I have two 460's in the same rig

[mstenholm]

Yeah I have two 460's in the same rig

So you both have 7 treads and I assume about the same OC but still there is a big difference in TPF. It seems two 460's are stealing from not only the "reserved" tread but also from the remaining 7. If Nasty is runing at 4.2 or so then the math is a bit more complex. I assume that neither rigs are dedicated to folding?

[oily_17]

Mine is dedicated to folding and I use Process Lasso to set the affinity for the 460's to only 1 core and the SMP to the remaining 7 cores.

[TeXBill]

My main rig GPU 480GTX 790/1580/1848, CPU corei7 960 OC to 4.2GHZ:rockout::rockout:
All of it watercooled cpu runs around 55C GPU stays around 45 to 47C

[garyinhere]

now i'm confused... i thought it was the oc of the card that mattered... i didn't think it impacted the proc?!?

[mstenholm]

Mine is dedicated to folding and I use Process Lasso to set the affinity for the 460's to only 1 core and the SMP to the remaining 7 cores.

Then I must conclude that either -bigadv WU's work better on 8 treads then on 7 even when the 7/8 factor is taken into acount or that there are great variation between them - see below

i7-920 @ 4.095 (7-8-7-24), 8 treads : 43:40 (one I timed in the past)
i7-*** @ 4.00 ( so-so), 7 treads : 53:00 (yours ATM)

53:00 * (7/8)*(4/4.095) = 45:17. I don't think that the timmings alone can acount for that difference. But apples to apples - I need to find my optimum which might differ from yours.

Nice figures TexBill. You get better PPD on normal SMP the most do on the 2684 when running GPU3 at the same time.

[TeXBill]

The i7 runs SMP fast and the GTX480 is the fastest card I've ever had. I run 2 28" monitors with that card and fold 24/7 and it does it with NP.

[oily_17]

now i'm confused... i thought it was the oc of the card that mattered... i didn't think it impacted the proc?!?

The OC does matter the most, the GPU3 client only uses about 2% of the CPU for each client you have.I just like to leave 1 free core for it to use.

yes they do I have 4 of the tech benches setup 2-dimas tech's and 1-lian li and one I'm not sure what it is.

Just checked my setup figures -

i7 920 @4GHz, memory at 8-8-8-18 but only running 1140MHz (I had it turned down to get the OC on the CPU stable)

Will have to play with the settings some more when this WU finishes.

Some people on Folding Forums think that the timings and RAM speed are of great importance. I will test my hex with lower timings once I get my new sticks. I have a TPF of 21:59 (2686) to beat. Hopefully tomorrow.

[oily_17]

I don't want to reboot till this WU finishes, I hear the 2684 are flaky.

So will wait and get it setup better in a few days.

If the 5770 is the primary GPU, the switch should be -gpu 0. Secondary is -gpu 1. And I thought that r700 worked for the 5000 series.

Quote from Tracker site -

The GPU3 client should only be used for Nvidia GTX 400 series cards.ATI 5000 series cards will require the ATI R700 selection to work, since the client can't detect them properly.

Not sure why my TPF is at 53min, we are both about same OC and running on 7 cores but about 4min different in TPF.I also have the 2 GPU clients tied to the 8th core that is not used by the SMP client.

I have a -bigadv dumping tonite that should put us over 1 mil for the day. I also have another dumping tomorrow morning. Bogmali has done an excellent job leading us for the last few months and has caused more than a few of us to re-consider our folding strategy. While our points may look a little slim now, that just means there are quite a few -bigadv's ready to be dumped in the next few days. Keep up the phenomenal work guys!

So, I wiped out my entire FAH GPU Tracker folder and started fresh with v3.31 stable. Hit autodetect GPUs and it only picked up my GeForce GT 220 as GPU 0 in slot 2 of my motherboard, and auto set it as GPU2 as nvidia_g80. Manually added my XFX HD 5770 (slot 1) as GPU 1 ati_r700 using the GPU2 client. Also have SMP going on my Phenom II X4. Besides manually enabling GPU 1 as r700, everything else is default. SMP and GPU 0 (GT 220) work flawlessly. HD 5770 STILL DOESN'T WORK. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

NP ;)

In general, the fewer SMP clients you can run (really, there's never any need for more than 1) the better ;)

IIRC the SMP client will use up to 64 threads ;)

[dark2099]

When I first was playing around with SMP on an i7 920, I think I tried -smp 8 but was only getting like 40% CPU usage across the board, and eventually had to break it down into 4 clients running -smp 2, then tried -4 just now. Guess either I had done something wrong earlier, or F@H updated their stuff.

Have you entered the Environmental Variables? Without them, the ATI client can really place a load on the CPU, and if the CPU is not available for the GPU client, its PPD will fall. Look at post #5 and 24 here: Setting up GPU2 on ATI cards! (http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=110212)

[thebluebumblebee]

JSTN7477, GPU tracker only detects the GT220, so therefore it's going to assign it to -gpu 0 by default. The GPU client from Stanford is also bad at detecting ATI GPU's in a mixed system. Therefore you MUST force the client to detect and expect an ATI GPU (-forcegpu ati_r700) at -gpu 0 (the first slot) and change the GT220 to -gpu 1 (the second slot). Make sure the machine id's are different. -forceasm has to do with the CPU for some AMD CPU's a long time ago, so don't use it with a GPU.

[mstenholm]

Therefore you MUST force the client to detect and expect an ATI GPU (-forcegpu ati_r700) at -gpu 0 (the first slot) and change the GT220 to -gpu 1 (the second slot). Make sure the machine id's are different. -forceasm has to do with the CPU for some AMD CPU's a long time ago, so don't use it with a GPU.

I just deleted the WUs and benchmarks for GPU 0 and GPU 1. I set GPU 0 to ati_r700 and started it. The GT 220 then started folding. :confused:

GPU 1 just crashes no matter what I set it to (g80 or r700).

I guess my HD 5770 is completely invisible to F@H?

I was planning to swap RAM in my rigs after I uploaded my 2685 but then I got a 2692 and decide that it could wait 1.51 day:D

The new rig is still being run in doing crunching. If it has been good all night I will give it a go on some real action tomorrow morning

[[Ion]]

Awesome :rockout:

[mstenholm]

Yes indeed the bigadv god(s) are smiling upon me

[[Ion]]

That they are....I take it your overall PPD is going to be close to 100k w/ both rigs going?

[mstenholm]

I'm doing 60k now and I think that the other one could do around 30k + 17k on my work rig (GPU3) so yes +100k on a good day.

Edit: I think that I will be right in my prediction about the team will have the best day ever today - in the last 6 updates (last one yet to come) we had -bigadv in 5!

[[Ion]]

Yeah...today should be incredible for us. Even if we don't have any more bigadv WUs today, it should still be very impressive :toast:

[NastyHabits]

Pardon my ignorance, but if one finishes a -bigadv unit in less than the "preferred deadline", don't you get the bonus points? Or does it take a bit to show up. I completed a 2684 and should have slammed some serious points up on the board.

I know it's not all about the points, but I'd hate to pay the electric bill in vain.

As long as it's finished uploading by the preferred deadline (even minutes before) you get bonuses ;)

IIRC w/ bonuses the least you can get is ~47k for it ;)

Hasn't shown up yet. Patience is a virtue. I'll wait. tap...tap...tap...

EDIT: Looks like a big day for the team. Looks like you'll need 40K+ to get pie.

[[Ion]]

Should have it at the next update ;)

How much before the preferred deadline did it finish?

[hertz9753]

I had one of my GTX 460's folding two wu's at the same time, while the other one did nothing yesterday.(console version):o

[[Ion]]

Two at the same time? How did that work? :p

[AthlonX2]

can i fold with SLI enabled? are there any special commands such as bigadv or advmethods?

[hertz9753]

;2068146']Two at the same time? How did that work? :p

4600 ppd on each wu, with the 611's.:laugh:

[theonedub]

No special commands. I'll tell you this though, when I was folding with my 275s it was a shitfest trying to get them working right with SLI enabled. In the end, since I dont play many games, I just disabled it.

[AthlonX2]

im running both cards stock 1250 shaders P10372 R70 and R16 averaging 12.5K on both now

[msgclb]

I hope your patience pays off. We currently have four 100K+ folders today and nine with 40K+ looking for pie.

This probable will be another 25 hour day for Free-DC. If the last update comes 6 hours from the last one then that will be at 10 pm CST.

The team already has more points today than yesterday.

Thats about right. Figure that the shader clock will equal your PPD roughly. 1300 region will do 13k PPD, 1400 will do 14k PPD, and ~1550+ will do 15k PPD. Mine is clocked at 1502 and does 14.8kPPD on 611s (P10632).

Just when I was feeling happy about 10k with the shaders on my GTX 460's at 1550.:(

[AthlonX2]

@dub do you need added voltage to run 1502 shaders? Also does the speed of my cpu affect the ppd of my 470's? im trying to squeeze every point i can out of these two cards

[theonedub]

Yeah stock was .962, running at 1.0 even now. Its possible you could those clocks at stock Vcore depending on your card. With 1.0v I can run finish 1hr OCCT GPU with no issues.

As far as CPU usage you will be fine. I've dropped about 200PPD from WCG since GPU3 uses more resources, but even with WCG off and the full CPU available PPD did not increase substantially.

[AthlonX2]

stock on mine is .975 With the heat these cards put out while folding i wont need to run my furnace this winter. does my cpu overclock affect PPD?

[[Ion]]

No special commands. You can fold w/ SLI enabled, but it's easier without
4600 ppd on each wu, with the 611's.:laugh:

Don't feel bad, w/ my GTS450 @ 1850 shaders I pull 7.8k on 611s ;)

[theonedub]

I dont think its going to have a difference. I would see if they are stable with stock Vcore with 1500 shaders then move up if you are not satisfied. On stock air cooling though I think it would be hard to get any higher than 800/1600.

They do run warm :laugh:

[AthlonX2]

top card is 80c and bottom is 72c:eek:

[[Ion]]

That's really not so bad for GF100, my GTX260 loads in the upper 70s (FAH)

[theonedub]

I had the pleasure of getting 9XX WUs for about 2 days before they were pulled. Only did about 66-68C, which was nice. Mine is at 82C right now.

[[Ion]]

That is nice..when I had them on the GTS450 on the open bench, I got sub-55c temps folding them, even OCed and OVed :cool:

[theonedub]

Bring back the 9XX WUs! :D

[[Ion]]

Yes, please :D 80% better PPD on my GTS450 & ~15c lower temps.

[AthlonX2]

why were the 9's pulled? all i seem to get is 611's and they suck

[[Ion]]

IDK...maybe they're out of them for now? :o

[Solaris17]

Have you tried to set it up without using the "Auto Set GPU"

If your HD5770 is in the first slot on the board manually set it as GPU0,

and then set your 260 as GPU1.

EDIT: Your Tracker configure should look like this for the GPU section -

I removed the dust filter from my side intake and temps have dropped 5C. I hate dust though, so I dont think it will stay that way for long.

Any one have a 38mm 120 fan they can send me for relatively little money? I think the side fan I have doesnt have the SP to push through the metal mesh filter I am using.

[[Ion]]

That's a huge drop :eek:

I probably should be more worried about dust...I have my rig on the ground and it's missing both side panels and the front :eek:

Maybe by clicking on forum in the link above.

cool beans. other then network progress and hotkeys (IE: F6 to refresh) the program is perfect.

I cant wait to get the twins :D then ill have 4 GPU's going. and with the mainframe back up I can use this to manage the CPU and grfx. man o man. im getting pumped. those and the PS3 and my farm will be slowly rebuilt. then I can get my sun PC's folding on solaris and maybe a few other machines I have a server or 2 at a friends house that he runs dedicated because I simply didnt have the space. im getting excited! I cant wait for all of this to find a cure. somne of the most powerful home PC's on the planet are on the job!...


BTW earlier I was at the WCG facebook (i know not related to FAH but still same goal) and did you know that sony has a contract with them?! yup you read that right. The new sony laptops are comming pre installed with WCG on them! isnt that sweet? Most will think its bloatware but what a good way to promote these programs when normal users otherwise wouldnt know they existed.

@AthlonX2, this is the setting I had for those 470's when they were folding. For your reference only (YMMV):

I saw they posted this earlier about it coming in their laptops, that's pretty good stuff. Might just get lotta more people to run WCG. :toast:

You uploaded a -bigadv yesterday but you onlly got the basic points for it. That really sucks ! Are you using HFM.net? Passkey?

I guess my HD 5770 is completely invisible to F@H?

Just out of curiosity could you post the client.cfg (just open them in notepad) settings from the GPU0 and GPU1 folders in Tracker.

I am wondering if it is not setting them correctly because Tracker has trouble picking up the HD5*** series.


On a side note - I just checked my TPF for -bigadv and it has dropped to 48min from 53min.I haven't touched the machine and it has been running for over a day :confused:
