Did you also select "Help Conquer Cancer" on the "My projects" page?

Edit: I think I will mainly crunch to help out (as always) and will once in a while do some GPU crunching for boosting PPD/Challenge points and for sh*ts & giggles. I will not participate for the hardware prizes because most of them would go to waste here (not really being in a position to crunch 24/7, and the rigs to donate would be hard and costly to ship across the Atlantic). So I was like let's let them know so that folks being more "worthy" of being a receiving end get priority.

Yes I went to my profile on the website and only clicked on HCC.

Both of my GPUs on both laptops where crunching last night.

Check settings to make sure the gpu option is not set to suspend mode.

With lots of help from ThE_MaD_ShOt, I'm now running three WUs per GPU core:

http://img.techpowerup.org/121101/wcg3.jpg
That is incredible. I'm floored. Three WUs/card and they're still getting to 99.415% in a minute and a half.

So--what do you say? You wanna stick with us even after the competition?
:cry:
I'm really sorry for your loss :cry::cry:
Makes my pc make funny noises almost like a clicking sound but i cannot find where its coming from but i don't care, This can run till something fails hahaha.

The odd thing is the noise is not there all the time, Maybe i will take it apart and check things later on today as i think the pc could do with a good clean.

Might also try and get 2 work units going on this GPU but that will have to wait till later to as i need to read up on how to set it up :).
Perhaps it's capacitor whine. I've found that particularly GPUs can make strange noises when loaded to 100%.
I have 4 laptops going, 12 cores and 2 gpus.
:rockout:

Is everyone else getting GPU WU. I don't have any going, I have accepted the WU to crunch and I have select to always work on GPU in the profile but nothing is downloading.
Everything looks good here :toast:
I am doing this in honour & dedication to my beloved Mother
I know this is just a small token of respect, but doing my little bit wherever possible.
We really appreciate it. I would imagine that everyone on this forum knows someone battling with cancer or has lost someone to cancer--it is for all of these beloved friends and family that we pour our hearts into the Grid. :cry: :respect:

well my custom router did not work as planned. The distro I used would not pickup but just one of my NIC cards :(

The router I ordered comes in today so I am hoping it works like I need it.

Well, at least you should have internet access again for the GPUs by tonight :toast:

Yea, I kinda wished that worked out but I only tried one distro in the long list of ones on that forum post so I may try again.

Yeah it's pretty awesome. That machine is averaging a wu every 1 min and 6 seconds.

That seems too slow. I could see each card averaging a WU every minute and six seconds--but I'd imagine that it should be ~half that for the machine (or even less).

My 5770 right now is averaging 2 WU per 3 minutes which isn't too bad for the old card!

Let me rephrase, that it is finishing 3 wu's in just about 3 mins. That rig only has 1 gpu in it, the 7850 and that rig is putting out right at 40k ppd.


What do you get out of that 960T? CPU only or with GPU?

the 960t on cpu gets about 3 to 3.k ppd. The 7850 is in one of my x2 555 @x4 and 3.5ghz rigs. it is getting right at 40k ppd.

I am getting a GTS 450 back from erocker (Said it was artifacting) so I will be testing it in the 785G/4000+ combo and if it works fine I will put it to work as well. Should put out the same PPD as the 5770

Wow. That's amazing. I'm wishing that I hadn't sold the HD5770 I had :ohwell:

I doubt it. My nV cards (admittedly running only one WU each) are much slower than that. Like 3 minutes/WU on the GTX470s, 6 minutes/WU on the GTX460s.

You can still crunch on it. It's still far better than a CPU, even if it's sluggish by GPU standards :ohwell:

Thanks for your condolences. He was a good guy, and about the same age as me. Not something you want to see happen to a nice guy with a wife and three kids, much less anybody else.

I am thinking about sticking with this, although not in the same capacity. I'm curious what this is going to do to my electric bill :cry:

Last night after I got my main rig going, I added in my home server (945T CPU only) and my kids' rig (3750K with GTX280 CPU + GPU - probably needs tweaking as it's not usable when running like my main rig). I also have a P4 3.4GHz CPU and mobo, but I don't have a decent card to use on it. If anyone has an ATI GPU that will run on a 450W PSU that they are not able to use, I would be willing to pay shipping to me and back to you if you would let me borrow it for the challenge.

@t_ski

The NVidia cards really drag the system down while crunching on gpu wu's so if you are going to use the system you should consider suspending the gpu while it's in use (time based or % usage based).... most Radeon cards run fine with very little lag while crunching.
