When you ran install.bat, did you allow all processes that came up through your firewall?

Sometimes you will be bumped up or down in the mix of performance and demand depending on machine capabilaties, and unit turn time.


For example my work machine is folding one that is not listed yet. And has higher memory demands than other units I have had.

WTF I rebooted and it works. I set it to use 60% of my CPU, I do not want to stress it out

 

[Jess Stingray]

If it's only using 60%, you'd better leave it on 24hrs, or you won't make deadlines. If you do, it'll be not much tme left.

 

[hat]

I bumped it to 80%--and yes, it is 24 hours.

If everyone switches to SMP, who does all the work units for the old core? It says in the FAQ that SMP does not do old WU's.

 

[sneekypeet]

Just something Ive noticed for a bit....Maybe its possible and maybe its not, but how about an update of the TECHPOWERUP logo....Something newer to reflect the new design?????

 

[Solaris17]

does it give you an error i got an erroor that said missing work files in this case reinstall and do it all over.

 

[imperialreign]

I had that happen once . . . I think what had happened for me, though, was I ran a disk cleanup utility for duplicate and 0-sized files, etc. I gave the list a quick glance and nothing seemed important or odd, so I just hit 'clean'.

it took a couple of work files with it . . .

 

[Steevo]

Let it be.



If you have missing work files it is usually as it needs to download a set for a specific project.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Or because it just screwed up and deleted them. Or they may be corrupt. Or your little brother might have deleted them thinking it was some kind of thing that would be fun to delete.

59% of my first SMP WU is done.

Well, my quad-core machine is down, so it is really killing my numbers. I've given up on catching Steevo. I am just going to let my numbers break 1,000,000 points then take a few machines off folding for a while and just leave the Core 2 Duo machines and my Quad-Core once it is back up and running.

 

[Athlon2K15]

anyone have any idea whats going on with the GPU client and the new HD series of video cards? i tried to use mine as a candidate for folding and it doesnt seem to support it

 

[imperialreign]

the 2Ks series aren't supported yet - I haven't heard anything yet as to if and or when they will be . . .

AS far as I know, only the 1900/1950s are. Maybe the 1800 series, not sure on that, either.

 

[newtekie1]

No folding on the HD2000 series yet, only the x1K series(x1300XT-x1950XTX).

 

[imperialreign]

No folding on the HD2000 series yet, only the x1K series(x1300XT-x1950XTX).

Not all the X1k series . . . I couldn't get the GPU client to even initiate on a X1300 or a X1650.

Anyhow, my rig has been down from folding for a while - been testing CPU OCs and this P4 doesn't like F@H when over 4GHz. Also been holding off on the GPU client . . . I've got two sticks of DRAM I need to RMA - but I've just been procastinating on sending them out. Hopefully, I can get thing back up and folding soon.

 

[Jess Stingray]

OK guys, I'm back to take my place as Folding Guru. Shoot me your questions and problems.

 

[newtekie1]

Not all the X1k series . . . I couldn't get the GPU client to even initiate on a X1300 or a X1650.

I've got it running on an x1300XT, which is really an x1600Pro. I've also had it running on the my x1650Pro. It will work on the lower end x1K series, but it will be very very slow. The x1300XT was just barely fast enough to meet deadlines.

 

[imperialreign]

but, isn't the GPUs different between a X1300 and a X1300 XT?

anyhow, maybe it was just my setup - I would open the GPU client, and as soon as it tried to initiate any work it closed out. It's possible the client itself had timed out or something - anyway, it works great with my 1950, though.

 

[Jess Stingray]

The GPU client is only officially supported by X1600+ cards.

 

[newtekie1]

but, isn't the GPUs different between a X1300 and a X1300 XT?

Yes, the x1300XT uses the same core as the x1650 cards(RV535). Which is why it works on the x1300XT, which is what I said, I never said it worked on the x1300. It only officially works on x1600 cards and higher, however it does work on the x1300XT because it is essentially an x1650.

 

[imperialreign]

yeah, I understand - it gets a little confusing when ATI put one GPU on a certain low-end model, and then a different GPU on a higher-end model in the same series

Question, though, as I havne't looked into it too much . . . is it possible to run two GPU clients if you have more than one installed, and how does xFire affect F@H, or is it not implemented?

 

[Jess Stingray]

One client - If you use Crossfire, it'll automatically split workload between the cards. The client was designed on a Crossfire system, I believe.

 

[black light burns]

there is also one for multi GPU so it will fold on both

F@H SMP is not listening to my config settings. I have it set up to use only 90% CPU and it is using 100% anyway. What do I do? When I look in the config file, it says 90%.

-ed: If it matters, I'm using Windows XP Professional x64.
