Folding in Linux

mx500torid · Oct 24, 2014

Hopefully there is someone that can do a write up for beginners to get folding working on linux. It had been talked about in the forum but it gets buried and hard to find. Maybe this way with its own thread we can find it easier. Thanks in advance.

I may do one when my new card comes in, had to shut down the Fermis last month for good and those were the ones on Linux.

We need to get this moving. I will set up a Linux rig and see if I can house both GTX970's in it.

OMG. I have scrapped 5 installs over the last 2 nights! I have never been this frustrated in my lifetime :banghead:

. I'm done for tonight(5+ hours fighting with it today) and will start fresh tomorrow.

Something I'm running into is terrible difficulty installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers. Not very easy at all. F@H will not recognize the GTX 970's.

I didn't have to install the drivers. Cuda did it for me.
I followed (you'll need to get the current version of the Cuda toolkit): http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/how-to-install-opencl-for-f-h-ubuntu.202050/#post-3122894

Ok, got the 970 overclocked to 1503Mhz and she's producing 308K PPD. Can only overclock 1 card right now(wonky x-server settings), but the rig is producing 556K+ PPD now. Might be able to pick up another 30-40K PPD with the 2nd card overclocked(if I can figure our how to do it)

I may be able to mod your BIOSes if needed, I modded my Zotac's to 1468/2000 with a custom voltage table too.
