I just joined the team! It's time to put this 4770k and 7850 to work!

I think that 4770k would be a nice addition to our WCG Challenge going on, links in sig.

(cpus are better for crunching than folding, right guys)

But yeah, get that 7850 folding for the team, we'd definitely appreciate that! :respect:

Are you getting any new jobs? My two 970 was haging in their downloads (beta) so I re-stated without that flag and finally got one 9201. I started up my 680 and it began to download but stopped after 5-10 min (78%). I gave up on FAH "support forum" yesterday, again. Just a head up for you to check your rigs.

You were on that that thread that my post got edited but not deleted.

That's all I have to say about that... I'm the guy that called out the staff.

Hello all, long time no posting here but I do need your advice or guidance. I folded quite a lot in the past (mainly 2008-2009) ... my last 2012-2013 efforts were dedicated to WCG. After a year of being unable to fold/crunch ... now I'm a little back in the game and I needed some help if possible.

Some days ago I was lurking about combining WCG work and F@H work, also about the passkey so I got it and started folding partially with the GTX 770 to see its performance and also test my whole rig, nice PPD rate with Core 0x18 ... and not scoring so much yet, mostly I think due to the bonus thing not being activated till 10 WU's completed, but the card really blasts data. The thing is Core 0x17 is another story, goes really slow on GTX 770 but not as in HD6850, with that one I can take 3 days to complete a 0x17 WU (at least it says so)

Currently not running any CPU dedicated to F@H as i'm 100% with WCG challenge but just to know, maybe Core 0x17 needs one CPU dedicated to F@H? Is there a way I can only select works from Core 0x18?

Many thanks in advance to all of you :toast:

Part of the problem with the slow core17 is driver version. You need to go back to 327.xx (correct me if I'm wrong). The other part is that you should dedicate a core to FAH if you are running WCG at the same time. Core18 "needs" a core too....

Is is a Core_17 P9411 work unit? I started getting these late last night in Linux. They make the GTX 970's work harder and the points are approx the same(P9201 - 300k vs P9411 - 290K PPD). Each WU takes me about 7 hrs to complete. I have noticed a driver crash at previously stable clocks(1503Mhz).

I just have the GTX 770 since less than one month ago, got it via amazon 2nd hand "as new" ... so the only driver version of NVIDIA I used was 347.52 as far as I know, but thanks for that info. Nice to know also they do need a dedicated thread in CPU, as soon as the WCG challenge ends I'll try that. Regarding the HD6850 performance with Core 0x17 it's just a matter of the lack of a thread in the CPU now? Or is it also driver version?

@BUCK NASTY nope, the HD6850 0x17 unit was acquired 2 days ago and it's P13000 (just checked it)

With the NVIDIA GTX770 last 4-5 WU's that were assigned to me were from Core 0x18

Thanks again to both of you =)

Good news and bad news. Found a great deal on a couple 7850 cards, bad news no place to put them. Got a 660ti and a hd7770 just sitting here so made a deal for a couple combos today. So might have a little more ppd soon.

Hey, I tried joining the challenge when I got up this morning. Got Boinc Installed but I get an error massage saying that there is no work available? Am I missing something? Am I to late to join the crunching fest?
I guess I'll just continue folding for now.

I wanted to join last night, but fell asleep on the couch (this thing is evil) after super.

There is no GPU work avail as of now on WCG. You have to install F@H to get work on your GPU.

mx500torid · Feb 28, 2015

hmmm weird could you post a screenshot maybe someone can help. Does boinc have access to your internet? When you configure Boinc only set the cpu to use 90% cores 100% of the time that way 1 core will be available for Folding.

Nice shot of the dog btw. Looks like the dog at our neighbors at the cabin. Very friendly and loves water.

Everything working fine now. It was the server maintenance that was at cause. My 7850 is folding and my i7 is crunching. Fans are running full blast, CPU stays at 40 celcius (that dark rock pro2 is a heck of a cooler), gpu at 55 celcius. (ambient temp is 24 Celcius)

Thanks for the dog comment, she'a a good dog, but she is afraid of water and she is oblivious to any toys, probably the first owner is at fault. I got her in a pet shelter. Yours looks like ma parents dog.

Mine was a stray and has been hit by a car. Vet wanted to put him to sleep but i said no way. Come to find out all was wrong was a broken right front leg, stupid vet.. He looks a cross between a chi and a groundhog. lol

That's me all folded out till the end of my vacation, see you all in a few weeks

switching off now sadly

I'm off skiing here in the land of perpetual drought. Had to switch off my folding box since I was getting nothing but "BAD WORK UNIT". Will try again Sunday night.

SirKeldon · Mar 1, 2015

Despite I unhabilited a core in the "Survivor" rig for WCG and let it free for F@H GPU work, the 6850 still reports a TPF of 1h 1min for the unit i'm currently processing ... and a 3.5 days ETA (WU is at 27.58%) .... Is something related with Core 0x17 or the 6850 is really that slow? Should I try to install another Catalyst drivers? (using Omega 14.12)

Weird thing is when I went to bed yesterday night GPU was really active... now it appears as it's not performing any job these last 2 hours as its temperature and loads are like in idle, I feel a little bit lost!

Sounds like it got stuck. I'd suggest you restart the client.

The progress was still going on, went till 28%. Though that, I followed your advice and rebooted the whole computer. So I started again F@H client and guess what, the WU % was at 15% again, and I do have 15min checkpoint, can't understand why it was just at 15% ...

Now i'm trying to fold without WCG on and lowered the OC at the card to 875MHz/1100MHz (though some weeks ago in OCCT and FurMark was able to hold 940/1200MHz, was watercooled then) ... let's see if the performance is better and it does not get stuck, first 15 minutes were mostly the same as before, i'll give it some hours though =)

PS: CPU is @ stock speed, and crunches perfectly stable, so I guess it's out of the fail equation

thebluebumblebee · Mar 1, 2015

WCG has very little effect on Folding with an AMD GPU. I'd rather have you crunching now during the Challenge. :oops:

Folding stable clocks are normally lower than any other testing method's stable clocks. If a GPU can handle Folding at a certain OC, it can handle anything.
BTW, about the 28%, I think the progress counter keeps on counting even if the client has "died". Therefore, it can get a ways ahead of where the last check point was.

Thanks for that helpful information, the OC one precisely and also the counter one, I'd control it again and if fails, I'd go to OC stock settings (is the DirectCU V2 model, so pumps up till 790/1000MHz in factory settings)

Btw, don't worry about the crunching, just "Survivor" threads were paused temporarily, the other 12 threads are on and now that you say me that, i'm gonna turn 3 more from "Survivor" again

Thanks another time =)

PS: You made me check free-dc now for WCG, you're in top of me at today's last update, keep the challenge on!!!

EDIT: OMG, @Knoxx29 syndrome has came, lost my F@H badge too? :roll:

In addition to this comment, my 750ti's can game at 1525mhz each. They can only fold at 1325mhz. It is a very good stability test.
