What sort of PPD do HD7950s do? I might be able to get a pair running if they'd do well.

hertz9753 · Sep 13, 2015

I have a HD7950 on my TC team. His record is 4,953,028 for one month.

We also have a folder that broke my record in the NVIDIA category with an EVGA GTX 960 FTW 2GB with 5,335,464.

Don't blame me if that link doesn't work.

Looks like it worked. You can roll your mouse over usernames and stats.

Buck I'm sorry that I didn't edit and I'm not trying to recruit.

Wonder how well a hex xeon could feed 2 or 3 video cards for folding. Just a few more months away.....

The one I'm running is doing 120-150k PPD. Think it's at 1040MHz core.

WELL THEN. What OS? Will they do this in Linux? And do they still sap an entire thread?

IIRC, only @agent00skid has gotten it working on Linux. It should, BTW. As for dedicating a CPU thread, AMD needs much less than Nvidia, but there are new cores coming out so that may change. In other words, you'd have to experiment to find the right settings. Windows 10 is very competitive with Linux for WCG, so for ease of use, I'd recommend W10. Overclocking, temperature monitoring etc., are going to be easier with W10.

Hmmmm....from my experience, running the WCG VINA WUs there's still nothing NEARLY as good as Linux. And that's what I'm doing; trying to get new badges for OET. I'll stick a HD7950 in the FX8 system to see how it goes :toast:

I do leave a thread for it. Haven't tested that one on linux, but I could probably try.

Well, bigger issue will be whether it'll fit. FX8350 is in a Sonata III which is quiet but not very roomy.

Holy crap. BAD airflow.

agent00skid · Sep 13, 2015

Oh well. FGLRX is being as expected, so can't test it. But if you are on Linux with an AMD card, then what I did was just install FGLRX and F@H and set up a GPU slot, and it just sort of worked.

Awful. With just the CPU OCed and a Geforce 210 or whatever, it does fine. A bit warm, but does well enough and it's reasonably quiet. In other words, perfect for the desk at work. And it was a $5 case from the charity I volunteer at, so it does the job for a GREAT price.

agent00skid · Sep 14, 2015

So woke up and realized I've got nothing to do, so I threw myself back at folding on the 7950 on Linux. It's working, and doing ~60k PPD on a WU that would probably do ~145k PPD on Windows.

Sooo. Weeell. Think the new Core 21 WU's are worse than the old 17, but probably would suggest not bothering with folding AMD on Linux. Too much trouble.

Thanks

It doesn't look like there's space in the Sonata 3 for one of these cards, yet alone two. Might be able to get one or both in the Windows 3770k system if I leave the top off....

4x ASUS Strix GTX 970 $250.00 shipped each

johnspack · Oct 13, 2015

I'm way out of the loop... perhaps thebluebumblebee could tell me... I just ordered a strix gtx970... how good of a folder is it? What is a good secondary maxwell card that's cheaper I could add?

In windows probably 250K ppd. A good GTX 960 will do about 140-150K PPD.

johnspack · Oct 13, 2015

Nice!!
Although according to that, 970s have a higher ppd per dollar ratio... bummer, Ill just have to get a 2nd one then.

mx500torid · Oct 13, 2015

Heres my Strix.

johnspack · Oct 13, 2015

Nice clocks... nice ppd... can't wait till I get mine....
Dam, 68c thats nuts... my 480 would prob hit 90....

Crunch time!!!

Would be awesome if some of our folding folks could lend a hand

TPU crunchers and folders are eligible for prizes if they are active during the challenge- some nice goods there so check them out in the 2nd post :cool:

Note for @BUCK NASTY - start time is less than 1 hour NOT 25 hours from now (you know why I tagged your name)

Every day I'm on it, but CPU only. I will try to get my 7850 to crunch. Never could before :banghead:

, but maybe with Windows 10 I'll have better luck

No gpu crunching available currently but a 7850 folds just fine

Teach me to look things up before I open my mouth. No GPU crunching at this time. (Or very likely it seems.) Meanwhile I'll keep crunching away with my CPU. (I did upgrade to an i5 since last year.)
