ATI should have a newly optimized core coming out soon. Remember, the current core only uses 320 of the 800 shaders, as it was created for the HD 3000 series.
Oh. Thanks for the info. I was wondering why I was only getting a few extra PPD than someone with a 3870 Cant wait for the new client! I am probably gonna get at least a 100% increase huh!

Even at stock the 9800GTX should be getting 6000+ easily and the 280 should be at around 8000.

No, XP64 gives me best performance overall, beats xp32 and vista64. And no, I didn't have the 9800 oced, I should of.. and both cards folding at once drain my athlon bad... 100% usage on one core, I can't figure out how to make it balance out, arg. So I end up folding on the 9800gtx in the day, and the 280 at night.

cant you assign the processor affinity to each GPU core?

Yay! At least i've passed the 100 WU's and 115k points (99% of them in SMP-mode) ... these last 6 weeks have been incredible, my OC in Linux is extremely stable and brings out the best folding i could do, always in SMP and no freezes, memory's management is great and no hang-ups with games or something. This 2.6.27 kernel is ACE!

4Ghz folding almost 24/7 FTW!!! Keep Folding team

PS: 86% completed of a WU with 3340 of score, WOW!
PS(2): When GPU clients will be supported on GNU/Linux?

There was promise of x2 support with the current ATI core, but i believe it has not been nowhere near as successful as they had hoped for. Alot of people complain that their X2's won't fold the 2nd core. There is talk of a Beta core on the forums. Check the linky below for updates:

Something is really wrong and I can't find it
Dump that System Tray Client and get the Console Client. Leaving the viewer open kills PPD. The Console Client has no viewer, u just monitor via Fahmon. Try closing the viewer and see if PPD increases.

F@H is working on a Linux GPU client, but it's still in development with no promises on timeframe.

I agree with POS pc and Infared. That 9800GTX should be getting 6K+ PPD. Why don't you send the GTX to Uncle Buck's house for the Holidays. Oh, the dirty things I would put it through....
Are you sure you have the flags set correctly for the GPU's? It almost looks like both clients are running on the same card.

Back ONLINE!!!

I was catching up the last pages of our forum...

My internet and home phone went down Saturday morning ...until now!!!

Fuc@#@#$#%&&**#@# BELL CANADA!! I HATE YOU!!!

OK, life goes on! Rigs running now, except my GTX 260 rig.

HELP NEEDED!!!

My pc running vista32 with GTX 260, latest VGA drivers - Installed and uninstalled and cleaned and installed again - but still with problem:

WHEN I'M RUNNING F@H OR EVEN GAMES, THE VIDEO CARD IS STUCK AT THE IDLE VALUES - LIKE GPU = 300MHZ.

MY RIVATUNER OC OPTIONS ARE DISABLED - WON'T LET ME USE

ANY IDEAS?

This is the only setting for cores I see, and I think this should be the best setting, although I've tried it both ways, no difference, both just run on the same cpu core... frustrating, the other cpu core can be as low as 0%, still both clients just run on core1 of my cpu.

I've done lock and don't lock.. if I could spread the load, I could use both cards!?
Oh, and if I start it on my 9800gtx, I watch rivatuner and the gpu temp jumps, I check my 280, no change, if I start my 280, same thing in reverse. Remember, x2 athlon here, why do you think I'm dreaming of a p45 xmas?

Your losing valuable time & points. I have 4x 8800GS folding on one core of a BE2400 @ 2.3GHZ and SMP running on the other core @ 5200+ PPD each. You can easily handle the GTX 280 and the 9800GTX on the same core of that 5600+. To top it off, throw SMP on the other core.

Have you run a driver cleaner in between uninstall/installs????

Don't forget, this is my gaming and entertainment box too, it has many things to do, I just let it use idle cycles to fold. At night I oc my 280 and let it rip. I find even folding on the 9800 can cause problems with my tv tuner ect, so I've got to let it be a night thing mostly. When I build my intel rig, I'll have this athlon thing to fold 24/7 heheh! I might try that smp for a kick though...

I can understand that. I turned my HTPC into a 24/7 folder and have'nt watched a Blu-Ray in months. I'm finally taking the cards out of it and loading up another Quad GPU rig. I really missed my HTPC...

I hate having to admit this, but is true! Vista System Restore did a good job! I went back couple of days when my rig was running smooth and BINGO!

Back folding at 7K+ PPD!

EDIT:



TPU HAS NOW A 3 MILLION POINTS USER!!!
CONGRATULATIONS BUCK NASTY!!
YOU ARE FLYING!!! I MEAN FOLDING HIGH!!

Just minimize the window and let Fahmon do it's thing. I only open the Console window to check the core version.
