New beta Rig

Hello TPU!

I'm playing around with a new rig, not big deal config:

A8N SLI Deluxe
Athlon 64 3000+
1Gb mem
2 x ATI HD 3850
Win Vista32 for now



The PPD I'm getting is stupid - 2K for 2 cards (3850). My question is about CPU usage with GPU usage. The cpu is single core and 1 GPU is getting more CPU usage than the other GPU. Result:

GPU_Zero is folding @ around 50% GPU usage. Getting 919 PPD.

GPU_One is folding @ around 85% GPU usage. Getting 1251 PPD.

What is the best solution when you are folding 2 Vid. cards with a single core CPU?

I'm asking 'cos all my other rigs are dual core.

Thanks

Hello my Province neighbor!

The error you got happens when the Stanford Servers are busy or maintenance. All you can really do is wait.

My idea with the new rig is use my 2 ATI HD 3870X2 I have. With 4 GPUs @ 2K PPD each = 8K PPD - That's the dream at least.

Cheers

New Rig

So, I did some modifications...

Now running on XP and folding with ATI HD 3870X2 and HD 3850.

ATI came out with a "Special" Client, that's the one I'm using at the moment:

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg...wnloadATI.html

Is too early for reporting results, will report tomorrow, to all you "hard folders"

Seriously, The GTX 260 now is the best bang for the buck overall. I have not heard if the 216 sp unit is any better than the 192 sp. Some of those cards are putting out 8K+ PPD

I would say the 9600GSO - that gets around 4k, at a guess the 8800GTS maybe 3K~ish

C'mon Buck! Give me a break. Sunday morning, and you ask me for results at 9AM????

About you selling your nVidia farm: I'll send you all my ATI Cards and you give your nVidia's. ...hehehe

OK, seriously talking is still too early and I guess Stanford is picking on me!!

Out of 8 video cards folding, I have at the moment 7 folding 511 points WU!!

Resuming:

HD 3870X2 (2 cores folding) = 2738 PPD (both folding 511 points WU)

HD 3850 = 1219 PPD (folding 511 points WU also).

My folding isn't going 100% anyways 'cos now I'm playing like nutsy people!!! GTA IV and CoD 5 are killing me!!

Arrgghhh, want to join, but F@H crashes my whole system. It gives me a driver error (stopped responding) even on low clock speeds when all other programs run stable. I'll give it another go tomorrow

I just got an answer to my question forget the 9600GSO and 8800GTS(G80) and get a 9800GT for my main rig and put the 8800GT in my 2nd rig. That would pwn a 9600GSO and a 8800GTS G80

Good job stanhemi!

Looking at your fahmon I noticed that your cpu client has a 119pt WU.

That's because your setup "bigpackets=normal"

Open your cpu client folder, find "client.cfg" file, open it with notepad and change to "bigpackets=big". Save the file and Bingo!!

The next WU you will get is a 749 points WU!
