Who's folding on ATI???
It is messing with my CPU client. And thats with the appropriate environment variables.
CPU@3.5ghz
GPU@725mhz

CPU alone = 9000-10000 PPD
CPU+GPU = 3000 PPD CPU
3000 PPD GPU

According to HFM.

I guess i'll have to concentrate on CPU only.

Anyone having the same problem??

I just posted mine two posts ago, I got a 5770 going.

When I get home today, I'll go on about getting both 5770's to crunch, boost the output for the team a bit . They are in crossfire so one is not crunching at the moment.

GPU client works fine, but getting 3500 PPD on a 5850 sucks.

That, unfortunately, is what ATi owners must put up with (at least for now), I switched my HD5670 out for a G80 8800GTS just for F@H, it's about equal in games but easily holds 3.5-4x the PPD

So I set-up one of my i7 920 crunchers to fold using -bigadv.
I checked how much ram was showing in windows (6 GB) and then un-installed Boinc. I then followed the steps Bog outlined and got it running (or so I thought). It would start running and then stop. I had to re-start the computer as it kept freezing
I then opened Task Manager and realized it said that I had 4 GB
I then looked in windows and it stated that I had 6 GB (4 useable)...
CPUz showed 6 GB. It was late and I had to be at work at 7:00 am, so I quit for the night.

This was going to be the only i7 920 out of the three that was going to run -bigadv as my other two rigs only have 4 GB's each.
I will get the other two set-up tonight (hopefully) with SMP2. This sure is a lot more work to get set-up than WCG (Boinc)

When you get to the VMWare window before you "play" the image, go to edit and increase your allocated memory from 4600 to 4800 and you should not have anymore freezing. Also, try to enable RAMdisk on the online configuration that way the image will use some of your unused HDD space instead of the RAM when it needs more memory. All of my 920's have 12GB of RAM so naturally I do not have this issue

Is there any way to tell it which WU's to run (ie higher ppd ones) or are they just assigned randomly?
ATM the i7 is fluctuating from 9k ppd on some wu's to 18k ppd on others, shouldn't it be the same for all WU's?

Run the install.bat as an admin.

I was able to up the RAM to 4800 and enable RAMdisk (although it stated it was experimental):



Going to give her another try...

Okay - I am about done with this stupid shit~!

After I hit submit, here is what I got:

Don't have a clue what any of that means

Then after some time of no CPU usage (but memory peaking through the roof) I get this message:


Actually that was not the pic I was looking to post, but I forgot I couldn't use screenshot because the system was soooooooo freak'n unresponsive. I coulndn't even shut her down, had to use the power button AGAIN

Is my ram causing this? Did I set this up wrong? Am I just retarded (don't answer that)
When folding with the cpu, is the GPU (8400gs in this rig) being used at all?
How do you shut the VM off once started?

I take it I should wipe everyting and load the SMP2...
I am really mad that this rig is not crunching (like it has been for over 5 months solid)

I was thinking of re-installing Win 7 64 to try and fix the stupid RAM issue (Windows states I have 6 GB, but only 4 useable; while CPUz shows 6 GB). Would I be able to run the -bigadv then????

I could ask more questions, but will try to refrain at this point

Yeah, even with environment variables installed, the ATI client kills my CPU client. I have only switched the ATI client off since I downloaded a brand new cpu work unit about 2 hours ago, and already the cpu ppd increased enough that my overall ppd is the same as with the ATI client running.

@ Hammer

Check this out:

From the VMWare window get your IP for the config.....



Then fire up your browser and enter the IP on the address bar.....



Follow all the checks the I have on mine and don't forget to put a check on the "reboot on submit" to make the changes take effect.

Finish product...

Too late
I went ahead and changed the settings through the browser to "un-selected Bigadv" and selected "Advmethods". So far she is running really nice (although I have no idea as the FAH box tells me nothing):

No worries....you can always go back to this if you decide to change to bigadv

No shit - tell me about it

I have been a cruncher for over a year and it is easy to install and run~
This is totally different. However I want to help our team succeed in this challange.

I personally do not have a good grasp on the bonus point system on the SMP2 (Core A3) but the bigadv could net you somewhere between 50K-65K points with the bonus (depending on your OC) in a 48 hour period on one rig . If you have multiple i7 920's like msgclb and you run bigadv on all of them......you get the picture

Yeah that would be great; however I only have 4 GB of RAM on two of my systems.

Tomorrow I will start using the -bigadv flag. Can I still use Firefox while running those WUs or does it really max out all resources?

To display the progress of FAH at the command prompt type: [tail -f fah-out.log]

root@FAH:~# tail -f fah-out.log

'tail -f' outputs a file but does not return to the command prompt. To stop this process you need to type: [^C]

Now you're back to the FAH command prompt. When you want to shutdown FAH you would type: [shutdown -h now]
