I can't see where you're seeing the possible issue Bogi.

NVM....I looked at it again and it could possibly be that it is not showing the whole directory:banghead: Hey as long as it works it's good:D

Starting to piss me off now:



GPU-0 runs, but GPU-1 gives errors and 'conflicts'

Does it say something like "We're sorry but at this present time your GPU is not supported....... Etc"?

Ooo this ones easy, we're almost fixed. I think we got most of the problems worked out so far. Ready? Set?

Ok, go to the shortcut for GPU1 and add the flag -configonly .

Now do the machine set up again, all settings you can leave as is, so just hit yes to change the advanced settings when it asks. Right around the end of it it will ask about Machine IDs. Set it to 1 or 3-16. It appears GPU0 is set to Machine ID 2 (the default) and only one console can have that machine ID. So on each computer you can have a maximum of 16 of these consoles running. Anyways after this edit the shortcut again to remove the configonly flag and you're done. You should be folding on 2 cards now.

I'm just glad that I had that last issue about 8 times before I found out for myself. That seared it into my brain. I'm going to be 80 and wake up screaming 'OH GOD THE MACHINE IDs'!!!

This just means that it hasn't completed enough frames (1%) to get an accurate estimate. Fahmon is set (default) to calculate PPD on the last 3 frames completed. 3 frames have to have been completed in the current session, so if you start at 21% you won't get a PPD estimate until 24%. If you go to Tools and then options (or preferences, I can't remember) then one of the tabs in there will talk about basing the estimate off 3 frames. You can set this to just one, so each time it does 1% it will update your PPD. I recommend leaving it at 3 seeming some of the new work units don't have even progression. In other words 1% could take 2 minutes, or it could take 7.

Another option I recommend you set while in here is how often the Fahmon window refreshes. I think its default 3 minutes, but I set mine to 1 so its almost always up to date.

Also, yep your card is looking to be cranking away without issue. :toast:

Right, got it. Thanks alot man!

Currently i'm on 9,500 PPD :p

I'm not going to run these overnight till later in the year.

If i could find two 8800GT full cover Waterblocks for cheap, i'd add them to my loop. This PA120.3 is overkill for just my Q9550... lol

Hey I got it!! I wouldn't think the shortcut details were that important.

Now lets just see if this PSU can really handle Crunching on the CPu and Folding on two GPUs.

Fit-I've found out that folding with 295's you have to use the HDMI port as your primary display output and the second DVI as your secondary. Try that and see if it gets rid of the EUE's. And this is one of the reasons I sold mine:rolleyes:

dammit...

just got a single pcb 295 and the 2nd core gets UNSTABLE_MACHINE as soon as it starts folding. cant even get 1%.

i've done every trick the 295s need and its not working.

im using 1 lcd and 1 dongle. there is no HDMI on this card so thats not an issue.

any ideas?

Fit-make sure the machine ID #'s are different from each other. You can do this by reconfiguring your clients.

I like how there are 5 references to that article on HWC, and 4 of them are from us.
