I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an MSI NF980-G65. Only have two 9800GX2s plugged in at the moment as I'm moving parts around. CPU is an Athlon II X4 620. I'm using nVidia 196.34 drivers.
First off, this forum topic says you can fold with SLI enabled and no dummy plugs. But when I try it, I get EUE errors up the wazoo, cards overclocked or not. I need to have SLI disabled, SLI bridge removed, and dummy plugs in place to fold error-free. My shortcut parameters look like this:
"C:\FAH\GPU\Folding@home.exe" -forcegpu nvidia_g80 -gpu 4
What's going on there?
Secondly, when I fire up SMP, my GPU folding goes to hell. In this image, where GPUs 1, 2, and 4 (especially 4) drop in GPU usage is when I turned on the SMP client. First there's a little blip while SMP ensures its status, and then when it gets to work, GPU folding takes a hit:
Should I have Do NOT lock specific cores to CPU checked in the GPU clients or not?
By the way, I'm using the "regular" SMP client, no VMWare or any of that, as I never could get it to function properly.
Sorry for what probably amounts to dumb questions.
