if your using the rig the first card will have lower points... And stopping crunching frees the CPU clocks for it to feed alittle more info to the GPUs

so everything is pretty normal?
are there flags, to minimize the cpu use, and to maximize output?

it works! both fold away, with the forcegpu and local commands;)
but....
on 353 point WU´s
i only get
5545 ppd
and
3860 ppd???
is this normal?
the clients seem to react a little better, if i stop crunching?
Are you running the console client? When you set it up, did you set the priority to low or idle. Low is actually higher than idle in F@H. Make sure both are set to low and WCG will scavenge an cycles left over.

I have my client set to Idle and it works great along with WCG :cool:

strangely enough.... both folders were set at 70% power? lol?
i never did that... what could be the reason for it beeing self adjusting?:wtf:

Okay, I am still extremely new to this, I have looked high and low for a guide to using the console client with 2 GPU's and cant really find anything, even the guide from F@H at Stanford say to use the systray :confused:

Does anyone have a link to a guide that I could use to get this set up again?

Also i took a couple of screenshots if that would help, sorry I'm a complete n00b about the whole thing so far

i never knew, you can sli different cores. you seem to be able to do it. tried that already?

I take it you've tried extending the display onto both cards (you either need 2 monitors or dummy plugs, there's a guide here for making dummy plugs)

Also, did you remember the -gpu0 and -gpu1 (might be -gpu 0 and -gpu 1) flags?
And are the machine IDs different (any numbers are fine as long as they aren't the same, so 1 and 12 would be just as good as 1 & 2 or 2 & 4)

Yes I have extended the desktop to the 2nd card, but I do not have a dummy plug. The machine id's are both different per the settings in actual F@H clients themselves.

And you mean where you create a shortcut on the desktop to the client and you add -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 to the target and start in boxes in the shortcut properties right?

yep, after the quotation marks indicating the .exe file, add -gpu 0 to the first GPU and -gpu 1 to the second :toast:

Yup, already did that as well. This is very frustrating since it worked just fine for the first day and a half and now is completely screwed up :banghead:

Try deleting both of the GPU folders, re-downloading the F@H GPU console client from Stanford, unzipping it, making 2 copies, and setting up the -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 flags in the configuration window (when it asks if you want to configure advanced settings or whatever, say yes and then in the extra flags place or whatever enter the gpu flags. and remember the machine IDs; the default is 2 so set at least 1 of them to something else)

Sometimes when something isn't working you just have to start from scratch

I agree with [Ion], delete all prior installs and re-install with the console client. You will see increased ppd and stability.

Okay, I have reinstalled using the console client only and am still getting the unstable_machine error. I did everything as said above and also tried just running the one client by itself after I got it setup. It is getting to 1 or 2% and then gives the error and starts looping

have you tried to underclock them?
does this solve the error?

Look at your display setup. It should list 4 different display monitors. Remember each one of those 8800GTS has 2 DVI outputs. The main GPU is the one your monitor is hooked up to and outputs are numbered 1 and 2, the secondary GPU will have outputs 3 and 4. Make sure you extend one of the secondary GPUs output and not the 2nd output from the main GPU otherwise you're trying to fold two cores on a single core GPU that's why you're getting the UNSTABLE_MACHINE error from one while the other is just fine;) This happened to me several times:banghead:

No I haven't tried that yet, however I tried it one more time and have a new error, it ran longer this time at least, it got to 10% :rolleyes:



This is different than the other errors that said unstable_machine as Ive never seen that NAMS detected on GPU before..

I really would like to help the cause and have some fun with my equipment but it's getting to where it is more trouble than its worth.. :banghead: :banghead:

Look at your display setup. It should list 4 different display monitors. Remember each one of those 8800GTS has 2 DVI outputs. The main GPU is the one your monitor is hooked up to and outputs are numbered 1 and 2, the secondary GPU will have outputs 3 and 4. Make sure you extend one of the secondary GPUs output and not the 2nd output from the main GPU otherwise you're trying to fold two cores on a single core GPU that's why you're getting the UNSTABLE_MACHINE error from one while the other is just fine;) This happened to me several times:banghead:

Yeah I checked that too, however it is BOTH clients that are giving me the UNSTABLE_MACHINE error.

CariolinaKSU, are you running XP drivers based on your GPU-Z screen shot? Also try removing the GPU's from the PCI slots and re-installing the cards.

Correct, since I'm using XP on this rig :p

Could it be that I'm using really new drivers and F@H just doesnt like this particular release? And if so, do you know of a version that works best for folding? I could care less about gaming as this box is just being used as a server anyway

i would say, the best would be, to work your way down, too see, if it might make any differences. with ATI drivers, it happened every 2 updates:laugh:

182.50 is supposed to be the best for XP, the only reason I'm using 192.62 is Nvidia didn't have the 182 drivers for Windows 7. However, on my old XP box, I ran the 182.50 drivers for tri-GPU folding
