Anybody ever have any problems with a HDMI cable? I'm using a HDMI cable (the one that came with the card) from my 480 to my monitor and I was getting artifacts every once in awhile. I thought it was the card messing up. A friend suggested I try a different cable so I bought one on the way home and hooked it up and now no artifacts everything looks good so far. Been running like this for over 2 hours with no artifacts showing on the screen. I know it's not running HOT as this is a water cooled card that runs high 30's to mid 40's all the time.. Volts are 1050V @ 800/1600/1848 been set like that since the first day. Any suggestions, query's or thoughts on this..

I would have thought that the artifacts originated from the card but a bad connection can give all sorts of problems so why not artifacts as well. Let´s hope they stay away from now on.

+1 yep I hate to do an RMA with my best folding card right now. I already took a bad hit from the last week or so since it's been screwing up.

theonedub · Oct 21, 2010

Ive had a cheap cable drop signal before but not artifact.

My fan speed is set to 72%, but once I saw it at 82C I adjusted the fan profile to 82%, but the temps did not change on that WU. The 611 its on now is doing 79C.

Well, I pushed my clocks up to 950, and they weren't stable (at least at 1.15v) :ohwell:

Had an EUE pause while I was having dinner, so that's a no-go.

And, I'm back to getting 611s for only 7.8k PPD (vs 14k)

grunt_408 · Oct 21, 2010

Sign me up. Let me know what i need to fold for tpu. Got 2 here that could fold.

Does this happen to the GTX460?

SMP guide in the essentials thread, it's out of date and I'm going to re-write whenever I have time

PPD still drops, but not by 50%. IIRC it gets around 10k on the 611s

how much does a gtx-280 spit out a day?

yeah i got one earlier too, 9k

iirc ~10.5k at stock and 12-13k oced

well alittle googling says i'm wrong. i found ~7k ppd but that seems really low

(FIH) The Don · Oct 21, 2010

thats not so bad, but id rather get a 450 then, around same price used and like half the power usage for the 450 lol

I think those numbers are pretty much spot on. I folded with a GTX 280 and 285 (only for a couple days) and there was only a minor improvement over the 275. Makes sense since mem doesnt really impact PPD hard and both cards rock 240 shaders

Fitseries3 · Oct 21, 2010

my 2 sr2's at work are still running. i did switch them to bigadv but they have yet to get a big WU from the server.

home machine is down due to me moving and having no net at new place yet.

I agree with Ion and theonedub.

I think your systems keep EUEing, you'll need to qualify a new passkey (the current one is probably too far gone at this point).

If you don't maintain at least an 80% success rate, you'll get no bonuses, and I think you've completely blown that.

A new passkey would probably be best, I'd lower the clocks as well so they don't keep EUEing

mstenholm · Oct 21, 2010

My 450 is starting to get NAN´s at a slight OC. After five I had to reinstall the client and lower the OC but then I got three on the same WU (10632, 16, 115, 15). Now I run it at default clocks. 8 hours wasted.

EDIT: It was not enough to delete the entire folding directory and re-install. I kept getting the same one and it kept throw errors at me. I had to re-install and change the machine ID.

[Ion] · Oct 21, 2010

Wow..sounds like a bad WU. I'd go over to the FoldingForum and report it

In the mean time, both of my GPUs have the worst WUs possible :shadedshu

I'm down not quite 8k PPD total

Chicken Patty · Oct 21, 2010

Guys about how much will two 450's put out stock? Also what about power draw compared to a gtx 295 let's say? I appreciate the help, at work right now

[Ion] · Oct 21, 2010

Mine does between 7.5k (611pt WUs) and 14k (9XX PT WUs). Mostly it's been on the 9XXs, but it's had about half a dozen 611s now.

TDP @ stock is 106w, so I'd assume no more than 250w for the pair folding w/ a slight OC/OV

Optimizing folding@home, especially smp and bigadv

Hello everyone. I've made the move to folding on a ram disk a month ago, and must say to everyone who care about it's ppd, it is the way to go!!! Around 3500-4000 ppd more only on the bigadv, 1000-2000 on smp and a few hundreds more on gpu2. I'm using DataRam ramdisk software, and it took maybe 5 minutes to copy everything and complete setup. A 512 mg disk is just fine, never seen it full. But having more than 4 gb of ram seems a must, as i'm using a hair more than 4gb, so adding (or removing to be precise) 512 mb will impact global performance if you're short on memory. Just my two cents to share!

I'm currently folding on 6 client at a time, so if someone fold on maybe one or two client, it could be done even on a 4gb system. Just check your ram while folding, and see if your system can afford 512mb less.

mstenholm · Oct 21, 2010

Thanks. I will give it a go on my next i7 build.

Wow, that's amazing!

How did you set it up? And can it auto-back up to disk? I reboot fairly frequently

I'll see if it's possible on my i7 setup, even w/ only 2GB

Feänor · Oct 21, 2010

As long as you choose to reboot, i.e. your sytems don't crash or bsod, it'll backup everything. Personnally, when i close my system, i just clic on reboot or close, i don't close all my client manually, and windows does all the job for me. Never had any problem of any kind with that.

BUT, because there is a but, if your systems crash, you'll lose everything you've done since the last time you started your computer. I've learned this the hard way when i used folding for testing my i7's OC.

[Ion] · Oct 21, 2010

I haven't had a crash in quite a while....if it's reboot safe, I'll definitely investigate!

Thanks! :toast:

Well my PPD will be down for today and maybe tomorrow

Got my new i7/board yesterday and thought I would save some time today, and just pulled the 2 GTX460's from the other machine.

Installed all parts into a case, and setup my water loop, pressed start and.....nothing :confused:

:shadedshu :banghead:

Kind of pissed off ATM, I knew I should have checked first just set up on the box, will have to start pulling parts, but dont have the time (and also have a banging migraine)

Hopefully have this up and running by tomorrow, fingers crossed.
