TPU's F@H Team

[mstenholm]

i need someone to check out my folding settings through teamviewer,i got both clients setup but i think there folding the same WU,PM me for info

Been there. Remember to add the -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 flags. I believe that [Ion] have sorted that out with you by now.

 

[[Ion]]

It's working right, he had it correct

 

[mstenholm]

According to http://www.hardfolding.com/fh_stats/index.php?pz=109&tnum=50711 we have the record for one days production last year (11-23-09). That was 1,223,092.

I think we beat that record today!

JSTN7477, GPU tracker only detects the GT220, so therefore it's going to assign it to -gpu 0 by default. The GPU client from Stanford is also bad at detecting ATI GPU's in a mixed system. Therefore you MUST force the client to detect and expect an ATI GPU (-forcegpu ati_r700) at -gpu 0 (the first slot) and change the GT220 to -gpu 1 (the second slot). Make sure the machine id's are different. -forceasm has to do with the CPU for some AMD CPU's a long time ago, so don't use it with a GPU.

I just deleted the WUs and benchmarks for GPU 0 and GPU 1. I set GPU 0 to ati_r700 and started it. The GT 220 then started folding.

GPU 1 just crashes no matter what I set it to (g80 or r700).

I guess my HD 5770 is completely invisible to F@H?

I was planning to swap RAM in my rigs after I uploaded my 2685 but then I got a 2692 and decide that it could wait 1.51 day

The new rig is still being run in doing crunching. If it has been good all night I will give it a go on some real action tomorrow morning

 

[[Ion]]

Awesome

 

[mstenholm]

Yes indeed the bigadv god(s) are smiling upon me

 

[[Ion]]

That they are....I take it your overall PPD is going to be close to 100k w/ both rigs going?

 

[mstenholm]

I'm doing 60k now and I think that the other one could do around 30k + 17k on my work rig (GPU3) so yes +100k on a good day.

Edit: I think that I will be right in my prediction about the team will have the best day ever today - in the last 6 updates (last one yet to come) we had -bigadv in 5!

 

[[Ion]]

Yeah...today should be incredible for us. Even if we don't have any more bigadv WUs today, it should still be very impressive

 

[NastyHabits]

Pardon my ignorance, but if one finishes a -bigadv unit in less than the "preferred deadline", don't you get the bonus points? Or does it take a bit to show up. I completed a 2684 and should have slammed some serious points up on the board.

I know it's not all about the points, but I'd hate to pay the electric bill in vain.

As long as it's finished uploading by the preferred deadline (even minutes before) you get bonuses

IIRC w/ bonuses the least you can get is ~47k for it

Hasn't shown up yet. Patience is a virtue. I'll wait. tap...tap...tap...

EDIT: Looks like a big day for the team. Looks like you'll need 40K+ to get pie.

 

[[Ion]]

Should have it at the next update

How much before the preferred deadline did it finish?

 

[hertz9753]

I had one of my GTX 460's folding two wu's at the same time, while the other one did nothing yesterday.(console version)

 

[[Ion]]

Two at the same time? How did that work?

 

[Athlon2K15]

can i fold with SLI enabled? are there any special commands such as bigadv or advmethods?

 

[hertz9753]

4600 ppd on each wu, with the 611's.

 

[theonedub]

No special commands. I'll tell you this though, when I was folding with my 275s it was a shitfest trying to get them working right with SLI enabled. In the end, since I dont play many games, I just disabled it.

 

[Athlon2K15]

im running both cards stock 1250 shaders P10372 R70 and R16 averaging 12.5K on both now

I hope your patience pays off. We currently have four 100K+ folders today and nine with 40K+ looking for pie.

This probable will be another 25 hour day for Free-DC. If the last update comes 6 hours from the last one then that will be at 10 pm CST.

The team already has more points today than yesterday.

Thats about right. Figure that the shader clock will equal your PPD roughly. 1300 region will do 13k PPD, 1400 will do 14k PPD, and ~1550+ will do 15k PPD. Mine is clocked at 1502 and does 14.8kPPD on 611s (P10632).

Just when I was feeling happy about 10k with the shaders on my GTX 460's at 1550.

 

[Athlon2K15]

@dub do you need added voltage to run 1502 shaders? Also does the speed of my cpu affect the ppd of my 470's? im trying to squeeze every point i can out of these two cards

 

[theonedub]

Yeah stock was .962, running at 1.0 even now. Its possible you could those clocks at stock Vcore depending on your card. With 1.0v I can run finish 1hr OCCT GPU with no issues.

As far as CPU usage you will be fine. I've dropped about 200PPD from WCG since GPU3 uses more resources, but even with WCG off and the full CPU available PPD did not increase substantially.
