Well So far this is about the best I have configged...I tried to get the 2ND 4870X2 card to do some folding but no matter what machine id i pick it doesnt activate shit on that card...would be nice if I could grab some of them cycles.

Buck when you get a chance I need a Teamviewer session. I updated the client and went to kick off GPU_0 and it failed. Seems the clients arent helping matters much from the slightly older clients both crashing earlier. :respect::respect::pimp:
 
Ok guys, firstly apologies, I haven't folded anything since late September, now I should have a new rig in a week or two, including a nice X6 CPU, Xfire 5770s and a 4830.

Now I know you can't fold on the 4830 and the 5770s at the same time, but can you fold on two 5770s that are in Xfire at the same time.

Thanks for the help guys.

not while xfire is enabled
 
Can't we fold with 2 different Ati cards at same time in same way nvidia cards can? :wtf:
Have to be exactly the same 2 gpus?
 
You can fold on any combination of cards (as long as they're from the same camp). They have to be the same if you're going to run them in SLI/Xfire.
 
I though they have to be the same generation? It didn't work for me when I tried to use a 4830 and a 3870.
 
Well for some reason I can't get either GPU in my rig to fold (5770 or 4830). Any suggestions. Actually thinking about it, don't you need two monitors connected to fold on a card? I only have one connected to the 4830 and 2 to the 5770.

On another note I have a plan to do some more serious folding.

My new PC should be here a week Monday.

AMD 1090T
4 GB Corsair Ram
Asrock 880 Extreme Mobo
5770

I'll fold on the CPU and the GPU when I'm not gaming, which should certainly add to my PPD.

The 4830 will be coming out and my current rig, will be moving to another case, I plan to fold with the 4830 to start with but will invest in a couple of Nvidia cards to fold on, any suggestions on that.
 
gts450 or gtx460/768
 
Hello. I'm new in folding and I have some questions:
My gpu shows ~ 13500PPD and finishes a WU ~ 900 points in about 2 hours.
My cpu shows ~ 253PPD and finishes a WU ~ 210 points in about 10 hours. What's wrong with my cpu and how do I fix it. I tried with different clients but the result is the same.
 
Did that but the same stuff. CPU stays at ~ 30% and I get the same 200-250 PPD within an interval of many hours.

Are you using FahTracker? If not, i would consider using it. It's pretty muck a self detecting master client that auto installs GPU/CPU clients and has a nice GUI.
 
Help! Got 3 cards in on my main UD5 and can only get 2 to run!

I setup GPU-0,GPU-1,GPU-2 but somehow my system recognizes GPU-0 and GPU-2 as the first two cards in the system. Technically my board does have 3 PCI-E slots there, so I guess that makes sense. Pic of board:
http://www.techpowerup.org/uploaded.php?file=101108/Capture002.jpg

But I cant seem to fold on this last card. I've tried setting up GPU-3 and GPU-4 but no luck.

When I run GPU-1 I get MACHINE_ERROR even thought I've set to Machine ID 6(or whatever).

Any help would be great.
 
When I ran 3 cards, I had to use the local switch on one of them.
 
FAH GPU Tracker V2

Sneeky showed me this program and i installed it on two machines so far. Had him show me the configuration's and stuff so i know it's set up right. Now, one rig is running duel 460's and the production and PPD's seems spot on.

I set this program up on my second rig and my PPD's seem to low for running a 250 & a 275
Capture3.png

Is this program set up to only optimize 4 series cards cause i normally pull around 9,000 on the 275 and 7,000 on the 250? As they sit now they are producing worse than ati's???
All help is appreciated... i have two more rigs to set up and need to know if i need to use the console version instead

It's called the curse of the 494's. I've had them for 3 solid days except 1 587. I'm Folding 2 cards, check my EOC stats.
 
So this has nothing to do with the program? I just need to know cause i got two more rigs to set this up on?
 
I'm down 1200 ppd because of the 494's.

Sorry for the late post. I have 4 cards running in one machine. Only one monitor, no dongles. You need to have all the monitors enabled in Display Properties. I use the -local switch on GPU2 and GPU3, not on GPU0 or GPU1.
 
Fahtracker does something funny with the clients. I have machine conflicts today and had to scrap the install and go old school. Hopefully it will be improved in the future because it really is a nice piece of software.
