Been a long time since I folded, and might be until I can, but I will probably do it under linux. Anyone here fold under linux? For Debian/Ubuntu, do I need all 3 installs? fahviewer, fahclient and fahcontrol for one working install? Just wondering.

The only person I 100% know has folded running Ubuntu is BUCK NASTY, if i were you i would message him. He should be able to point you in right direction.

@thebluebumblebee this is one for you.

Obviously, you have to have fahclient. You can keep track of what it's doing with the web interface, which involves installing Chrome. Fahcontrol is the normal F@H interface that we are used to, so I feel that it's mandatory. Fahviewer is completely optional. I need to write up what I did with my latest install on Mint 18.1 because there's an addition step that's not covered in F@H Ubuntu 15.10 install for Nvidia GPU's which is getting a little long on the tooth and is missing something for these newer Linux distos. Result (Mint 18.1 with Cinnamon):

thebluebumblebee · Dec 28, 2017

@BUCK NASTY , what did you do? My guess is you've added a GTX 1070 Ti or 1080. That's about what it would take to bump your PPD to >1M.

This is the work off 970s for sure

Hey guy's, it's been a while. My main SSD crashed and I had no back-up, so I'm re-building and shuffling parts around. I'm a little rusty with the Folding scene, so I could use some help. Still got 3x GTX970's and a GTX980ti Hybrid that i'm playing with now. Running Win7 still and I can't get more than 460K PPD out of the 980ti(even with OC). Do I need to upgrade to Win10 or drop back to Linux to get better production?

Got this beast arriving today, so I'll drop back to 2 cards until the cooler temps settle in on Florida.

thebluebumblebee · Dec 29, 2017

I believe that W10 is better than W7 and almost as good as Linux, but I can't remember why I believe that. I can tell you that I'm getting just over 600K with my GTX 980 Ti (i5-6600K) and just over 400K with my GTX 980 (I7-2600K), both of them on Linux, and both of them running stock clocks. I did get to play with a GTX 1080 Ti on W10 that I got 1M PPD with, if that's any indicator.
I do believe that these newer GPU's need a fast CPU in order to feed them. Keep an eye on GPU utilization.

Looking to add a GPU? I'm seeing GTX 980 Ti's popping up on CL. $250 for a card capable of 600K PPD isn't that bad.

I should have you snag those for me. That + shipping is way cheaper than what I'm seeing everywhere I look.

thebluebumblebee · Dec 29, 2017

Well, then you probably don't want to know about the GTX 1080 FE that sold for $400, or $500 with an EKWB waterblock.

XZero450 · Dec 29, 2017

Yup, you're killing me here. Everyhting on Craigslist here is as high or higher than eBay.

thebluebumblebee · Dec 29, 2017

Not sure what part of WI you're in, but there are some good prices in the Madison area, such as a GTX 980 Ti for $200 and a STRIX GTX 1080 for $450
Edit: I have a brother who lives near Madison, so I check from time to time.

It's a 4 hour round trip to Madison for me.. I'd be more inclined to pay a little more and have it shipped from Madison.

I'm doing a Ubuntu 16.04lts install today and i will update the guide accordingly. Don't know if I still have the patience for this.... :laugh:

EDIT: looks like Ubuntu 16.04 Distro has a software center bug and even with patching, I cannot get things running properly. Taking @thebluebumblebee lead and going Mint 18.3 Cinnamon. Arghhh! Bruce, what is the additional step?

Once I get my left arm to function again (shoulder was dislocated, put back in place but is not really working) I would give this a try on my second X58 rig with one/two GTX 970s

I hope the arm recovers quickly mstenholm, sounds nasty

Nice guide, I could do with setting up one of my machines like that. Let us know how you get on

Sorry, for some reason, I didn't see this. Are you getting a Dependency is not satisfiable: python-support (>0.90.0) error? Again, sorry, I should have just linked to it

The user who wrote that, SteveWillis, mentions in that Jun 12, 2017 post:

If you update your driver be sure and get one before 378.13 as I believe all the Linux 64 bit drivers which support the 1080 TI cards still include the hot fix and will reduce your PPD

I blindly installed the latest Nvidia drivers and my PPD is lower than what I expected. I need to figure out how to uninstall and install the older drivers.

I also installed the latest drivers. It raised my clocks without raising my PPD! I normally run stock clocks for heat and economic reasons. The latest driver doubled my 1070's electricity usage with no payoff in output. Arrgh! I messed around with MSI Afterburner and things back where I want them. But not after having to perform several reboots and staying up 'til 5:00 am. I wasn't happy.

The upside of the above is that they started a new (well re-started) server that feeds nice WUs, i.e. 11432. My GTX 1070 went from 580 to ~~680K.~~ 758K

One of my 660 ti went to 3000 ppd, had to reinstall to get it to work right again, still down about 5,000-10,000 PPD per card

It happens 5-10 times a year. Don't worry your completed WUs are not lost.

Are they short on power cords? Did they have to ~~steal~~ borrow one from the stats server?

Agreed. My 980ti made as much as 870K PPD this weekend on those new work units in Linux. Nice to see that my Win7 install is also getting them. GTX970's producing as much as ~~360K~~ 391K PPD
