2011 Chimp Challenge has started!!!

[isowizard12]

Just picked up another -bigadv on one rig...2 days 6 hours left in challenge and 2 days 4 hours to finish WU

It will be a close finish...

same here except i got 3 of them

 

[DaC]

got the gtx 590 to fold .. disabled "maximize gpu performance" in nvidia control panel, logged in via desktop (clients didnt start when using remote desktop), started fah gpu tracker v2, configured both gpus and clicked start.

says 12,800 PPD per GPU

once it's running it's safe to remote desktop back into the box to monitor progress

Well.... I don't know why, but I think it might be a issue with remote desktop emulating a videocard... because I had the same problem running my ION board on remote, only SMP worked... I'll try to do what you did now.

 

[W1zzard]

you can put fah gpu tracker v2 into autostart, set it to start the gpu clients on startup, then it will start the clients without remote desktop and you can remote desktop into the machine when they are running

I use UltraVNC to monitor 3 of my rigs and make changes

Or you can use HFM.net to keep tags on their progress.

Deswegen sind Sie der Wizzard!

Very nice set-up W1zz, thanks for pitching in

with gpu tracker and multiple cards
If you have multiple GPUs hit the "multiple GPU" button and in the next window, pick which GPUs you'd like to start if you have not done so already, also make sure in the nvidia control panel that sli is disabled

yeah i did all that, didnt work as long as remote desktop was active

 

[isowizard12]

ok i'm up and running: 5x gtx 580 + 1x gtx 590 + 1x core i7

was you able to get both gpu's on the 590 going on 2 different clients?

Check out this farm that W1zzard is running. Should be good for 100K+. Thanks so much for adding to ChimPowerUp!

with sli disabled i just set fah gpu tracker v2 to 2 fermi gpus

 

[isowizard12]

just a reminder if you are not picking up a big adv in the next 2 hours hours (depending on your tpf) please be sure to switch to -smp core A3 wu's so the points will count before the race is over.

nice to see wizard thanks

 

[W1zzard]

phew .. getting hot in here .. i'll move the farm to the kitchen

No luck here... ION won't fold on GPU...

 

[Bow]

I wish I had that problem..

 

[Bow]

So do we have enough time to get 1st?

 

[DaC]

phew .. getting hot in here .. i'll move the farm to the kitchen

LoL....

 

[DaC]

So do we have enough time to get 1st?

I would say yes...
10.52 to 10.32 difference in 60 minutes without any bid adv dropping..
So we still have 53 updates left.... taking .2 without big adv per updated would get US 10.6 Chims difference.... our big adv dropping and new clients up and running will make the difference for the 1st place...

 

[isowizard12]

Thanks Mindweaver!

Guy's, we are 10.52 points behind HWC and gaining quickly. We need every available piece of hardware that is capable of folding. HWC is really concerned about us and they have every right to be!

Keep up the spectacular work!

let's do this! surprise attack time is over but yes we need every piece of hardware, i have recruited about everyone i know. some had doubts we would take second and now we are making a sprint for first

 

[isowizard12]

you bet we do all systems are online and growing

Running multi GPU's at full tilt raises the temps quite considerably in the room.

If you have a small table fan, to move some air about, it helps

How many clients do we have running atm?
