Ok:o, you're right. The team number is 50711. Make sure you have "advanced" set for that GPU slot. See this post: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2248985&postcount=1508

FAHtracker works with all of the up-to-date clients except for the new core for HD5xxx and newer cards.

5)For Radeon HD5xxx or newer: Please read completly through this step before continuing. Folding on Radeon cards has been very frustrating due to their low PPD. FAHClient V7 introduces a new core, fahcore_16, for HD5xxx and newer Radeon cards. In order to get the client to request work units for this core, you must configure the GPU slot(s) as shown in this post. (that proceedure is needed if you install the GPU slot without the directions below) But, before you get there, install the client for anything but a GPU slot. SMP or uniprocessor recommended. Then add the GPU slot. Follow the instuctions here EXCEPT when you get to figure 5, before clicking on OK, click on Add under Extra slot options (expert only) and then type client-type in for the name and advmethods for the value and then click OK and then OK. Repeat as necessary.The client will start automatically. Do not disable Crossfire! (if applicable)

if i follow this link it tells me to use
Code: 
client-type:advanced
but later in your sentence its tell me to use
Code: 
client-type:advmethods
which one is the good one ?
 
The stinkers changed terminology on us. Advanced is the one to use

Hey guys! a little help here.. I've got my 970 setup for smp using bigadv.. but does this look right? ETA:2.04 days? Base Credit Unknown, Estimated Credit Unknown, Estimated PPD Unknown, Estimated TPF 35mins 04 secs, Project 2686, FahCore 0xa5... Thanks! :toast:
 
it will take some time to claculate the PPD afaik,
 
yea but does "ETA:2.04 days" look right?
 
for one of the big ones? i think so yeah, its pretty time consuming
 
I guess i'll have to stop this one mid way.. to switch over to CC.
 
just wait a sec lol, im not 110% sure, wait for the other guys

Mine "970s" take 1½ day +/- ½ hour on 2685, 86, 92 and 6900 and 6901 (21:00 to 22:00). that is at 4.1 Ghz, so no that does not look right. Which program are you using? I don't use the Fahtracker V2 but the stand alone program. Do you have GPUs doing F@H in the same rig?

I've got mine at stock.. I'll overclock it tomorrow. What's your settings to reach 4.1? :toast: Yes i have a gpu doing F@H as well. and i'm using the v7 program.

1.31 V BIOS, load line calibration on (low). Gives me 1.28ish.

One GPU adds around 2:00 per frame on my rigs.
 
I plain to have a 480 folding in my 970 tomorrow. :toast:

EDIT: Got to run guys.. I'll check back here in a few hours. Thanks!

If you could put that GPU in another rig it would help a lot on your PPD.
 
Hi!

Could someone send me the pass key, please?

Thanks :)
 
Hi, I joined the team for Chimp Challenge and here is how my folding is going now:

Folding.png


Is all OK, or is there something wrong? Is my SMP PPD low or OK? Looks like I'll only complete three of those WUs during these 10 days if all goes well.
Should I add the -verbosity 9?

I had to OC and configure clients just in a couple hours. I just crashed a couple times with Prime95 at 4.5 GHz and a bit higher voltage and then ran Prime95 OK for a bit more than one hour at 4.2 GHz. Then I just started folding and OCd GPU a bit while folding. I just have to hope my PC keeps running for at least 11 days without any EUEs. I'd also like to run my GPU at 750/1500, but I'll try that tomorrow when I can watch better whether it works or not.

I also have my old Q6600 rig with one GT 8800 (other GT 8800 also available but not installed) that folded all my points when I was folding some years ago. Would that rig still be worth setting up for folding?
