TPU's F@H Team

[mmaakk]

Yes, it was a joke, but did I deserve a nutkick???? C'mon man...

Very sorry Buck. I'm gonna contract a "hot nurse" to take care of you.

About the 511 points... Yesterday I had a storm of 480pt. Today 384pt.

Oh My Goodness
OK, send here over. I'm making a list of things i want her to look at.
Can you imagine joining a folding team and seeing this stuff in the team forum? TPU rocks!!!!!!!

Man I am really climbing the ladder fast I in 94th place !

Same here Up 84 places in 3 days. Currently at 101.

BTW, is anyone else getting spanked with 511pt WU's right now? All 16 GPU's are lit up with em'.

Yeah my 4850 is doing ANOTHER 511pt WU. Weird that they would give that small a unit to a gpu while giving a 1760 and a 2140pt WU to my cpus...

And BUCK NASTY: how many ppd should the q6600 be getting? right now it's barely pulling 1600 could it be because there are four processes running on 3 cores?

My E8400 does 1250ppd with all 4 processes on one core. Something is not right. What are you CPU clocks?

 

[lightofhonor]

3.05ghz right now. I lowered them a little because it was going to be at 100% full time. And I also raised their priority level to high.

Confession...

I have a confession to make:

I love folding around with computers.

 

[johnspack]

Ah, those 50xx jobs yesterday were nice, my 8800gs actually got to fold 2 jobs! I'm still struggling to produce as I'm trying to catch up on my games. Wish my gtx280 wasn't such a good folder....

Another n00b question
Is there a way to install another core for my nvidia client.Now i'm using fahcore11.exe,I know i need to delete fahcore.11 and the queue.dat files but it won't work,keep downloading fahcore11.exe again and again. thanks

 

[johnspack]

Just delete the entire folder and build a new one. Before you start it however, make a backup of it somewhere. Now if you hoop it, just delete folder, and copy backup over and start!
Also, just use the console client, it's easier to deal with.

The 511pt & 384pt work units will require Fahcore 11 v1.19. This is the only core you can get from Stanford. Some of us still have copies of v1.15, which carries optimizations only for the 480pt WU's. I personally choose to copy it over v1.19 whenever I have 480pt WU's. The last 5 days have been good folding for my rigs, but today was horrible. I have been tormented by these 511pt WU's all day. I can't get a break from them. Is anyone else getting these constantly one after another?

For the record, what do the GTX260's produce with the 511 pt WU's?

 

[johnspack]

I'm back to being hit hard by the 384 pointers today. Haven't had 511 pointers in a while, but think I only got like 6.5-6.7k on the darn things.... if I ever get another one I'll post it.

GTX 260 Scores:

384pt = 7.9K
480pt = 7.2K
511pt = 6.2K

They just realeased a new client for the ATI cards HD4XXX. 1.22 and it imprevoes performance, and there is another one scheduled for january that will finally use the rest of the core on newer 3000-4000 series ATI cards.

The Nvidia client is currently faster due to simple shaders, the new cores however will use the sahders inthe ATI cards the way they were designed to be used and allow for a 3-5X improvement in performance.

 

[Steevo]

GPU plus SMP, and with the new core the GPU client is using 9-15% of one core for setup and only 50-60% of the GPU and it folds 10-20% faster.


29C currenly on the GPU.

Wasn't that released on the 16th?

And any ideas what could be slowing down my q6600 BUCK NASTY?

*EDIT* Seems that it could be related to the new core 1.22.

 

[Steevo]

the Nvidia cards are falling back into line with what is reasonable for PPD. People were pumping units out to get high point units too.


Unless you are using this for a stability test, please stop kicking units out to get high point units only. You are ruining everything good about this a competition. You basicly are f***ing up good science for your personal goals.

 

[johnspack]

Just a heads up, I'll be gone for 3-5 days around xmas, during which time my cards will be pumping 24/7. I want top 10!
Edit: I'll also be adding my brother to team tpu over xmas, only a 8800gt, but it'll add points...

 

[stanhemi]

@johnspack i try what you explain to me,don't work still downloading fahcore.11.exe?

 

[johnspack]

I'm sorry, I did't realize you were trying 1.1, no don't use that, just use 1.19 now. Too much hassle to try to inject ect. Just delete whole install, and install newest one. I even gave up on 1.15, as I don't get enough older jobs to make it worthwhile.

Oh looky what Santa just got Buck for X-MAS(apparently I get Santa's credit card bill). I wonder how the 8800GTS 320(96 SP) will stack up against the 8800GS/9600GSO's(96 SP also). It's still a steal for 77.99 + no shipping Also got the new X2 7750 Black Edition with 3MB L3. I should have everything up & running before New Years. Now I gotta go buy another 12/3 extension cord:shadedshu

I think Santa should be getting Buck one of these to make his life alot easier

For $2800.00 I think I'll stick with the K9A2 Platinum....

On another note, I woke up to a silent home this morning. My power went out last night around 2am and I lost 4 hours of the farm folding:shadedshu. I did notice TPU had it's first 250K point day yesterday. Way to go guys!!!!!!!

GTA 4 is getting boring now that i have finished it so i will be folding again as of tomorow

You forget that SANTA is buying them Santa has no limits (unless his credit sucks lol)

 

[johnspack]

Darn, wonder how long the results server was down last night, my cards were idle for awhile there.....
