What happen to our team pt's ?? :mad:

Oh, I forgot to tell you guy's. I'm hoarding all the team points and saving them for a rainy day:laugh:. Seriously, the stats server has not updated since 3pm EST. When it comes back online it will post all the points. They are kept in memory, so your not losing anything. Look for a big points update sometime on Tuesday.

Delete all previous installs on your rig, then restart the SMP install process.


Sorry, it did nothing. Both clients uninstalled and reinstalled SMP. Still gave that on running install.bat and following instructions.



EDIT: Nevermind, I got the SMP client up and going. It should be going to run along with the console GPU client. Tomorrow I'm gonna see how my rig handles being on all day. Hopefully doesn't burn out, I just bought the thing. Cooling seems good and I'll check in the morning before I bust outta here for work. I visited The Source (our Circuit City under a diff name) and they didn't have resistors at all. Not sure how I'm going to pull off a dummy plug without any place to buy resistors around here. Oh and Buck, many thanks for your help. :toast:

How many points is a typical GPU client work unit worth?

It depends.. a 8600 will get 1000-1500ppd when a 280 could get upwards of 8000ppd. Ati cards get less at the moment.. a 3850 should get about 2000ppd where a 4850 will get about 3750ppd.

All of these are ballpark figures and vary a lot based on which work unit you are doing, but if you have one of these cards (or something in between) and get something within a few hundred points of these numbers you are fine. Clock speeds affect results a lot as well.


Edit: On a personal note, I really hate 511 pointers lol. Oh and I think with Windows 7 the interface is more GPU driven because my ppd can dip almost 1000ppd just when using basic things now.. (it was much less in vista)

I didn't mean points per day, I meant one work unit.

heh, the F@H stats server can't keep up with my 9800gt

buck how did you end up with 727 million points? :wtf:

Ugh. Nevermind my previous post again. I got the SMP client working last night (as in it connected and downloaded and said it was starting). But then for the next 5 hours it was on 0%, with zero other activity on the computer. Even if the Work Unit was going to take 3 days to complete, It would have shown 6-7% done. I'm pretty sure something isn't right (though I don't know the average completion time on the differing work units, nor do I know the one I had) Its a good thing I don't let things go easy because this would have dissuaded me otherwise. However, I will find a place to buy resistors, I will make a dummy plug, I will get 1 SMP and 2 GPUs running, I will get this all figured out and it will be my W.U.s that cure cancer. You guys can fight each other over the other anomalies that form, I'll let you guys win a little. Anyways, any ideas as to why my SMP client wouldn't crunch anything?

ok i am having serious problems getting everything to work again like it was. I did download the SMP version and now the GPU2 version as well.

If i do this right i have to install the SMP as a service locking it to one of the cores, and then install the GPU and lock it to the other core.

so only two installs - is this correct?!?!

I got that when my video card's memory was clocked too high. I used to sit at 1080 (2160), now I sit at 1050 (2100)

Knew I'd figure this out. Currently have SMP and a GPU2 running and crunching verified, seperate cpu cores using the Set & Get Affinity. You weren't lying about being able to run multiple GPU2s off one core letting SMP have the other. I could probably fit 3 GPU2s on 1 core of my e8500 if it weren't for the spike that comes along every now and again. Two should be fine on core1 and allow for my extra programs to work off Core1 as well. (The only thing set to Core0 is the SMP Fahcores) Next up will be finding some place to sell me resistors, making a dummy plug and prepping my second 9800 GTX to fold. Also setting the affinity of the GPU2 clients to the 2 cards. Also, just today got a 100 dollar a month raise so I shouldn't need to worry too much about extra energy bill.

That reminds me, :toast: to CyberDruid on the 30 second dummy plug. Don't know if you'll see this or not.

Edit: Forgot, this will be the ol' girls inaugural 'run without being turned off for extended periods of time'. She's still new so I don't know how she'll handle it. Nothing is OC'ed and running in a cool case / good CPU heatsink. GPUs are stock cooling though. I suppose if this is what I'm doing with this computer I might need to look at OC'ing and better cooling. Bah, I needed more of a money sink anyways. How long do you guys run between shutdowns? I'd imagine you guys keep them up all the time. Any pointers that aren't so obvious?

Edit2: Temps holding stable at 78 C on loaded GPU, other is 66 C. Should be fine for now and I'll check again before I leave for work (won't be back to this thing for 18 hours). CPU is holding fine at 42-44 C. This should make a nice bump for PPD seeming its currently 146. Heh.

I'm back folding again. Hopefully shouldn't be too long before i'm on the top 20 producers list again.

And wow, our team is #110! Lets get it under 100!

Well my HD3870 has been playing about for a couple of days and I have been getting some BSOD's.....maybe a result of me flashing the bios alot of times over the weekend :ohwell:

I also seem to be getting alot of 511 pointers which are driving my PPD down by ~2000

This just arrived the day courtesy of Fit's (cheers mate!!) -




So I thought I had better put it to work for awhile and see if I can boost my points a little :)

Bwah haha! I knew something like this would happen. Woke up this morning to find a shutdown rig. Case lights / Fan LEDs on, nothing running. Still boots and gets into windows fine. Most likely shut down due to thermals. Only thing is the working 9800GTX was keeping 78 C for most the night and didn't show much variation. Can't really see why that would have caused it to crash.

Are your cards overclocked at all??? I was having instability problems some time ago while folding and it turned out my shaders were clocked too high. It took me a while and a new PSU before I found out the cause, I was certain they were stable too. I'd come back to my rig after work and everything would be running, I can't remember if the display was frozen or if I just got a black screen. Just something to keep in mind.

Nope, everything is stock clocks and has been stable so far. The only thing that I can think of is that my 8 gigs of ram is bought as 1000s, but they are recognized initially at 800 and you're supposed to 'OC' it to normal values in the bios. Technically an overclock but if I bought them rated at 1000 (they were cheaper than the 800s lol)... I'm going to try setting them to 800 default and seeing if that changes anything. Everything is brand new when it comes to mobo, proc, ram and psu.

Darn, the hr-03 gtx cooler and fan won't fit in my main rig, now I have to build another folding rig... why does the darn thing have to be so big and intrusive?? And with fan it'll cost me around $140can. Well, guess my 280 is down for awhile! My little 9800gtx is still pumping, but choked by nothing but 511 pointers, which it's not good at... The 280 was getting hit by non-stop 511s, I finally took it apart and regreased it with AS5, but not sure how temps will turn out. Enjoy the 511 pointers everyone!

Please, download the console GPU client and disable SLI while folding. :toast:

Sli disabled for Folding. Download the Console Client. It doesn't have the flashy viewer, but does have more PPD output. Get those GTX's up ASAP, we need all the help we can get.:toast:

Sli disabled for Folding. Download the Console Client. It doesn't have the flashy viewer, but does have more PPD output. Get those GTX's up ASAP, we need all the help we can get.:toast:

So just run the normal console client (didn't find a GPU console client) and then set it up for that? I really don't understand a few things about this. And I only have 1 working MB right now, so unless each GTX can work separately on one box, just going to have 1 working.

Ati Hd3870x2

Guys, my ATI HD3870X2 is on fire!



10577 PPD at the moment! :roll:

I'm posting a pic, case you don't believe!





I REALLY want to believe that the numbers are solid and remain this way. :toast:



-------------------------------------------------------------------

- EDIT -

Now both cores are folding 353pt WU and guess what:

PPD = 12843

:respect: 353pt Work Unit - We salute you! :respect:

Here is the link for XP: http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/Folding@home-Win32-GPU_XP-623.zip

Here is Vista:http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/Folding@home-Win32-GPU_Vista-623.zip

Both cards can run on the same board. You must install the GPU2 client in 2 separate folders. Create shortcuts for each executable, naming the first "GPU-0" and the second "GPU-1". In properties, edit the target filepath by adding a "space" and "-gpu 0" after the original filepath. Add the same to the 2nd shortcut, but it will read "-gpu 1" this time. Run the shortcut and set-up the client. That's all there is to it.
