New beta Rig

Hello TPU!

I'm playing around with a new rig, not big deal config:

A8N SLI Deluxe
Athlon 64 3000+
1Gb mem
2 x ATI HD 3850
Win Vista32 for now



The PPD I'm getting is stupid - 2K for 2 cards (3850). My question is about CPU usage with GPU usage. The cpu is single core and 1 GPU is getting more CPU usage than the other GPU. Result:

GPU_Zero is folding @ around 50% GPU usage. Getting 919 PPD.

GPU_One is folding @ around 85% GPU usage. Getting 1251 PPD.

What is the best solution when you are folding 2 Vid. cards with a single core CPU?

I'm asking 'cos all my other rigs are dual core.

Thanks :toast:

Hello my Province neighbor! :toast:

The error you got happens when the Stanford Servers are busy or maintenance. All you can really do is wait.

My idea with the new rig is use my 2 ATI HD 3870X2 I have. With 4 GPUs @ 2K PPD each = 8K PPD :D - That's the dream at least.

Cheers

Nvidia Geforce 2 MX FTW :rockout:



Seriously, The GTX 260 now is the best bang for the buck overall. I have not heard if the 216 sp unit is any better than the 192 sp. Some of those cards are putting out 8K+ PPD:eek:

I would say the 9600GSO - that gets around 4k, at a guess the 8800GTS maybe 3K~ish

So, what are the results? Should i sell off off my Nvidia farm for ATI????

C'mon Buck! Give me a break. Sunday morning, and you ask me for results at 9AM???? :laugh:

About you selling your nVidia farm: I'll send you all my ATI Cards and you give your nVidia's. :nutkick: ...hehehe

OK, seriously talking is still too early and I guess Stanford is picking on me!! :banghead:

Out of 8 video cards folding, I have at the moment 7 folding 511 points WU!! :banghead:

Resuming:

HD 3870X2 (2 cores folding) = 2738 PPD (both folding 511 points WU)

HD 3850 = 1219 PPD (folding 511 points WU also).

My folding isn't going 100% anyways 'cos now I'm playing like nutsy people!!! :rockout: GTA IV and CoD 5 are killing me!! :rockout:


Any special way to sign up using the console client? or do you just put a username you like and the TPU team number?

You got it silkstone! To have the honor of joining our TPU team that's all you gotta do!!

Fold on!

:toast:

Arrgghhh, want to join, but F@H crashes my whole system. It gives me a driver error (stopped responding) even on low clock speeds when all other programs run stable. I'll give it another go tomorrow

I just got an answer to my question forget the 9600GSO and 8800GTS(G80) and get a 9800GT for my main rig and put the 8800GT in my 2nd rig. That would pwn a 9600GSO and a 8800GTS G80

Not so bad for a ATI : 548 pts job (maybe i try the new ati client later today just wait for more info by my province neighbor mmaakk) :respect:

Good job stanhemi! :toast:

Looking at your fahmon I noticed that your cpu client has a 119pt WU.

That's because your setup "bigpackets=normal"

Open your cpu client folder, find "client.cfg" file, open it with notepad and change to "bigpackets=big". Save the file and Bingo!!

The next WU you will get is a 749 points WU!
