lets keep this going.....

BUMP

trickson · May 10, 2011

I would love to but I have ATI cards . I can not find my GTX260 just yet .

Bump ! For all you Nvidia people out there ! COME on !

qubit · May 10, 2011

Ok, I'll jump in - finally!

I reckon my GTX 580 will be able to push out a useful amount of work.

First, I have a couple of setup questions though.

1 Your chimp challenge thread has a link for Fahtracker V2. This seems to be different from the client available at http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download

Which should I use? If I should use Fahtracker, is there now a later version available, perhaps?

2 I've still got my old GTX 285. My mobo is crossfire capable and therefore has two graphics card slots in it.

I have a strong PSU, so I'm wondering if it's possible to run both cards at once for F@H?

And for those that are wondering no, I'm not trying to daftly run two dissimilar nvidia cards in 'crossfire' or SLI.

(FIH) The Don · May 10, 2011

just put the 285 in the rig, install drivers, then run fah tracker and get them cards folding!

entropy13 · May 10, 2011

I have a question in the Assistance thread btw.

Gas2100 · May 11, 2011

i got a 260 goin for ya, bumpage

gvblake22 · May 12, 2011

I just fired up my little GTX 460 1GB for you guys. Good luck! :toast:

GREASEMONKEY · May 12, 2011

If some one could tell me a quick and EASY way to get my ubuntu 10.4 machine folding with its 9600 gt. I would certainly love to get it folding for you.
And when i say EASY,that's exactly what i mean.I am a complete linux Dummy!

Funtoss · May 12, 2011

GTX 460 =) reporting for duty sir!

slyfox2151 · May 12, 2011

1 GTX560 TI
1 GTX260
1 GTX8800
1 GTX9600
2 GTX 8500s
1 GTX250

will be online within 12 hours.

oh.... and about 18 CPU cores

mlee49 · May 12, 2011

Nice!

slyfox2151 · May 12, 2011

im in need of the passkey to get the cores online, if someone could PM me

.

GTX560 is online now
GTX260 will be in 5 mins
8800 and 9600 will be done within the hour.

15th Warlock · May 12, 2011

2xGTX580s SLI reporting for duty.

Please PM me the passkey to help with my SB CPU

P.S. in EVGA precision one GPU is locked at 99% while the 2nd one keeps jumping between 20~90% Is this normal?

P.P.S. Will try and get my 2xGTX285s and Q9550 online in the next few hours, been having problems with my wireless connection to my room and may need to get my HTPC out of the room. :toast:

P.P.P.S. GPU0 was reaching 89 degrees, pumped my GPU fans to 85% and both are cruising at 55~60 degrees now :rockout:

P.P.P.P.S. OK now both GPUs showing 99% usage... that's weird :confused:

There's no easy way, from what I've heard.

Nvidia? Why stop there?

15th Warlock · May 13, 2011

Got a question, hope you guys can help me:

On my 2600K, if I enable the CPU folding and SMP, my PC shows all 8 logical processors at 99% use and both my GPUs hover at around 99% use as well, my system is responsive and I can open my web browser and do start other process normally.

On my Q9550 on the other hand, when I enable my CPU the system becomes very unresponsive, all 4 cores show 99% use but my GPUs hover at only 25~30% use. Is this normal? and if not, what am I doing wrong on my other PC?

I use Win7 64bits on both PCs, and both also use the latest WHQL Nvidia drivers, how can I fix this?

What client did you use? Any idea whether you're using GPU2 or GPU3?

I'm using FAH GPU Tracker V2 I downloaded from this thread:

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139673

It shows I'm using GPU0 and GPU1 only, if I disable CPU folding the GPUs usage jumps to 99%

I would suggest getting an affinity program like Pro Lasso that balances out the load on both CPU and GPU.

Sorry for being clear as mud. There are 2 "clients" available for Nvidia GPU's, known as GPU2 and GPU3, not to be confused with GPU 0, GPU 1, etc.

Would you please post a screen shot of the system with the GTX285's.

Not at all, thanks for your help mate, here's the screenie:

It was taken with CPU folding disabled, as my system gets really slow if I enable it. I remember my old Q9550 being slower than my current 2600K, but I think this is not normal, it's like the system just hangs and my proc. is locked folding, creating a bottleneck for my GPUs :confused:
