how do i change the .cfg file on my dual gpu's to fold using less gpu load?? i can take a screenshot of the cfg file. im not using the viewer clien that you can just move the slider on im using the kernel client i think it is??

Sorry that this has taken so long. It was only recently when switching my clients back over to my name that I ran through the advanced options and noticed that one of the questions is how much of the GPU do you want to use. Hopefully, this will do what you're looking for. BTW, just add -configonly to your shortcut and you can run through the client setup. Don't forget to remove it, or do what some of us have done (thanks bog) and create config shortcuts. I now have normal, -pause, and -config shortcuts.

ok guys...

i've got a delema here.

i want to run bigadv on my cpus since i have 16 threads, soon to be 24 threads.

i also want to run gpu3 on my gtx480s

from what i understand you need linux to run bigadv but you need windows to run gpu3.

i can run VMware for bigadv but vmware only supports 8 logical cpus max so thats not a good solution.

i can install linux native but then i cannot run gpu3.

what should i do?

bogmali · Jun 16, 2010

You do have a dilemma on your hands. My suggestion (this hasn't been done before) is that since you have 12GB of RAM, you can run 2 instance of VMWare for -bigadv and run your normal GPU3. This is under Windows obviously and see if it works.

I will post this on EVGA asking LR (linuxrouter) to see if this is even possible.

Fitseries3 · Jun 16, 2010

i know you can run multiple VMs.... you cant use player though.

you have to use workstation like i use.

i know how to set it all up but im just wondering if it will all work as planned.

PM me the link to that thread you showed me last time... with the image in it

cpu0 is running fine....

however.....

cpu1 is being an ass...

what do i do now?

Fitseries3 · Jun 16, 2010

k... i got 2 VMs running correctly.

now my question is... should i be running 7core or 8core? i am running gpus too but it seems that both cpus have 1 core thats at only 50%

VM0 is locked to cpu0 and VM1 is locked to cpu1

Greets! Is it possible to fold on my GT240 which I have set soley as a PhysX card? Since I rarely use PhysX I would like to fold on this card while playing games and such on my 5850's. Is this all do-able without getting any sort of interference while playing games?

hat · Jun 16, 2010

You should be able to fold on the GT240 without interference on your games. You'll have to use a -gpu flag... my guess is that the GT240 would be 3, so when you start F@H just put -gpu 3 in the shortcut and watch temps to see which card gets loaded.

The -gpu flag is 0 based so the first gpu is 0, second 1, third 2, etc. It probably will be -gpu 2 but the number will be determined by where the card is located in your system.

got it working yay!

Fitseries3 · Jun 17, 2010

some people have informed me that my 480s are folding subpar.

any ideas why?

PVTCaboose1337 · Jun 17, 2010

I am having issues with my 4850 having a 25% decrease in PPD when I upgraded to Windows 7 from XP. Any ideas of a solution?

EDIT: I am getting ~1600 PPD vs ~2300 PPD that I was. I really want that extra!

I would say your 480's 10351 PPD is sub par as I have a GTX 465 at stock had a 10,334 PPD but I've OC it to a 11,731 PPD. I've also got a GTX 470 with a stock 12,275 PPD.

any idea how to fix it?

If you disable the SMP clients does the PPD go up on the GPU clients?

Fitseries3 · Jun 17, 2010

no. tried that already. gpus wont fold any faster than they currently are.

You may have found a problem with the SR-2!

why is it showing me 70k ppd but i only got 20k pts yesturday?

Maybe the pande group is holding your points until you pay the electric bill!

Did you see the WUs upload? Select one of your bigadv WUs, click on the Clients tab and click the View Cached Log File menu item.

I'm not running any bigadv WUs until I replace my radiator fans so this is a SMP2 A3 but you should see something similar.

I noticed that Stanford hasn't updated since 8:23 AM this morning or 10:23 AM CST.

So maybe your WUs are caught in their servers.
