Two things:

Remove the -oneunit flag
Try GPU2 instead of GPU3

GPU2/GPU3 does not matter with ATI. Although Standford says to use GPU2, GPU3 will just process GPU2 WU's. (experience with 4830)

http://fahwiki.net/index.php/CoreStatus_codes#C0000135 talks about that specific error code.

Romeopp, please fill in your system specs. That will help us troubleshoot. Also, put your username in FAHTracker. Is this the only GPU in your system? Maybe try it on GPU1. If your motherboard has integrated graphics and it is not disabled, I think F@H sometimes tries to grab it. You may need to go into BIOS and disable it instead of having it set to auto.

This on the FAH GPU Tracker V2 Forum.

Unable to disable -oneunit mode

This is the normal behavior. The Tracker will restart the clients after they exit. This is the reason that it is possible to change the Tracker's oneunit setting while a client is running. When you set oneunit in the Tracker's config it simply doesn't restart the client.

I get this question too often, I should make a sticky about this.

0 for 2

I'll keep quite now since this is AMD/ATI area-something I'm not too familiar with

ticked Enable GPU0 [under GPU ] still getting same error


if folding@home not compactable with my card is there any other folding supported by my card?like WCGrid

Do the stand-alone console client. There is a link in the folding essentials sub-forum. Never liked FAH GPU Tracker V2, too many issues (for me):shadedshu

ATI radeon H5750 Gfx card

long back i tried think gpu2 client on my old nvdia 9400 gt but it was 2 slow back then

i have no problem playing many games at max details at my 1024*768 resolution monitor

MB's interrelated video is disabled

i downloaded GPU3 client from folding@home website and edited shortcut to

-forcegpu ati_r800 -advmethods -verbosity 9

GPU - z is showing 99 -100% gpu usage =) ty




btw any1 know recommended MAX GPU temp for HD 5750 ?

ty

EDIT

with just 1 GPU client running my CPU usage is at 60 to 65 & usage(E7500 core2duo) is it normal ?

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Yes. Step 5 at Setting up GPU2 on ATI cards! (explained further in post 24) will tell you how to enter the environmental variables which will reduce the overhead on the CPU.

ty , cpu load reduced to 10-15% only now , thanks all

is 5 hrs for folding on HD 5750 and 2218 PPD normal ?

It should work. Try going with the console client instead of FAHTracker as Bog suggested. BTW, what OS?

yup its working now after i uninstalled FAH gpu tracker and installed GPU 3 6.41 system tray client . Couldn't find gpu3 console version

is 5 hrs and 2218 PPD normal for HD 5750 ?

thanks all 4 helping

edit

OS = WIn 7 64 bit

edit now PPD reduced to 931 and ETA increased to 10.39 hrs >.>

What else are you doing on the system while the GPU is Folding?

after reboot speed went back to 5hrs ETA , is 5 hrs to complete 1 project normal ?

Yes, takes my 4830 ~6 hours

hello to all

I set the boinc manager... but dont use the GPU only the CPU... anyone can help with that?

 

[mstenholm]

You are in the wrong forum- try this http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=106370

BOINC mainly only uses CPU (aside from a few projects). This forum is for Folding, which is also a distributed computing project, but different from BOINC.

Setting up WCG to run on the CPU and Folding on the GPU is what is recommended around here for the best usage of your hardware, unless you happen to have an i7 over 3.6Ghz.

There are two types of the GPU clients available: system tray and console. This team likes the console versions of the clients. You can choose to install the system tray client, but we might not be able to help you with any problems that you have with it.

You need to run GPU3 for the 6870. The GPU2 client will work for the 5770 that you mentioned, but you may as well just GPU3 for both. Pay attention to the environmental variables, step 5 in the first post with more info as to where in post 24. Setting up GPU2 on ATI cards! (I know that says GPU2, only using that link for the EV's)
As for the GPU3 client, I'm going to link you to a great thread that is on Stanford's Folding Forum. It will tell you where to download the client from and how to install it. Guide For GPU3 BETA Client {Windows & Linux}

i think i2 should start doing WCG on cpu , folding smp client on cpu is taking 4ever on my E7500 42% smp client done still 17 hrs more to go

Wow....thats too long. Almost 35 hours for a single WU doesn't figure.

 

[BinaryMage]

I have a question. I want to run Folding@home on my ATI GPU and WCG on my C2D E8500, so I downloaded the F@h GPU client. However, when I run it, it uses over 50% of my CPU. How do I fix this? (I want it to just run on the GPU)

I recently picked up an 8800GT to shove in my server's spare PCI-E slot and fold on, but it's running far too hot. Even at 100% fan speed, it runs at 85c. It's a single slot model. The case has somewhat decent ventilation, but it does have an 8800GTS in there with it, as well as an overclocked E2140, both running 100% full load all the time.

Do the single slot 8800GT's normally run this hot? Should I try finding a better cooler for it, or would simply replacing the thermal paste with MX-2 be good enough?

it does if it's an 2000000 step WU mine takes about that long and the 500k take about 23hrs if I don't let the PC idle much wich when I'm on it doesn't happen often so any cpu cycle taken away from SMP will slow it down quite a bit unless you use something like -SMP 3 on a quad
