My gtx280 is folding fine at 1.13v now. 1.12 next!

 

[johnspack]

Now testing my gtx280 at 1.11v. Temps not exceeding 60c. Will run overnight to be sure.

That card is full of drama, but has more lives than a cat. Congrats's on getting here stable again.

Robal, welcome to Folding at TPU!

Just stopping by to say got my semi new 9600gso and 8600gts folding 24/7 and gonna have another gso in couple days

 

[johnspack]

Interesting.. got tired of my 9800gtx just doing nothing, as I can't afford a psu for my server yet. So I popped it in with my gtx280, knowing I couldn't get it to fold before, and it folded all night without a hiccup! I guess somewhere between fixing my 280, switching to an intel xfire mobo from an athlon sli mobo, and newer drivers, they play nice together now! Next test, to see if they will both fold together.....

I just recently tried similar with my 9600GT and GTX285. While they both folded, the GTX285 seemed to only fold at about the same PPD as the 9600GT(~4500PPD). Stopping the 9600GT folding, and the GTX285 went right back to a normal PPD.

did you have a driver crash or something?

It could be something else. I have noticed that since I started crunching my PPD sometimes (happend 3 times in 10 days) decreased 40-60%. A restart fixed it everytime. I mention this since I know that you are crunching too.

Sorry guys, my main rig is down atm. But I'm certainly going to get off my lazy ass and get it back up and running.
My room is freezing without it...

I think it was the 190.xx+ drivers that allowed for the mixing and matching of cards. It was talked about a couple of months and should have a thread or two about it. Anyways, my 9600GSOs work in the same rig as one of my GTX 260s mostly without issue. There is the odd time where sometimes when I game, the GTX 260 will fold at 9600GSO speeds afterwards. However, closing the client and reopening it has always solved it.

well much thanks to 4x4n my router arrived today and its been properly configured once gpu 3 client hits ill start my 5850s roaring again along with my Phenom II and the PS3

When I got home from work today my screen was full of dots in different colours. I have overclocked my cpu, but that shouldn't affect the gpu should it?
I am running the gpu client as well as the smp client with vmware.
I did try to up the system memory voltage, so ill se how that work out when I come home today.
When I started to fold this morning, the fan on my gfx card didn't spin up as high as it used to either. I also checked the temperature and it was at 60c. Normally it would go up to 70c fairly quick and the fan would sound like a jet engine.
Do you think that my gfx card is dying?

 

[Solaris17]

gahhhhh WTF? the usb recieer for the Xeon server blows. stupid dynex net adapter disconnects randomely. who knows how long its been down sorry. ill try to get it sorted. its not the first time iv had trouble with this card. but i dont hae anything to replace it. im so angry right now. other machines were patched through that system. im going to break something im so F@#$ing angry

if you have your cpu overclocked and you are running a program like folding at home and you get those dots it probably means you are drawing too much power from your PSU. however, i had the same issue with the 8800gts and i wasnt overclocking the cpu. i was on pretty high clocks for the gpu tho so i chocked it up to an unstable card. folding definitely kills gpus so if you are using an older one that is most likey the issue.

The gpu have hardly been used. I got it from a friend for about a month ago, and before that he only used it a couple of weeks. I doubt it it is the psu. I am not using anything near the maximum output.
When I got home from work today the computer was still folding happily, and there were no dots on the screen, so I think raising the voltage on the system memory did the trick

 

[johnspack]

Wow, never thought I'd see it again.. my gtx280 and 9800gtx folding happily away together in the same box! Been the better part of a year since I could do that. Ppd is about right for both cards.

 

[theonedub]

Horrible weather again, may need to shut it all down for the next 9 hours

Oh yeah, its definitely getting shut down. Back in 9 hours!

 

[johnspack]

Sorry about posting useless info, but I'm kind of excited about the fact that I can continue to game and do high end graphics composing on my 280, while my 9800gtx keeps folding full time. In the same rig! I could never do this before. So very kewl!

 

[johnspack]

Going to post a personal milestone, I never thought I'd get to, of 2.75 mil tonight. Don't need a a piece of pie, will get at 3mil!
Oops I hope I do, may have to fire back up big boy for the finish.... Nope, sorry, I have to run bigboy overnight to do it. I will....

 

[johnspack]

Okay, this is an epiphany from me... I had no idea I could game at full strength on my 280, while my 9800gtx was still folding. And no effect on either. Maybe my old athlon mobo couldn't handle it, but I guess newer systems can. I'll bet a lot of people don't know this!

 

[theonedub]

Second GTX 275 came into today and is installed. Getting it setup to run F@H now. I hate attempting to setup multi GPU Folding If I get stuck I will resort to Teamviewer for assistance

 

[theonedub]

Hate to double post, but that was easier than I thought:

Thunderstorms approaching so I think I will shut it down for now. Will have to see what kind of temps I get with the card stacked like this and will have to OC the XFX later on when I have better weather.

Strange thing though, when I first installed the XFX 275 it ran at 100% fan speed and was not detected in Windows. I rebooted and it was fine. Should I be concerned?
