I have my cards running at 702/1782/995 and 702/1836/995 actual speeds. Setting your shaders to 1750 will actually have them at 1728. They increase in steps of 54 MHz (I think someone actually posted the chart of actual settable speeds earlier, if you use rivatuner you'll see what I mean). Both of these 8800GT's have the 1.1V bios mod and some pretty damn good cooling, a bit ghetto but good. I also found that lowering the core clock didn't give me too much more headroom for the shaders. I lowered mine for less heat output since my PNY with the shaders @ 1782 will freeze if the temps get too high. Each card really is a little different, the best way to find out how to get your highest shader clock is to take an hour or two away from folding and experiment with different clocks and scan for artifacts with ATItool.

I knew about the shader increments for mt gtx260. I didn't realize it applied to the 88xx series as well. Thanks, I will update my clocks. Sounds like 1782 is a good target.

Well, only a couple hundred before I mentioned anything oops I really like running the SMP client in addition to the GPU's since I've heard they are more robust in the amount of positive work they do for the folding cause (something about the type of simulations they can run compared to the GPU, can't remember where I read that... will look for it after I walk the dog before it starts to rain/ice/snow here in about 30 min.) Only downside is the added power consumption.

Beertintedgoggles, I think that not too many people go far backwards in our forum pages. So re-posting good stuff is never too much.

...we are just recycling good ideas!

So I've been thinking about getting a powerful nvidia card, such as the gtx260, but a lot of people say the card squeals. Can anyone recommend a good f@h card that doesn't squeal?

I set the shaders to 1836 (might as well go for it). So far so good but I will see over time if I get any unstable machine messages. The 2 cards are running at about 63C to 66C which I am comfortable with. Here is what my numbers look like on a 511 point unit.

I've yet to have one not "squeal" since the (g80's) were released

Yep, it has been taking quite awhile lately "attempting to get work". Seems like it's just been the last few days.... :ohwell:

Great work guy's. We have been averaging 300K+ all day long :toast:

Congrats to the Top 20 for their hard work.

Fitseries3 · Feb 22, 2009

are you kidding? i made the list? wow. thats funny.

too bad my lan port crapped out there for a bit. i had to get it back up and running with a wifi card. back churning away now though.

dadi_oh · Feb 22, 2009

My server is really cranking now. 13334 ppd on the one machine

Of course that is with the help of two 384 pointers...

@dadi-Nice work man! Thanks! We're cruising towards the top 100! Go TPU!

Great stuff.

I'm really happy with my new results. The new 8800GTS and 3 SMP Clients are making the difference for me.

I'm now folding only with 5 rigs (were 8 before), but my PPD is down only 6K.

Way to go TPU :toast:

Yeah, well congrats to ALL the folks folding, not just those who are in the top 20. It is a TEAM effort. Every work unit counts.

Fitseries3 · Feb 22, 2009

if i didnt have this damn wifi card in my board cause of the lan port on my dfi dying out today i would be folding on both gtx295's but yeah.... hopefully i can get that fixed this week.

i have a gtx260 that i will soon have in my main rig for folding as well.

hopefully soon i can be up in the top ranks with you guys and help tpu get into top 100.

Fit, you are our GTX295 Hero!

Put those wonders to sweat :rockout:

...you will fly to the top!

Thanks for the effort :toast:

hey... i figure my $1034 in 2 video cards otta dish out at least that much in help for someone else.

With 2 GTX295 folding the right way, you can get an average of ~25K PPD easy. :pimp:

question

should i just run one client on each card or one on each core? i could not get each core to work even after disabling SLI completely. i did manage to get one per card running.

by the looks of the temps i cant really tell.

card 1 core 1 is 74c max
card 1 core 2 is 68c max

card 2 core 1 is 72c max
card 2 core 2 is 69c max

i havent gotten it to run on both cards at once though. im new to this so i been having some setup issues.

Yes you can run 4 Clients. Some crazy fellas are running 8 Clients :eek:

(4 GTX 295 in a single rig :eek:

).

I have experience of running 4 Clients with 2 HD3870X2.

I will guide you tomorrow (Sunday)... I have to get some sleep now

It's all good brother! As a TEAM we're CRUISING to the top 100! Thanks for YOUR effort dude! :cool:

Got my rig stable again, crunching with my 8800GTX is back on track, just a tad slower. :\

I read today that the 9.2 catalyst driver supports multi GPU work... how do I get F@H to work on both gpus on my 4870X2?

BUCK NASTY · Feb 22, 2009

Woke up to 8 clients waiting to download new core. The core is not even available yet.
This is what Pande Group had to say about it:

Hi all,

Sorry about this. These WUs are not supposed to be going out to the non-beta public yet; we're currently testing core 14 in beta (as you've all noticed). I'm not sure why you're being assigned these WUs, as the project is set to beta-only. I'm looking into this and will try to get it resolved as soon as I can.

I understand your frustration with this kind of situation, but please understand that we do care, and we appreciate the effort that all of you make by donating your computer time. We're human and mistakes happen here too .

When this happens on the weekend, no one is @ Stanford to fix it. They have to try to send someone over and It take several hours to correct. The only temporary fix is to open your GPU2 folder and delete the queue file. Re-start the client and it will get a Fahcore 11 work unit.

I had the same thing on my machine. Deleted the queue and all the files in my work folder and that fixed it. Don't know how long I was out of commission... maybe 6 hours or so. Oh well... stuff happens...

Yep, i figure I was down 6 hrs also. I have not had it happen again since this morning.
