Folding Forum

With Dr. Pande blogging about the large advances for AMD GPU ppd due to Core 17, is that now considered the go-to GPU line for pure folding? Anybody have hard ppd data? Would appreciate input. Thanks.

Just like your money, it pays to diversify!

Yes, for some reason EVGA's Precision only allows the GTX 460 card to go to 70% fan speed, which seems dumb.

I now have to also report seeing severe lag with the 8031 WU and 301.24 drivers, specifically it is WU 13,22,45. Resolved after rollback to 285.xx driver

The only one of my 15 Fermi cards that had crashed with this setup and WU was somewhat OC'd using EVGA's Precision. I have noticed that with these newer WU, they don't tolerate OCing at all. If you have increased your GPU core beyond stock, try lowering it back to stock speeds and trying the 301.xx ...

My friend Bruce discovered an issue with these drivers and the 803X class of WU and I concur on at least one machine running these drivers with a GTX 570. Am checking on some other machines at my remote location today and will get back.

Perhaps these new drivers will fix the problem many of us were having with their latest WHQL driver regarding stopping the v7 client. Will try them now and get back here.... **EDIT** The new Beta Drivers appear to fix the previous issues of stopping the v7 client that the 296.XX series had...Go get ...

From Tom's Hardware today...well-done article. Any hard-core folder would easily shoot above "enthusiast" or "gamer" as we run flat-out 24/7:

I would love to fire up the SMP client with the flag -smp 256 hahahaha:

Thank you 7im, things are rolling along nicely now.....

It doesn't give out work, either.

Thanks cody, it is indeed working successfully now. Man, that was really pesky.

After uninstalling and deleting everything I am now getting HTTP GET returned error code 500 when trying to download Core_15. Serverstats show this server OK. Is it still my wacky machine? Again, the GPU2 client worked normally as a console. Thank you.

Well, a good idea Panther, and I tried it. However, the console client is only for GPU2 far as I can tell and it loaded a Core_78 WU and was working on that fine. Still futzing with that GPU3 client as I want optimum use of this Fermi.

Thanks, Bruce. I have uninstalled the client entirely, deleted the Roaming file. Downloaded a new client from the website, installed it, configured it and it comes back with this confounded WU from server171.67.108.31. I did this twice. And restarted the entire machine too. I admit to being flummoxed.
