Re: CPU & mobo requirements for 6 high powered GPUs

Sharing a core (deliberately with affinity or accidentally oversubscribing) between CPU and GPU folding has a detrimental effect on CPU performance. I have not proved (or didn't notice the figures) whether GPU performance is also affected -- that is, although Core17 keeps a CPU core busy, it is not ...

Re: Number of active folders going down?

Perhaps multiple GPU cards in a single PC?

Re: Folding on Android

Well, the page starts with the sort of semi-truth that gives popular science a bad name: Many smartphones are a supercomputer! Oh? By the standards of 1980, yes. By today's standards, no. Though possibly a defensible statement if "many" is a very large number (many phones to make one proje...

Re: website down

This is bizarre. From Linux it works, from Vista (different PC, same ADSL connection) it doesn't. Tried clearing cache, same result.

7im, what's the Windows mantra for trace route?

Yes, that is accessible, but folding.stanford.edu gives the proxy page (above) and sub-pages are 404 Not Found.

Re: project 8900 - logs not matching external stats? missing

You seem to have the beta flag set. Support is not available here, you must be a member of the beta team and post in the beta forum to get support for that configuration.

Or try removing the beta flag.

Re: FahCore_17.exe keeps crashing

You have set client-type beta. I don't think this is a beta test problem, but try removing the beta flag first and then post a new log here.

Re: Low power GPU?

It seems to be working… Shhh.

Re: Low power GPU?

Not heard that before, I'd have to write down what to do- my machines feel hard done by if they're rebooted more than about once a month :wink: That's why I keep forgetting, too. But I seem to remember there's more to it -- something else needs configuring to get the fan speed to be controllable. T...

Re: Low power GPU?

I've not run multiple GPUs, so I can't help there. nvidia driver versions for Linux are not in line with Windows. My 660Ti runs OK with 310.44. You will need to set the fan speed (after each reboot :() in the nvidia x server settings app. I don't think you will need the newest gpus.txt. But if you d...
