Multiple Issues with AMD GPU Processing?

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Multiple Issues with AMD GPU Processing?

Post by kwthom »

Mods - please move if this is in the incorrect subforum...

In another thread, it would seem that multiple AMD GPU's may be having issues with certain WU's?

Windows 10 Pro
Intel Core I5 9400F @ 2.9 Ghz - 16GB RAM
Radeon RX 580, 8Gb RAM, software version 19.9.2
Not overclocked (1300MHz...) & temps hover around 80C - local temperatures are 26 - 28C these days...

I've not yet found the ability to track what's been successful and what hasn't been lately.

Should I kill the GPU for now?

Re: Multiple Issues with AMD GPU Processing?

The drivers may or may not help. A few days ago a problem was found where many AMD GPUs will fail with that "sortShortList" error if processing a WU from projects that had an atom count that fell within a range of sizes. A list of projects in that range are in the process of having assignments to those projects restricted from most AMD cards.

This project was one of those. I will see about checking into why it was assigned to your system.

P.S. the stock clock for the reference RX 580 is 1257 w/boost of 1340, so it appears your model has a minor factory overclock. Not a factor in this case, but some projects can load the card to where that may make a difference.

This isn't the first GPU error my system has generated.

Appreciate your response and looking forward to providing error free results.

EDIT: Updated GPU drivers (20.4.1) & restarted machine. Will monitor system for improvements, if any.

Update...nope.

Disabling GPU until further notice.

Re: Multiple Issues with AMD GPU Processing?

Post by mwroggenbuck »

I just purchased a RX 570 (yes, I know it is not the fastest, but it is a good price). I can't seem to run it against any folding at home GPU tasks. The GPU will fail, fall back to a checkpoint, then eventually give up. It crashes my Radeon control software (which will start a new instance). One time it locked up my computer (I had to do a power cycle).

I ran FurMark for over an hour with no problems. The temperature stayed below 75 and no crashes. I have been running Einstein at home (and other AMD GPU BOINC projects) with no issue.

Unless someone can think of something else, I have to believe that some of the Folding at Home GPU cores are not stable.

Anyone have thoughts?

Every now and then, a vendor publishes a driver that breaks F@H GPU due to a bug or missing features, etc. How long it takes to resolve, it depends on the vendor. However, you can help out by reporting it to the vendor and asking them to fix it.

This happened with three different sets of AMD drivers (I am currently using 20.4.1).

I may be dense, but if this is a driver problem, why do my other tasks (and games) work? This seems to be specific to Folding At Home.

Just a thought. I am just trying to problem solve and not point fingers. I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings.

AFAIK, games use OpenGL while F@H uses OpenCL. While they look similar to each other, they are very different. OpenGL is for rendering frames (games) while OpenCL is for compute (F@H and other software).

As Joe_H mentioned, once the Project assignment is fixed on F@H Servers, you will not be assigned WUs from that project but will be assigned WUs from other projects that your GPU can process :)

Depends on whether those other tasks use OpenCL, what parts of OpenCL they use, and so on. The GPU folding core uses OpenCL and heavily.

What they do know is that for WUs from projects whose size is about 170k atoms +/- the error occurs. Both the developers of the core and AMD are aware of the issue and are looking into it

I never thought about games not using OpenCL. Like you said, they probably use OpenGL or DirectX. I know that the benchmark program I used had OpenGL. However, I am sure that the other BONIC projects use OpenCL, but they may not use double precision, or the functions that folding at home uses. That all makes sense to me now. I appreciate the responses.

I will keep an eye on this thread. If anyone thinks this gets fixed, please post here and I will try again.

Thanks.

I'm just wondering...ratio of AMD to Nvidia GPU's as recorded previously leans heavily toward Nvidia.

How many *other* AMD GPU owners have no clue that they may not be fruitful processing CV19-related WU's.

I just re-enabled my GPU - Project: 11778 (Run 0, Clone 4164, Gen 23) WU seems to be processing at this time.

I don't think the stats are based on successful returns, but on the requests of WUs.

In past, there were years that the Nvidia cards did much more work than the AMD cards. You can see 'habit' at work, we are still buying Nvidia. (my GTX 1050ti LP just lost a fan and I ebayed a GTX 1650 LP without ever looking how strong an AMD card I could get in Low Profile with no power connectors, Just knee jerk to Nvidia)

This is the first 'big time' GPU I've purchased in... a really long time. Yes, I recognized this wasn't exactly bleeding edge tech when I built this current machine about a year ago, but it was decent horsepower for the money.

It crunched a *lot* of Seti@Home data, with no issues that I'm aware of. I'm fully cognizant that this is apples vs. oranges.

That earlier WU has completed with no errors, uploaded successfully.

Thus, some are acceptable to the GPU (myself and ~70,000 others have...), and some will fail. What that successful vs. unsuccessful ratio is?

Probably beyond my pay grade.

The education is appreciated - thanks!
