Once you've completed a WU you should be added to the list in a day's time. Make sure you joined the right team though XD 71093!!!

Ok my ppd is up to 2261 and counting...

Hey capn since you're running the Nvidia GPU folding app, give some pointers what we need to run it man. CUDA WHAT? FAH GPU client ver, etc....

scene just add both ma cores and ma 88 to the mix

All you need is to check my first post in the thread this morning for the client and the nvidia cuda driver that philo posted. The setup for the clinet is much like the cpu version so you've got no problems there. Also you can use fahmon to view the progress of your gou's folding.

ok w1n, here's what i did..

1) i first downloaded the client that cap'n posted >>> http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/Folding@home-GPU-systray-612b6.msi

2) I did some research and saw that gpu performance will suffer unless i install the CUDA supported display drivers from nVidia >>> http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html

*all you have to do is download the CUDA drivers, the rest are for those who wanna develop CUDA appz*

3) After installing those, i saw that for the gpu2 FAH client to work the way it should, the core priority should be set to "Slightly Higher"

*found in the Folding@home client under preferences under the advanced tab*

4) Being all excited and shizz, i downloaded FahMon to measure my PPD.

*note to captain, set you core priority to "Slightly Higher" to increase your PPD, you should be getting at least 3500*

there you go, i think that's all i did, hope it helps a bit..

Arigato Phil. That being said, my run at the top has just been extended!!!! well... save that #2 will catch up once he gets a HD48xx card.. that could put me under some pressure XD

Study though... the 8800GT has 128 Stream processors... the HD48xx has 800 O_O ....

Also, did you use CUDA 1.1 or 2.0b

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #207 on:** July 09, 2008, 03:47:34 PM »

Thanks for the tip philo, will check it out once I get home.

Yes w1n, be scared. Card has already left amazon. I should get it by Monday, weekend if i'm really lucky.

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #208 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:21:21 PM »

2.0b, that's the only one that has support for the 8series cards, the older ones only support the newer cards

Right... I was reffering to unknown since he's #2... ur WAY down in the pecking order young one XD Besides 4870 or not, i've got alot more than a single 8800GT up my sleeve!

@ Philo, yeah I figured since it said something to that effect on the nvidia site, thanks all the same though.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #210 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:32:04 PM »

who tell you the unknown getting a hd4870?

Nephilim · « **Reply #211 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:40:14 PM »

wait wait wait...ent cap awe IS unknown??? we have another unknown...

:S

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #212 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:58:36 PM »

There are known knowns and unknown unknowns also unknown knowns and known unknowns but the unknown in question is known also as captain awesome.

W1nTry · « **Reply #213 on:** July 09, 2008, 05:12:28 PM »

Hmm I coulda sworn I saw a captain on the list... i've been working hard these days... stress must be getting to me XD

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #214 on:** July 09, 2008, 05:46:10 PM »

yea. There is a captain there, I was just trying to see if I could have changed my name from unknown to captain...but no luck. Is there any way I can do that?

BTW, is w1n self who changed my name so you know he's really out of it when he cant remember.

Nephilim · « **Reply #215 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:36:14 PM »

hey do you guys accept work units larger than 5 for the cpu and 10 for the gpu or just leave them as is?

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #216 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:38:14 PM »

I leave that setting default...well I used to when I used to use the gui client for cpu. W1n can confirm/deny.

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #217 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:45:15 PM »

yo peeps, i'm like number 10 on the list now, this morning i had 20 work units, now i have what, freaking 24.. and my gpu client alone is running, holy smoke and stuff.. this thing is the shizznaatt

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #218 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:55:25 PM »

This thing is strange. Philo, I did what you said about slightly higher priority.

Now the viewing window and fahmon itself gives two very different readings for my ppd. Yall getting that same thing?

Edit: Never mind. I'm mixing up ppd with iterations/sec. This thing is fast indeed. My ppd is currently 3900 and the client appears to take roughly 2.5 hours to fold a single unit. Eat yuh heart out dual core cpu!

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #219 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:57:56 PM »

what you seeing in the viewing window, the ppd aint the same thing as the iter/sec...
