Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

I finally got the SMP client working on my q6700 CPU and the F@H monitor is showing about 2200 ppd. It was a pain to get setup, but it boosted my ppd by 4 times my average (and I'm not overclocking it either).

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

Thanks for the expectation. I chose that one over the GTS250 because I got it for $10 less and it came with the lifetime warranty instead of the 2 year warranty. Even if the GTS250 is a bit faster, it would be nice to have EVGA replace it after 5 years instead of buying a new one. I've had too many ...

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

I ordered a Geforce 9800GTX+ today, so hopefully it works well and I can start cranking out the WU's. $120 after rebate and a lifetime warranty!

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

I was thinking about this one for $80, now that I've looked around a bit:

I wonder how many PPD I could expect from that?

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

My CPU is plenty fast 2.66 GHz (quad core). The GPU is overclocked to 720 MHz. It seems like a waste of time to run the GPU for 3 days and then miss the deadline by 2 hours. :( Just not enough 'bandwidth' on the GPU processing power. If there was a good replacement video card I could get for $50 ran...

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

No help so far that has made any difference. Anyone have any ideas?

I got to 96% and then the final deadline was 1 minute away - so I set the clock on Windows back 7 hours to make sure I finished - instead of getting 0 points after 3 days. We'll see if it registers.

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

FLUSH_INTERVAL = 32 (for now). I am running the GPU at ~97%, per the CCC. What next? It looks like I'll be 5 hours overdue (still out 2 days and 6 hours) at this rate on the current WU, per the F@H Monitor utility. This is close than ever, but still not under the limit. I'm at about 29% complete wit...

Re: GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

I run the GPU core 24/7. Can someone elaborate on the advanced methods if it is anything more than the flag below (-advmethods)? I've not seen anything effective so far to help get a WU done in time. I have the newest Catalyst Control center version, GPU version 6-23, and the latest core ATI 1.24 I'...

GPU WU's not competing before final deadline

I have an ATI 3450 chip on my GPU (ASUS $40 video card) and I'm running the F@H GPU client 6.23. I have been trying to complete a WU for about 2 weeks and haven't been able to finish one before the final deadline hits. I don't end up getting any points and would like to be able to finish a WU on my ...
