Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

Thank you, everyone, for all the help. Both folding slots are working now with no problems, so you can mark this thread as solved (if the forum software allows that).

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

Overclocking can help but core 17 is very sensitive and will start trashing units real easy... OK, I'll steer clear of it for this WU, but do you know what exactly it's sensitive to? On the face of it, I can't see how a GPU running over-clocked at 1 GHz would appear different to a program to the sa...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

Based on the elapsed time between 1% and 2% in your log, that project will complete a bit over 3% every uninterrupted hour of processing. So overall at 12 hours per day it will take about 3 days. How would I go about calculating an estimate for myself from the logs? Not that I doubt your maths, it'...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

ETA is calculated from the date and time the WU was downloaded, and the based on how much time has passed and how long the average frame time is, projects out that ETA. If the date/time was off or adjusted it will skew the final estimate. The next WU should work better. OK, so provided that Napoleo...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

If you dont have something like evga precision or msi afterburner installed... I've got Afterburner; the GPU runs at 96 - 99% when F@H is set to Full, so it's working , just not hard enough. Which is strange, because apparently: Looking at the R250X Time Per Frame, it shouldn't have any problems re...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

Could the driver reset silently? It could do it when your not looking and you wouldn't notice it had happened. So, could I get Windows to put up a notification that doesn't go away until I acknowledge it, if the driver resets? I do NOT want to have to check the Event Viewer every time I leave and r...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

Pausing the WU before hibernation is a reasonable work-around. Great, good to know! Another similar event is the video-driver reset. Folding is running, but the reset messes with the GPU state resulting in a damaged WU. ... Pause followed by an unpause or restarting the folding client will often re...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

I have personally seen my TPFs double on a laptop while folding using an AMD mobile GPU when I let Windows shut down the display. Tested on numerous work units. I had to switch to using a blank screensaver to overcome the problem and the TPFs did return to 'normal'. Different setups may not experie...

Re: Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs

However, there seems to be something weird going on with your system clock: Obviously sleep and hibernate will cause clock skew warnings in the client. More importantly, sleep/hibernate only preserves the memory and CPU state. Not so with GPU(s), sleep/hibernate will more or less reset the GPU stat...

Deadline/ETA mismatch with GPU WUs (Solved)

Hello, I've only started folding recently, and my CPU seems to be working away merrily, but my GPU is currently getting Work Units that it will never complete within the deadline. I'm trying to determine if it's my card that's not working as hard as it could, or if it's the WUs themselves. Details, ...
