Folding Forum

but it will tell you if the current clocks are working or show an error if not. Raise the clocks until it fails. That will give you an idea of what the real client and work units will handle. Ymmv. Yeah, Im trying this way, but without errors shown, the GPU freezes after several hours :( for exampl...

I've seen Windows more than 10 years ago for the last time. There's no problem to compile the application myself, you mean this one https://github.com/pandegroup/fahbench?
But... benchmarks usually only measure the computation power, does this one suggest best clocks settings, too?

Hello guys! Let's make the good list of overclocking for folding! I'm folding with 6850 card with clocks 800,1000 and trying 900,900 now because these settings caused after 10 or more hours that it got frozen. Anybody has good settings for it? And I'm interested in 6950 settings, too :) I have stabl...

Thanks for the reply! Yes, patience was all that was needed to start getting WUs for my 6950. The ETA is a bit worrying: 13.5 days! Well past the expiration date (10/10/14). It's only chewed through 2.86% though, so maybe that value will decrease a bit. The estimated PPD when the GPU slot started w...

Hello! The problem has been solved! But none of the advices found anywhere on the net were useful :( The solution is: the opencl (catalyst) drivers should be adequate to the age of the device. Older cards need older catalysts. But older catalysts need some other changes in system (it's not possible ...

What about radeon 6850/6950? I'm testing both those gpus: they work but very slow, because gpu usage is about 1%. I'd like to have 90-100% load.

Edit by Mod: Post moved to keep the discussion in one place.

I've changed catalysts to older version, switched cpu slot off (there's only gpu slot), set gpu-usage to 100 (or 50 or 99 testing different values).
Behaviour: cpu load about 100%, gpu load about 1%. Estimated time for gpu; 9 days.
What to do?

GPU utilization should be set to 100%. CPU should be folding on only 1 CPU, or none. what is the parameter name ? set it in slot settings? cpu paused What driver version? Should be latest available for your OS. Plus the OpenCL part of the driver install. the newest catalyst etc, downloaded this wee...

I've been folding with my GPU for some hours and there's one thing I don't understand aticonfig --odgc shows 1-15% gpu load only, and cpu has much shorter estimated time then GPU... GPU is radeon 6850, CPU is 2-core athlon. I've added all possible parameters to slot, like client-type advantage and g...

Hello

I have some old GPUs (on PCI not PCIe). Can I use them for folding? Is there any list of GPUs that are useful and useless?
