Re: What is best practice for overclocking / undervolting a 50xx in Linux?
You can also increase the memory clock, which is useful for very large WUs (many atoms) and most GPUs handle it far better. The actual values for both shader and memory clock offsets varies not just for individual models, but for actual individual cards themselves. That is why the current values ar...

Re: Plan my folding sessions and work
I just fold 23/7 and have downtime when needed to blow out the system. With a stable system there is no need to quit folding for video calls, watching video, even light gaming, along with other tasks. So I don't need to "keep up" with any scheduling, the system just keeps running. LAR syst...

Re: gpu disabled 5080
Just to add to the thread: I had a similar issue yesterday when I installed a new GPU on 7.6.21 and it detected but showed as disabled. Tried slot options, a full uninstall and reinstall of 7.6.21 and several reboots, the new driver confirmations, etc. Nothing was making it work. Installed the 8.5.6...

Re: Setting affinity to maximize efficiency on an AMD cpu with Linux: a "case of study"
Lem, As stated above by ToTow, frame time and/or PPD values are the only real way to measure improvements on F@H. Though it can take more time to test, I'd suggest you do so, testing with multiple methods (CPU and GPU, CPU only, GPU only, Boinc included wherever you do it, etc) and find hard results...

Re: Why can't I do more than 1 WU at a time?
Which work unit IS running? I suspect that your CPU is folding, and the issue lies with detection of the GPU and/or iGPU.

Re: Weird "exception: bad allocation" behaviour
Other than the error showing up, it worked fine for me on V7. I just haven't had any of them since November.

Re: Weird "exception: bad allocation" behaviour
Forgot about this thread, and have confirmed the same error. I finally caught the last one and watched when it tossed the error, and there was plenty of memory left to use if it was needed. I noticed the trend of it being 18261 for me back before this thread. I didn't get many of those projects but ...

Re: Paid team
I surely see your view, but that is where I have to make the point that folding is an act of giving and also, nothing is truly disconnected. For example, I can run a fold, heat my home and give a researcher what they need. Folding could not be described as a total loss. I wouldn't be willing to pay...

Re: Project: 15209 (Run 4, Clone 0, Gen 0)
That's the way the system works. At this point the researcher should get a notification of the failures, and it should quit being assigned.
Then the researcher can take a look and try to figure out why it failed.

Re: 18283 - RCG 17,0,181
It happens at times. Once it fails 5 times the researcher is notified and it should quit going out on the assignment servers. They can then use the information to try to figure out why it failed at the point it did.

Re: What is best practice for overclocking / undervolting a 50xx in Linux?
The testing I did was on Turing hardware, with many fewer cores. I would imagine at some point the memory bandwidth vs total core count comes into the picture, along with power limits and where a little extra power helps and doesn't. I've found that most changes will work on all projects, but at tim...

Re: 2025-09-11 -- CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700)
Just food for thought.... I have used both the EVGA (Precision X1) and MSI Afterburner software without any issues, but keep in mind in some cases you can set it to boot to that setting and might have missed it. But in either case, both seem to work fine. BUT I did have one project when I first got ...

Re: 2025-09-11 -- CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700)
All those projects are still in beta testing. If you are on the beta team, you should have posted in the beta section. If you are not on the beta team, you now know one of the reasons why beta testing can be less stable and result in failed work units. There may be issues that cause instability with...

To say that he goes in depth would be an understatement. Looking for that efficiency always makes sense for the long game.Albuquerquefx wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 11:24 pm That thread is a gold mine, thank you for posting it Bob! I know what I'm gonna be doing this weekend![]()

Re: What happens with dumped WUs?
Well, until you try you don't know. Maybe you are playing more intensive games then Joe H. is, but then again, maybe not. And I can't count how many times people have tried to tell me that I can't do many of the things we do while folding..... but we do. Often I'm logged in and running folding, HFM,...
