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.

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,...

Re: What is best practice for overclocking / undervolting a 50xx in Linux?

Just for input - Myself and a couple others have found that lowering the memory clocks is actually more efficient. I haven't seen any testing on newere hardware, but the idea is that anything since Turing has more than enough memory bandwidth and there is little if anything to be gained. BUT driving...

Re: What happens with dumped WUs?

There are options, but not all of them might work for you. But before we even get to that point, what are you using the computer for that is so intensive you can't fold and do those tasks at the same time? We surf the 'net, stream videos, edit photos and videos, work on spreadsheets, etc.... all whi...

I can't speak for anybody else, but site access is fine for me now. I hadn't even sent Jason an email yet. Maybe he was still tweaking some things or the DNS issues cleared up.

Re: AMD RX480 8GB stuck in wait loop

480 is old and nearly obsolete. It will not get too many work units to fold. On top of that future upgrade in HIP will not officially support Poliaris or older GPUs. Is there any way for you internal testers to see actual numbers of what is in the assignment ques? Just curious, since I had some del...

Re: AMD RX480 8GB stuck in wait loop

I've had some assignment delays today on a species 7 GPU. I'm not sure if there are shortages for any specific species lately, especially us slower GPU's. I know that there were some shortages for the more powerful GPU's, but I think that has been resolved. I haven't seen anything indicating server ...

Re: What has happened to the stats maintained at https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/

Just bumping this old thread to see if anyone else is currently having any issues. I am getting a "403 Forbidden" message when I try to go to EOC. Since I can't get his contact, and most likely can't email him anyway, is there anyone willing to help me out and send him a message so I can g...

Re: Restarting FAH

I really doubt you were generating 20m with v6 client. And client version has no influence in PPD Which completely ignores the fact that a 4090 can and will produce 20M PPD or more on average. OP, if you just restarted it today, it's probably just a lack of a suitable work unit. There have been rep...

Re: Is my GPU failing/ should I stop folding? Video output issues

Stability is key for folding, but often a couple memory errors won't cause problems either. I had some memory with major issues at one point, and never got any video or folding instability at all. But if your video display issues go away, you might have found an answer. But I would suspect problems ...

Re: Best way to present folding stats?

There are ways to monitor points and work units easily. https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor or https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/aggregate_summary.php?s= Neither method tracks hours, but with a little effort you could probably just find your average PPD, then do the math to estimate the hour...

I don't have a message yet, and for now it's just a local account. Hopefully I'll get one, whether I have to pay or not.
