stuck at 99.99%

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

stuck at 99.99%

Post by wered »

ok, all three of the testing running on my gpus have been sitting at 99.99% for over and hour now, they have al been saying between 6-14 seconds to go for over an hour, can anyone explain to me why this is or whats wrong so i can fix it?

system specs
MSI 990FXA-GD80
AMD FX-8350
16gigs Gskill sniper 2133mhz
2 XFX Double-D Radeon HD6850s
1 Msi Twin FROZER radeoon HD6770 (catalyst 12.11)
2 seagte 1tb hard drives 7200rpm

You need to look at the logs to find out what they are doing. It is common for the v7 client to sit there for up to a frame after being unpaused. An hour is a bit long for a frame time for most GPU's. The v7 client can also sit at 99% as a WU is preparing to be sent but it would also be unusual for all 3 GPU's to finish at the same time. So one has to look at the logs.

I wonder if they're all working on the same WU...attempt to write/complete at once.

forgot to add, since installing the drivers, wu00 is now at 73%, 01 is still at 99.99% with 7 seconds to go like it was all night long, and 02 is now at 69%, so im not sure what is up with that?

well it sat for about another hour and then finnished, so im guessing the new drivers fixed that problem, also one other thing, my gpus never go above 40% usage, why is that?

The GPU utilization is a driver problem. Either revert back to 12.8 or go to one of the later beta releases.

Besides the issue mentioned with some versions of the Catalyst drivers not fully utilizing the ATI GPU's for folding, I noticed your CPU is overcommitted. Each ATI GPU can use up to an entire CPU core to process data going to and from the GPU, so with your CPU slot set at SMP:8 the GPU and CPU slots are fighting for CPU resources. I would recommend changing the SMP slot down to a setting of at least 6, 4 or 5 might work even better. The contention over CPU usage is probably why the GPU core takes a long time to do the end of run finishing up to make the WU ready to upload.

well after i updated to 13.1 i no longer had the issue of being stuck at 99% its just not using the graphics card fully, so the going back to the 12.8 drivers worked, but it hindered my computers performance in crysis 3 alot so i went back to 13.1 and it will just have to stay that way until the drivers update and work right with it
