Stop trolling... I didn't crash anything intentionally, i tried that like couple times... Not my problem that you can't adjust gpu usage and your computer is unusable during crunching... Btw if this is such deal, they should mention it in tutorials, or in program. I can't avoid something, i don't know about...bruce wrote:Ordinarily, it fine to learn by testing, but it's not ok to intentionally crash perfectly good production WUs. Every WU is unique and is assigned to ONE person. If it crashes, it has to be assigned to someone else and if it it fails too many times, it is withdrawn from distribution. Such failure are costly to scientific research. WUs are not "free"empleat wrote:... Problem was: WU always crashed, except once i almost finished a project!!! But i tried that many times and it had always crashed at some point... I don't know if, because of instability, or to many errors piled up. And whether or no these data would be useful, even if WU finished! That was only on 780. I have 2070 super now - unfortunately, but i didn't test it yet. But on 3000 series something like 3080/90, one WU could take like 1-2 hours, or less. On 780 one wu took 6-8 hours! I think that could finish! Currently no new projects available, so i test it later...
I did not know, that you can crunch completed WU. But i did that like couple times only, don't worry and it was another WU - it gave me! I have Geforce 2070 super now and it says one WU ETA 2 hours. Using 3000 series, that could be even faster! Probably under 1 hour! Someone should test that on completed WU than, when 3080/90 will come out!!! I don't know if this is coincidence. But i am using demanding video renderer, when watching TV shows, which already cause like 80% GPU usage. Previously i couldn't watch tv shows, even when GPU usage was 10%, because WU maxed GPU usage to 99%! But now, ETA increased from 2 hours to 2 day and tv show is completely smooth without fps drops! So they seem FAH did something to address that! Or new GPUS are better at scheduling! This is interesting my gpu usage is like 33-35% on default setting. Even on full power - GPU usage is still "35%". So it seems it doesn't take advantage of high end gpu, i don't mind that at all! I could spare more "GPU %", as i will be using that only when watching tv shows anyways, but at least my computer is usableNeil-B wrote:r space to overco
Also FAH could have option to send data in bursts, they experimented with! Amateurs could easily make utility to cause gpu load, so gpu won't heat up and cool down rapidly, which was the problem...
