Handful of issues.

T.Youngblood · Post by **T.Youngblood** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 2:33 am

So, to start off, I have a GTX 570, 670, and an Intel 2500k as hardware, all installed in the same machine.

Installation seemed to work, I'm using GPU+SMP. Unfortunately, F@H only reads my 570, and not my 670. And when I start the fold, the 570 doesn't even work. It says "running" but is stuck at ETA "unknown". It was successfully assigned a task, and credit, but it never starts processing.

I would like to get both gpus and the cpu running, all at the same time, if possible.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Upon posting, I was trying to use the regular client. Now I'm attempting to use the "high-performance" client, but to no avail. It's once again stuck. Command line reads:

[02:39:00] Calling fah_main args: 14 usage=100
[02:39:00]
...

The 670 is a kepler GPU and needs a new core that is currently being beta tested. You need to join the beta team and accept all that that means to GPU fold with that card currently.

We may be able to get your 570 to work without the beta team status. My guess is that the folding client is trying to fold on the 670 rather than the 570 since your symptom is identical to what happens when that happens. You may be able to get the GPU client to fold on the 570 by configuring the FAHControl to use the 570. Make sure you are in advanced mode. Then click configure; Go to the slots tab; double click on the GPU slot and increment the GPU index to 1. Click OK and then click save. Restart folding and see if you now have your 570 folding.

Best would be to use the v7 client

I'm coming up with the error:

"On client 'local' 127.0.0.1

GPU 1 not found"

I've attempted using both.

Have you placed the GPUs.txt file in the Data Directory and restart the client. Does it now detect both GPU's?

Need a copy of the log including the "system" portion

It successfully detected the 670, but not the 570. Could this be a driver issue?

Non-detection by the folding client is not normally a driver issue as long as Windows and the Nvidia control panel can see the card. Do they?

I really was assuming that it was the 670 that was not being seen as it was likely the newer card. However, it is possible that the 570 is the one not listed in the GPUs.txt file. You can run GPU-Z and use the the Device ID, aka PCI ID, to check it against the white list. Another way is to run fahclient --lspci from within a DOS box to get the same info. If the card is not listed it may take some time for Stanford to add the card to the GPUs.txt. Post the info here, if not in the GPUs.txt file.
