Problem with 1080 Ti BAD_WORK_UNIT or Bad GPU?
Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2020 7:28 pm
by Jertzuu
So, I have had this problem for almost 2 weeks. My GPU is unable to finish the projects assigned to it. I did manage to finish 2 or 3 project successfully when I started folding 2 weeks ago.
The GPU is not overclocked at the moment, rather underclocked. I have tried everything I could find from the forum, reinstalled the client, reinstalled graphics drivers directly from NVidia, changed GPU core index from -1 to 1 and back to -1 again, lowered the clocks on the GPU, lowered and raised power limit and raised the core voltage.
I'm really starting to run out of options and knowledge on behalf of the problem. Is there anything else I could try to make it work?
The GPU is a
Zotac AMP! Extreme GTX 1080 Ti if that is of any help.
Could this just be a bad silicon lottery and a card that is just not capable of folding? I have seen a few other instances on the forum, but I highly doubt it since I was able to finish a few of my projects.
If there is any additional information needed, I am more than happy to try and provide it.
And according to GPU-Z, I have OpenCL enabled

Unfortunately this sounds like a faulty GPU. I have never had a card fold and fail and escape RMA status. Assuming you are not using any flags like advanced or beta, it would appear your GPU or system has a problem.
Do you have another gpu you can test in that system? This would help narrow down any problems.

I have a few yes, and I could try them tomorrow. But I do doubt that it could be an issue somewhere else in the system other than in the GPU itself.
I just removed all previous drivers with DDU, and I'll see if that helped anything

Does the card runs fine in Furmak with manufacturer default clocks ?

I haven't tried Furmark, but 3DMark stress tests give about 92% stability on stock clocks. With my current settings I get about 98,5%. Could it just be a bad card?

A failure that quickly into processing strikes me as either a genuinely bad set of WUs or a faulty GPU. A faulty GPU or system instability is much more likely and I'd contact the gpu manufacturer for guidance as you'll need to start there for RMA purposes anyway.

Bad GPU is what I'm suspecting as well, but I do think it is rather weird that is started acting up after a few projects. I don't
really believe it could be a set of bad WUs
I need to look up the paperwork from this card, since I bought it 2nd hand

I just have joined the F@H community and started with a self-assembled box with 1080i. And I see the same error last three days (actually the whole time since I joined). A couple of times I saw the GPU becoming busy and it even moved ahead with a WU for a fraction of percent, but then it dropped again. My system is Linux Mint 19.3 with CUDA 10.2 and drivers v.440 installed. The software recognizes it fine, but can't start any WU. I don't think the GPU is bad -- I just tested CUDA libraries with TensorFlow and it worked fine.

Welcome to the F@H Forum pavelanni,
Can you please create a new there here (viewforum.php?f=61) and in your post, please provide the log ensuring that you include the top section of the log which has your system configuration (details in my signature). Once we have that, we will have sufficient data to start troubleshooting

Did a bit of brainstorming with my friend, and we came to the conclusion that I need to lower the clocks in my CPU, to try if I can get my GPU to fold, since the overclocks would crash my CPU units. And we're not mistaken GPU folding needs a thread to work. So far so good, it seems to have done the trick. I'll post updates to help other people with the same problem
Edit: still getting the following log about once per WU, but now it is able to continue:
Code: Select all
07:17:45:WU00:FS00:0x22:Bad State detected... attempting to resume from last good checkpoint. Is your system overclocked?
07:17:45:WU00:FS00:0x22:Following exception occured: Particle coordinate is nan
CPU is running at stock speeds, GPU core clock is lowered as low as MSI Afterburner will allow, and changed thread amount to 9 in FAHControl.
GPU-Z is still giving me vRel, but as of now it seems to be folding nicely. 2 hours per GPU WUs, and around 4 hours on CPU WUs

You could try changing cpu to 8. nan is likely a WU error and not directly related to overclocking.

The NaN was in the GPU WU, and yes there is a high correlation of a NaN occurring and an overclock on a GPU being too much, a voltage set too low, or overheating of some component(s) on the GPU.
Reducing the CPU thread count does provide an extra thread for GPU processing or general system overhead. With some of the larger GPU WUs that extra thread is useful in keeping the GPU processing at full speed.
