Hey King,
Is that Tatsu? I haven't been to Magic Mountain in a couple years so I haven't actually seen it yet.

Hey King,
Is that Tatsu? I haven't been to Magic Mountain in a couple years so I haven't actually seen it yet.
hey... My room is cold, so the folding is resuming on my 9800GTX+ while I sleep!
Just joined up. Never had a rig capable of doing much with folding before (always lowend stuff geared to silence) but now have a 4870 so figured I'd throw in.
I signed up although Im not going to have this laptop for long and am going to have an actual rig. My parents said i had to give them my laptop to build a desktop so how long do you think that took me to answer. I will also have in my possession my old Pentium III and matrox 500 box back soon and will make that a 24/7 folding box that i can add a third 120mb SD memory stick to. i should probably also do a fresh install of XP. But i know my dad wont let me do that. I am folding as =SOC=_Phenom_II. Do you think that the Pentium III will do fine.
i just joined with my sig system but i have been running the gpu client cuz i have found it performs much better.... how do you run two seperate instances of the gpu client on each seperate card??? i know that you have to first take SLI off but the guide on the F@H website didnt work for me...
There are 2 guides. Also what OS you running? The guide on F @ H site worked for me
i am using vista 32 bit
i followed all the instructions for that guide but when i run f@h it shows the following dialog:

Look like your flags are wrong. Are you trying to run 2 clients on 2 card? If so you need to have -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 for your flags.
so i went into the properties for the links i used...
GPU 1

GPU 2

in the "start in" the address is
C:\Users\Karan\AppData\Roaming\Folding@Home-gpu
and
C:\Users\Karan\AppData\Roaming\Folding@Home-gpu2
it seems to me that that is the problem but when i try to change it to gpu0 and gpu1 or even gpu1 and gpu2 it gives me an error saying that no such file is present
::EDIT:: Maybe this is the problem... when i made shortcuts to the desktop, they were that of the F@H gpu .exe file not the F@H x86 .exe file?????
::::EDIT:::: Seems to have fixed it but now complaining that 2nd gpu's drivers are out of date......as far as i know drivers are all up to date
EDIT: Didnt see that you may have fixed it. not sure why is says driver out of date. Just reinstall driver and try again.
This is exactly how mine looks... I think I may see an issue: on your target it should have a space between gpu and #
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 0
C:\Users\Powilleit\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 1
C:\Users\Powilleit\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu2
Also, can you fold on either card right now the way you have it? Also dont forget when you initially start it; you have to config and make sure user id is different.
I am using version 6.23 too. the system tray version as well. I followed the guide on F @ H exactly, no issues. there has got to be some minor mistake you/ we are overlooking.
I personally always install into a seperate directory such as C:\FAH_GPU1 as Vista security can cause problems if you use Program Files and User files locations.
Also when you run for the first time with -configonly flag make sure that you add additional parameters -gpu 0 -local (that will ensure that all files are in one directory). Also, that way you don't need to edit command line in desktop shortcut to exe.
Ok so I ran into a weird problem with Win7. I had been folding on the Win7 Build 7000 and upgraded to build 7100. I did a clean install so I had to reinstall my folding software and I configed it to my username and team number 36362 but for some reason keeps turning WUs into Default. Anyone know why this may be happening. I mean I dont care about the points as long as I am folding and completing the tasks but I would like to help out XS as much as I can even though it isn't much right now.
well all of a sudden now both are showing the same driver issues I'll reinstall when iget home today... See if that fixes it...
I had this problem on vista on a machine a while back, but cant recall how I fixed it. I think I had left over files from another install and ati card. I think I totally wiped FAH off the machine and did a fresh install; re-setup and was fine.
I think it has something to do with the shortcut not being proper so to speak.
Wazzup Guys ,
Just stopping by to say hello and that I'm throwing my gpus in the ring.
I have ran WCG for over a year now and am getting tired of it(No GPU client, when the gpus are far more powerful than a CPU.),but I'll leave some power there .But I have 2 4890s and a Phenom2 940 @3.6 that will be running F@H.
I know neither are stellar performers versus I7 and Nvidia but you use what ya got lol.
Also used this post to help me get ma crap right.http://forum.xcpus.com/xtreme-foldin...pu-load-2.html
Made quite a difference.
Welcome aboard!
Ordered 2 vf1000 zalman coolers,2 sets of copper ram sinks and mosfet coolers for the voltage regs on these cards .
one ran fine all day yesterday@925/1100 .Made my dummy plug got #2 going and error CITY on both,damn things wouldn't add 2+2 correctly.:explode::dammit:
Finally had to back the card mem down to 900 to get it stable.
Hence the ram sinks on order.
So right now I have 2 cpu clients going and 2 vga going. :yepp:
i've got F@H GPU client running on my 9600GT while WCG on my cpu... both run whenever im not using the computer... but i still have to play my games :)
should have a S939 A64 system running F@H soon as well.
