Currently got 3x772 and 3x773 what the? :(
@jimwah, I understand. :)
I'm going to finish up a 2124 (396 points) in about 5 hours. Then I have a 773 (44 points), then a 772 (139 points), and another 2124 (in order). The two system at home I have are working on a 396 pointer I believe it is and then a smaller one, I think a 774 or something like that.
After this first 2124 is done on my main system I'm switching it totally over to GPU, rack up the points faster that way :D
*EDIT* Hey click on my stats pic, look at that graph, isn't that sweet? And look, no threats either, and after this week we will have moved up 4 ranks! :woot:
Keep it up guys :toast:
*EDIT2* I pulled away a little more GAM, now it is 80 days before you overtake me :p: And I'm gonna be packing on another system beginning of next week, plus full-time GPU folding. I might stay ahead yet :D
Hmm. We'll see mate. ;)
I might have to consider some processor upgrades. Or maybe a new GPU for HTPC.
Don't you dare otherwise you'll force me to spend even more money :p: :lol2:Quote:

Hey I want to get there too! But it seems a little ways away for me... But I'm trying! :D
:hehe: I only made it up there yesterday 'cos I've put my Allendale to work finally - whether I'll stay up there or not I don't know. Shame about the 77x projects man, I always got a horrible ppd off those - haven't spotted one here recently (I'll check 'em out again tonight & see what I've got).
MORE 772's and 773's!!! :eek:
I don't believe it :shakes:
yeah 2 of my systems have 772's as well :( They take forever for the tiny amount of points you get out of them. For something that small it should take 24 hours MAXQuote:

With 5 more 772's and 1 more 773 on their way. :shakes:
@Rmc, 'way to go' mate. Enjoy it while it lasts :hehe:
Still no 77x's here - all 18xx & 24xx's; can't complain the ppd seems about what I'd expect - an old rig I hadn't fired up for a while had a 772 iirc, but I dumped that and got an 153 pointer instead.
Doing a 772 and a 773 right now... 44 Points? Worthless... might as well not give you any.
I probably won't have the lead for long... :)
F&H Forum down? I get a blank page whenever I try to access it.
I wanted to see what I could find on these damn 772/773's.
I've now got a total of 10 WUs each (yeah, that's 20!) and they're still comin'.... :shakes:
One thing I did notice though, these WUs have no Final Deadline. I've double-checked and even 'reconfigured' my clients and I don't have that value set, i.e., I am not limiting the client to download WUs without final deadlines.
I don't get it, can I really be that unlucky? Or do they think that I am only good for 772's n 773's ;)
@Rmc, you're holding on there buddy. :wtf: ;)
These 772/773/774's come through in a group every so often and don't have deadlines, nothing really you can do to keep them from coming in when they have a huge batch they send out.
I'm getting a ton of 772's as well =(
Check out the second article on the news page here: http://folding.stanford.edu/news.htmlQuote:

Thanks Jimwah but, I'm not a member so, no good for me for the moment. :)Quote:

I agree, this shouldn't affect the type of WUs in any way. Besides, if you've changed yours to 'low' and you are not getting the 77x's, then this pretty much concludes it.
@garnin, sorry to hear. Have you had anything else in between recently? My tally is now:
772: 13
773: 11
The last 20 or thereabouts have come one after the other with nothing else in between and I am working on 6 of them now!!!
It's like Groundhog day, :lastweek:
:shrug:
I have been getting my fair share of 772's as well, but it doesn't look like its as bad as yours GAM... probably the reason i'm in the lead for now. I've still landed some 600 point WUs here and there. I'll be eclipsing 15,000 points on my next WU completion most likely, and will be in the Top 50 soon. :)
I am debating about selling my P4, and building up one of these:
Pentium D 805 (Oc'ed to maybe 3.0 or 3.2, nothing major)
~1 GB RAM
ATI X1950 Pro (When they come out... should be great value for GPU folding)
And then running one instance of CPU folding and one instance of GPU folding... could be a big boost in PPD. :) Still thinking about it though...
@Rmc, :wtf:
:eek: I just checked the Individual User List - production - and some of you guys have leaped 100+ on production! (except poor old Scoop and Sparky... and me ;))
Rmc into the 800+, double :wtf: (Your lead is not necessarily because of my deficiency, you're producin' baby :cool:)
nemin aka jbmv @ 1100+ :wtf:
@Rmc, can you hold off on the upgrades for a bit. I'm kinda' short on cash. ...naturally I'd have to follow suit similarly ;)
You've basically specified my HTPC bar the GPU. So I could grab the same GPU and we'd might retain our continuity. :D
ps. Please excuse my emoticon addiction.
\rant>
Agreed. My bank account doesn't appreciate it ;)Quote:

I did a little investigative research and discovered the following in all my logs:

[16:51:36] Connecting to http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/
[16:51:57] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[16:51:57] + Could not connect to Assignment Server

[16:51:58] Posted data.
Despite having a port filter set for port 8080, for some reason the router wasn't letting these through and hence, F@H would try Assignment Server 2 on port 80! This server must be set up to give out these projects preferentially.
I respecified the port filter, saved the config to flash and rebooted the modem/router.
Lo and behold, at the end of the next WU I got the following:
[21:35:30] - Connecting to assignment server

I'm still getting all 772/773's. I've decided to shut down one of my cores and set-up catalyst 6.10 so I can try GPU folding.
I'm at 48% right now on my x1900xt and it takes about 8 min per frame. Right now, it's running relatively cool (60 C) and I want to try to take it above the 2D speeds (500/594) and try to make better times. Does anyone know how? I don't have anything installed besides the Catalyst control center. Thanks
Man I keep getting 772/773's now too, they are the worst. I've done like 10 on the C2D machine alone lol, it gets a solid 235ppd on p772 (3.0GHz allendale). I've gotten a few other proteins most are like 200-300ppd, but holy crap p1495 is ~1000ppd! I've only done 1 on this machine i think, at least since I found fahmon, but it was 985 avg. 1027 min ! I know its a "bonus" WU but geez thats crazy. My P4 2.8GHz did one at only 320ppd.
@Garnin here's my experience so far with GPU folding. I use this ATITool_0.25b14 because they changed the way clocks are set somehow in this latest one, ATITool 0.25 Beta 16 pre3. It seems like 20sec/frame slower at the same clock settings, but I haven't played around with beta 16 much so maby you can get even higher clocks to make up for the loss. There's also ATITray Tools, but I haven't tried that at all.
Anyway for ATITool, make sure you click yes to kill ati hotkey poller service. Then you HAVE TO CHANGE VOLTAGE FIRST (I found that out the hard way heh). Make a new profile, then click Settings in lower right. At the top pull down choose vVoltage Control , set VGPU to 1.400 (stock 3D voltage, 1.175 is stock 2D voltage), make sure to click APPLY. Might want to change fan settings too, top pulldown menu choose Fan Control. I really like Dynamic based on GPU temp, I have set 70C and up at 77% 85C at 100% just to be safe, temp never goes above 75C though.
Ok so once you set voltage, then overclock core and run artifact scan until either it glitches or windows crashes. Dont use find max core/mem its REALLY buggy. I can get 675 core at stock volts but it crashes above 80C.. I'm still on stock cooling, so i run 675 core at 1.425 vGPU even though temp never goes above 75C just want to be safe, its stable up to 89C with that voltage. My memory sucks and I cant get over 800 so I'm running 774 on mem clocks.
At 675/774 if i'm not doing anything at all on comp I get 5:57 a frame. So thats like.. almost 800ppd for the graphics card now that points are worth 330 :D
Ok now the bad news. I have to be really really careful. I'm still on 6.5 Catalyst so maby its different with 6.10 and maby beta 16 atitool, but I cant open anything that uses video overlay. I think somehow the driver sets 2D voltage again and then of course a horrible crash of green bars everywhere. I cant even play FEAR with atitool overclock because it somehow uses overlay i think.. I can play splintercell fine though so I know its 3D stable. I can even see right when I open fear it flickers like its detecting a 3D or video app. wich shouldnt happen with ATITool running. Plus I can't use Overdrive in CCC anymore its just 000 for mem and core clocks.. lol. Oh well, at least I can fold at these clocks, and thats all that matters right now ;) .
I might try tray tools, but i have a feeling it has the same problem.
