When is ATI going to get into F@H?

I think when I last set up my SMP clients they showed a machine ID up to 16, not that anyone would run 16 SMP's on a dual neha...

That cpu usage graph isn't at 100% for any core... no :up: from me ;)

Edit: you know what, I think most would understand this is a joke, but for the one or two who would like to jump in 'ahahah it's 100% just taskman shows diffrent then you kentsfield, learn something new' let me just say it is up front ;)

Is your QX9650 oc'ed ? B'cause I used Gainestown with 4SMP just gained +/-7xxx ppd .... points every SMP are +/-18xx ppd ...
Can I run CPU's 8SMP to gains the exact same ppd per SMP ? Or it'll just reduce the performance ?? I do intend to try it ... Just need some input ... :)

PS : VISTA 64Bit ...

No, this is several different rigs. My QX9650 is overclocked to 4ghz and running an 8800 also. You should be able to run 2 cores per SMP client, I have not had any luck doing in Windows but works rather well in Ubuntu using the taskset to assign cores...

Thanks for your enlightened ...

yeah, with windows,
Affinity changer is what maxes the 8 threads' of fahcore_a1 efficiency http://distributed.org.ua/forum/inde...showtopic=1149
I'm using it to run dual smps in vista64 with one gpu2 client...

last time I tried it in xp, gpu wouldn't play nice with it... because I had to isolate fahcore_a1 to 3 cores, and affnity changer was written to use all 4 cores.

So you're running SMP with 3 rigs, right ? And each rig setup with 2 SMP's set to 2 cores each SMP, right ?

But with Gainestown case, actual can run 8SMP's, but it seems doesn't boost enough performance ... too bad ... :(
My thought is maybe 2*SMT's can't perfectly handle 2*SMP's(8*Fahcore_a1) at the same time compare to physical cores ...

Maybe I'll try like yours on my yorkie ... 2SMP's for each cores ...

This is rough testing ... I doesn't manually set the affinity. But my experience to set affinity or not doesn't boost the performance ...

yeah J, that's 3 separate rigs with 1 Q6600 in each...
