I ask as I had an X4 3.5GHz churning out 2000+ BIONC PPD and this X6 is struggling to touch 2000. It did briefly yesterday but today is back down to 1990.09Code:2010/11/02 07:07:49 AM Benchmark results:

TL;DR - Going from a 3.5GHz X4 to a 3.5GHz X6 has lost me 100 BOINC PPD instead of gaining me ~1000 :(
I think you are giving up too soon. It can take awhile for the numbers to show up. I will test mine here in a few and see what the benchamrks are but that looks about right. I have 2 1055t @3.5 and they do 3k ppd boinc.
EDIT: Mine was 2893 and 9709
just for comparison, my 3.7ghz x6 does about 21k PPD (wcg points), so it does seem a tad low, but not much. these thubans just aren't that great of a cruncher in terms of efficiency output
I haven't tried an AMD chip since I retired the venerable 754s but here's an fresh run from my stock-clocked 860 to compare.

One would think that 6 real cores at a higher clock would out-do this... :shrug:
Can't give you much on recent BOINC performance since I just fired it back up yesterday but it was doing low to mid-20s WCG pretty consistently when it was crunching full time.
So my Dhrystone is very low :/
I know they aren't great, but I'd expect a 50% increase from 2000 BOINC PPC :/
How long has it been crunching and is anything else going on on that PC?
My RAC is now 1999 after touching 2030 yesterday :(
It had been going for a year with the X4, and since Friday night with the X6. It also runs GPUGrid without CPU cores assigned (as it has for the past three or so months). It is my daily use PC, but my usage pattern hasn't changed. Constant music and internet (no Flash though) and the occasional movie.
Just ran benchmarks on other 1055 and it got 2897 and 8760. Make whatever ya want of them I think the numbers are basically worthless.
My daily machine is one of the 1055s and it will do 2500-2700 unless I play LOTRO alot then even lower. When I stopped running GPUGrid the points went up on every machine, 3 of them, that it had run on. Not much but I did see it.
Since Friday also tells me you are way too soon to expect to get a real idea. It takes a good week for numbers to really show unless it is all C4CW. The number will rise by weeks end. :up: Maybe not to what you want but they will.
I want and WILL get 3k PPD, even if I have to slap this :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: under LN2 24/7 :rofl:
ouch :shakes:
Then you need to build 1 more machine, 1 for plaing only :)
:shrug:
Can someone with an X6 around 3.5GHz post their Wprime 1.55 scores? I do think there's a problem here. My PPD is at an all time low by around 200 points with a 50% more powerful CPU :(
Double check you're not limiting the machine to 4 cores in your BOINC preferences.
edit: and dump HPF2, it's costing you.
BOINC (should be) is limited to 16 cores, but I'll look again later. Ta :)
EDIT: I know HPF2 is costing me a bit as I run Win7-64, but eleven bad units in seven days is not much more than 100PPD assuming that they finish, and plenty are going through without error. However, they normally error within the first 40 seconds so I'm losing a minute of runtime per day.
Just to be on the safe side, check both locally and on the My Grid pages to make sure it's using more than 6 cores, 100% of cores and 100% of CPU time. Just to be sure.Quote:

I can't check local settings as I'm currently at work, but all profiles are configured like that and my machine is set to run from the default profile.
If all the setting check out we'll need all the creepy details of the OS etc.
I'm tempted to reinstall...
That will just cost you more crunching time than you will likely recover IF it works. Better to disable unnecessary services at this stage and worry about a reinstall after this week.
Oh no trust me, it's not strain on the system. If I pause WCG my usage sits at around 2% tops.
And no software changes have happened since swapping to the newer CPU. I have, however, updated the BIOS as the old one didn't support the CPU.
It's not stopping to page constantly is it? How's your disk activity?
RAM usage is at 70% with WCG running (only 2GB at the moment, I'm waiting for 4GB Hypers to arrive. I definitely saw an increase in RAM by swapping CPUs) but little to no paging.
I would only be worried if your points didn't increase over the next few days. I put a Thuban up Sunday night and and I bet the numbers it does today will be quite a bit higher than Monday's.
The thing that's getting me is is if I go to the graphs in BOINC it's still a pretty straight line, increasing by around 2000PPD :(
taskmanager 6 cores? if not, update acpi or reinstall windows.
my 2 cents
New CPU installed on 29 October 2010 at around 23:00

As you can see, WCG always runs, 100% usage on all cores.
It's not throttling the clockspeed or something silly is it?
Nope, I've disabled C1E/CnQ. Always the first things I do :( I've had a look as well, CPU-Z doesn't show any show any throttling and temperatures are in order :(
Actually, is GPU-Z can log speeds to a file, is there anything that can log core speeds for an hour or two? My monitoring was limited to a few minutes.
All I can think of is that that extra RAM might help. Other than that I'm out of ideas for now. :(
RAM is coming soon, do you agree that my numbers don't make any sense at all though and it's not just the thing slow to update? :( :( :(
I don't know what to think.
How are the completion times? Similar to the quad? Slower? Faster? How about disparity between claimed and awarded points? Has that changed?
I'll check, but I never checked with the quad. Run times are still around six hours per unit.
Granted is almost always four more than claimed, and looking back is consistent with what I was getting around the 22nd of last month (a week before changing chips).
:(
Looking at my sig, performance has dropped from 20.x Gflops to a current 18.6 :mad:
Post CPU-Z... maybe we'll see something you missed :)
Also look over Windows power settings to make sure something stupid isn't being done by the OS.
How's your pending?

What's the difference between Sent Time and Time Due / Return Time?
Sent is when the unit was sent, Due/returned is when the unit is either due, if it hasn't been returned yet or when it was returned as complete.
Hahaha it gets really close sometimes, I'm dropping to a nine day queue! Does my pending queue look as if PPD might shoot up soon? :shrug:
Not enormously, but with a nine day queue you're running close to having work declared "too late". I never run over five and mostly run at three.
I've always used ten days on my machines and honestly have never missed a deadline. I see I've come close though :D
To my way of thinking, the queue length is a balancing act between making sure I have enough work to cover any small outages while not running anything over-time or holding up other people's validations excessively. Having a shorter queue also makes it more likely I will get beta units and make-up units as they have shorter deadlines than regular units.
Unfortunately, SA internet is not reliable at all and can go down for a week at a time :(
Did you do a fresh install of boinc/os OJ?
I had a similiar problem when I first started using a 1090t.
Had a 4 core in the board prior and tried running without any new installs and experienced a cap similar to yours until I did a fresh boinc install.
I think it has to do with the system id and boinc still expecting only 4 cores of run time.
As we haven't had a major outage for six months I've changed my queue to one day :yepp:
If that works I will (figuratively) kiss you. Reinstalling...Quote:

I'm going to hold back on my reinstall until someone can answer :yepp:
I recall having to drop all prior boinc info so finish what you can.
All I can say for certain is that the problem didnt resolve itself until on wcg it identified it as a new device.
If you're going to do a full reinstall, either finish your whole queue first OR abort everything and get it done as fast as possible. Aborting the units will get them resent to other people and as it will be a new device after the reinstall it won't count against your quota.

Running HCMD with Boinc 6.10.58 x64 on XP x64....
I have not worked out the average of this lot but it is not too far behind a i7 920 clocked at 3.8...:up:
Edit: 21 day average = 581301 / 21 = 27681 WCG PPD /7 = 3954 Boinc PPD
Switches x6 over to HCMD:wasntme:
I think something else that might be hindering things: the high HTT bus speed.
I get much better results at 14 x 250 than 280 x 12.5...
Also my ram is clocked way lower than yours I think it is at around 1400....
Edit:
Setting are:
CPU 250 x 14
HT link 2000
RAM is at 500mhz only (1:2 ratio) 7-8-7-24 2T
Thanks guys, I reinstalled this morning about an hour ago and changed my machine name during the reinstall :up:
I have my X6 @ 3.8/2736 ram is slightly above 1600
i run all projects, and get about 23-24k per day for a full day sometimes up to 28k
PPD is slowly but surely on the rise, I've just passed 2200 (a new high for this machine). Many thanks to everyone who helped :toast:
