Our GPU2 Results! / HOW TO INSTALL

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Anyone having problems with Vista 32bit? I for the life can't get any drivers to install and work besides 174.55 which still bogs at 30 sec/frames on a 88gts 512mb! My other 8800gts does 15-16 sec/frames, same drivers, same clocks just on XP64. When I try the 177.35 with the modded inf it does nothing at all. It says it installs but it defin doesn't work right and everything says no drivers installed.

Sounds like you have the wrong .inf file? I have vista x64, so I don't know about vista 32. After it installs (177.35) does it say no changes were made? If that's thats what happens, you have the wrong .inf file.

Could be. I tried a couple diff links but to no avail. I'll get it going right at some point.

will it work on vista 64 with the 175.16 driver? Im to lazy to try new drivers..i like the 175.16's for my games.

it seems to be working, but entering team number for XS does not show up in the Viewer..says Team:running now

donor: core is not

what gives here?

it is going through the WU though, fairly quickly on my 8800GTS

I believe that means it isn't running. Open up the log file and see if the % is going up or if it is just ending right away.

[kevinbo03]

It's telling you it's not running, Does the WU happen to be Test protien A?

still cant get this damn thing to work. here is my log file.

it seems it gets the WU attempts to start it, says my machine is unstable, sends results and starts over again.

im back on stock clocks by the way. maybe i should reformat?

[strange|ife]

nope isnt working

will need to get the modded drivers..will do it this weekend

[coo-coo-clocker]

Yesterday, I installed GPU2 on my folding rig. Had some problems getting it to play nice with my dual SMP clients. I think I have that resolved - but the performance is pretty bad running alongside the dual SMPs (about 434 ppd), so it looks like I need to do some tweaking.

This morning, I got it up and running on my main rig.
I will leave the SMP client offline for today and see how it goes, but for now I'm getting 4,233 PPD with no O/C on my GPU. Pretty good!

Might overclock some even more since this seems to not be as sensitive as atitool

Is the servers down again? Bastages.

YEP! I have Vista 32-bit

With GPU2 I can push my GPU much higher then in games and stuff without artifacts showing up 2016PPD it's good for a 8600GT right?

That's about what I'm getting. I'm getting 2116.80 ppd atm. Crunching for WCG at the same time.
GPU is running at 66*c. I could probably go higher on the clocks. Maybe a volt mod is in order. I need some potentiometers.

Until I get a new card that is. I'm wanting a gtx 280, but I'm going to wait for the price to go down and bugs to be worked out a bit if any.

EDIT: BTW, what are your clocks?

Hit 2116.8ppd (40sec.) myself... took me 823Mhz though. Are you using the 177.35 drivers?

Now I'm getting 2065,17 PPD, the card clocks are 715.5/1678/864(core/shader/mem),the card is at 50ºC,what are your clocks?
I'd also would like to go to a GTX280 but it's too expensive,maybe an GTX260 or a HD4870 with it's 1.2(I don't know if it's GigaFlop or Petaflop) and if it works with GPU2

Hit 2116.8ppd (40sec.) myself... took me 823Mhz though. Are you using the 177.35 drivers?

You needed that much core?I'm doing that with only 666Mhz but with my shaders at 1782Mhz,you we're able to push 823Mhz from your 8600GT or you are using a 8600GTS?

Yeah, the card is a GTS. Maybe its because I'm not using the 177.35 drivers??

Also got to 39sec / frame but that took 850Mhz.

I'm in 40sec/frame with 715.5/1728/864 but I'm using a GT only so those core clocks are unreachable to me
If I knew somebody who could voltmod the card since at these speed the card is at 50ºC with an VF-900

[Gamekiller]

I'm running 177.35 drivers.

Speeds: 690/1700/850 (core/shad/mem)

[twiggy]

Shaders are the only thing that needs to be OC'ed.

[DMH]

Shaders are the only thing that needs to be OC'ed.

Really I can decrease my core speed so that my shaders go up alot?
Perhaps 650/1800?

[Gamekiller]

Shaders are the only thing that needs to be OC'ed.

I found that core played a good roll in mine.

Memory, not so much.

[DMH]

Forget about got an error at 666/1782,maybe another day I'll try at 650/1782

Intel Q9450 @3.4

177.39 with physics support
-Vista 32 Bit Premium
GPU Client @ 6550PPD
SMP Client @ 2400PPD
Total Near 9000PPD

I have affinity set so that SMP runs on 3 cores and GPU runs on the other core.

I should be getting +10000 PPD by tomorrow because of the PS3 and a few other computers.

I could not get any other NVIDIA driver to install properly with this card. I was very happy to see 177.39 install and FOlding start to work properly.
