ATI video cards and BOINC

[lkiller123]

well after searching around i found a GTX275 on clearance in my local store so im just gonna go that route to get run MW@H

If you got the GTX275, it would be a good idea to run GPUGRID on it.

RV740 is intentionally left out. I was/am unaware that it can crunch MW@h.

or F@H gpu nvidia cards have lots more options compared to ATI cards for DC work.

i found it on clearance for $99 so

first mission is getting it home on my motorcycle then if itll actually fit my box

Okay now give me the link for it

First massive drive failure stopped it from crunching, but it lasted for 374,929 points (running few hours a day...)
A 600w psu should handle 4 of them.. ;D

ya a subforum would be cool beans for sure. considering it takes no CPU power to run (unlike f@h on ATI cards) and it's managed by bionc it made sense for me to turn it on in systems running WCG using ATI cards. might as well make use of them. and I like anything having to do with space so maybe this will help make life more like Mass Effect haha

@slaveondope, Don't mind if I do grab some pie today

Well done

Hope everyone else enjoyed their pie and congrats to the two dozen of us of or so.
We managed to produce what our teams two big projects produced today and a little more.

This really is a great project for ATI's as said they can be used in the BOINC manager reducing hassle, use almost no CPU time, unlike F@H and for ATI's, and produce massive points even if you dont run them all day.

I'd like to remind everyone again that if you have a Nvidia card and want to put it to use it really is best to explore our GPUGRID and F@H teams to best utilize those cards in research for cures for diseases much like WCG projects.

Crunch On

It's very nice to see that the ATi Radeons are being put to crunching. The red guys are pumping out some serious firepower.

i want my pie back >

and why was this moved to da vault? >.>

Would you believe it that there was a sub-form for M@H all along
DC Vault is for all Misc. Projects so we can carry on here without protruding on WCG or GPUGRID's sections.

it says there is no available work

i cant stealz pie if theres no work to be done

Weird.. I haven't run MW in a while, but when I re-enabled it in BOINC manager, it said something about me not having the proper n-body simulation models or something....
Oh well, better for you pie hunters I guess - my Dual 5870's can do some real damage on MW

HD5850 is up on MW@h now. I had some issue prior; I made the switch from 3850 to 5850 on my main and the project spontaneously disconnected. I got the 3850 up in my server. I'll keep an eye on both 3850 & 5850, to make sure that both stay connected to both WCG & MW@H.

[masterg]

maybe ill just return my gtx275 and wait til the 69xx force down the 5830s =\

[jcool]

What the feck... MW has gone crazy
My rig seems to be running 92 MW WUs concurrently on my 2 GPUs?! BOINC is showing 116 active tasks.. minus my 24 CPU Threads that's 92
It's pounding the GPUs pretty good but this is too much, lol. Taskmgr is showing a total of 284 processes running
Must be some kind of record

[slaveondope]

Look back a few pages Jcool you need to go to M@H website and turn off CPU usage for the project

[lkiller123]

Maybe the queue is set too high? :shrugs:

My MW account is old. I've disabled the "use CPU" option right when I signed up.
Just re-checked too... and it's not running on the CPU according to taskmgr... only the GPUs

Maybe some old homework you never turned in
I see your back in time to defend your position

[masterg]

:O Hipno has fallen from favor

[Bobsama]

So it looks like my HD3850 will be a good scorer now that it's 24/7 on MW@H. Prior, it was off when I was using my computer. In the hours since attaching, I've netted like 17k points--which is very good. The HD5850 is just churning out the points as well.

how long does it take a 5830/5850/5870 or whatever card you have to complete 1 WU?

i have a 4850x2 and it takes 4:15 per core. so 2 WU every 4min 15sec

Around 2:30 average?
