just started crunching and joined XS

[Santas]

been lurking these forums for years and just got into crunching so i figured id crunch for XS. only have a single GTX 660 ti 3gb running atm because my PSU the bed. soon as the new one gets here ill have 2 660 ti's and a 460 crunching away!

im SNS on the team roster.

also i read a post about delaying boinc startup so it wouldnt beat precisionX and i cant for the life of me find that thread again!

[werdwerdus]

--start_delay N
Specify N number of seconds to delay running apps after client startup

or in cc_config.xml add <start_delay>nseconds</start_delay> in the options

welcome to the best GPUGrid team

Thanks!

i see you are also running 660s have you done any testing with them? clearly ocing the core helps alot but does ocing memory do anything? ive got my running 1267/7000 for crunching but if the memory doesnt help id back it off and get a bit more out of the core.

reports in event viewer as 474 Gflops but i cant find anything to compare this to

also is there a good way to figure out points/hour or per day so i can calculate the difference if i do change my OC.

[werdwerdus]

at gpugrid webpage you can view the work units that you crunched and it will report the number of seconds of run time, use that to calculate points per day. AFAIK memory speed has little effect on completion times and you can downclock it without much difference. I am running mine at "stock" which is about 1153 core (boost speed) on most of them.

You should consider upgrading BOINC to a version 7 client, there are quite a lot of GPU changes since version 6!

[Santas]

easy enough ill get 7 right away not sure why i would have downloaded an older version lol... thanks.

everything i have is on water so to justify having watercooling to myself i have to overclock everything to the absolute max. already have modded bios to get 1.212 volts for overclocking but i seem to have gotten a bum card anything past 1267 and it crashes once in a while. anyway... thanks for the info ill report back after it crunches for a few days with the points its getting and we can compare to see if how much if any it matters

[werdwerdus]

you will see a gain but only a couple percent at most IIRC. there was a very recent post on the GPUGrid forum about memory clocking.

[Santas]

couple % is what i do . looking at your sig im already planning in my head how i would test and match all those cards for max OC / crunching lol.. i cant help it!!

[Santas]

MMMM my corsair hx850 just showed up hopefully ill get it installed tonight and get crunching on all 3 gpus!

[Santas]

and the last slot on my mobo is blocked by the case lol.. oh well got both 660 tis rolling anyway.
