Our GPU2 Results! / HOW TO INSTALL

[Gamekiller]

F@H core never uses more then 1-2% of one of my cores. Is my 8600GT too weak to pull more? lol

[kevinbo03]

Dont bother with 177.39, It upped my PPD by 300 ish, But it crashes games. Not very stable.

If you are all getting lower CPU utilization with slower CPUs, then why does the GPU client take 1 core for itself?

same case for me and i am waiting for an explanation

[twiggy]

Same here but on my bro's Vista rig it says it uses under 10% of a CPU core(which I know is bs). Maybe its a Vista thing?

[The[R]eaper]

ok i got mine to work now, but its pretty slow...

E8400 Stock
EVGA 8800 Ultra
Win Vista 32bit
174.55 (only one i could get to work)
fahmon reports 2490.35 ppd

ouch is there any way to boost this up? thanks

Are you Nvidia guys making sure your GPUs switch to 3D clock speeds when you use F@H? If you're folding in 2D mode you will get relatively low PPD.

[xPliziT]

Could someone please post the data from project 500x the nvidia clients get?
Is this possible wanna try something.
Thx

[MikeB12]

they're at the bottom of this page http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html

plus just look at all labeled GROGPU2 for all the gpu2 wu's...


edit: just read the fine print at the bottom
"Projects in beta are not listed on this chart, as requested previously "

G80/G92 don't even have a 2D mode, they only run in 3D (that's why they eat too much power when idle). Only the new GT200 cards have multiple modes, but they should be running a full speed with the FAH client.

Ok, I just tried in vain to install 177.35 on XP x64. Installer runs through very fast (like 3 seconds), that's too fast even for my 15k SAS drive. No screen flickers or similar. It does say install complete, but after a reboot it shows no installed driver. HW acceleration is down etc, what a crap.

Might give 177.39 a try but it sure seems like the 174.55 is the only one working on XP, be it 32 or 64bits.

that work unit musthave not agreed with your card clocks. i guess just turn it down some and try again

[ovard]

E2180@3.3ghz
Leadtek 9600GT
2gig XMS2
winxp32 sp2

920 PPD, doesnt matter what drivers i use :C The modded drivers(177.35) gave me a 200 point increase in 3dmark06 though.

I was back at stock clocks when I copy+pasted that.

Anyways, reinstalled 177.35 driver and gpu client and it's going fine now.

[TheGoat Eater]

new 175.19 work w/ f@h yet?

[The[R]eaper]

hey guys what would be better 8800gt or 9600gt? thinking about picking one up to crunch. and does sli work?

[Star_Hunter]

8800gt would be much better.

[TheGoat Eater]

175.19 work like a charm with no modding! and were just released yesterday

churning through a WUs very fast

[ZOMGVTEK]

Hmmm, my PPD was in the 8K range, now it says 5800ish...

Did something change in the past 3 or 4 days?

they added new projects over the last couple days. maybe those are whats tieing you down?

ps: 8k-ppd is nuts!

[ZOMGVTEK]

How hot are the G92's suposed to run?

About what does a stock 8800GTS run at on the core in 26+º ambients?

Im just chillin at 70º for a few days now... No errors since i downed the clocks a tad.

Ive been doing a whole bunch of these big 479 point WU's. I used to run only the small 90 some ones. Those things took 15 mins, these are taking almost 2 hours!
