OFFICIAL Holloween Race Roster & Details

Idk what's up with your cards as I been on a steady dieet off 5506's for the past 2 days There is no magic setting I can give you, just no adv methods (which to my knowledge doesn't do anything )

[MikeB12]

I think it has to do with the number of cards being run... I haven't seen 5748's all the time.. but out of 4 cards going 24/7, I usually have 1 or 2 on a 5748.. this morning at this moment, I don't.. but I had 2 on 5748's when I went to bed... and if I look at fahmon, all my cards have seen them.. imo, it probably has to do with the sheer volume of cards some members run. a user running one card will only sample x number of downloads per day, while a user running 8 cards will sample xxxxxxxx number of downloads per day.. the more x's you have, the higher likelyhood of course you'll see a 5748... a user with one card will sample the same number of dl's in a day, that user with a bunch of cards will in 2 hrs.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Yeah I know statistics, doesn't change the fact that per card the number should be the same No 5748's in my log files, none, got some others which where big as well but not since I took the gpu out of the beta team 2 days.

The likeliness of 5748 occuring increases with each card but the chanche of getting it on 'a' card does not change

[MikeB12]

so you've never seen a 5748, WOW! that is strange.... we need to find out what island you're on, so everyone can ship on over.. rofl..

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Idk either

You're welcome to look at my logs/config files but I can't find the 'magic' there to. Maybe the assignment servers just thought I needed a ppd boost

Edit: uploaded logs and clients.cfg ( had to take that flag out of the prev instance. )

[DAK1640]

Out of 12 cards, 3 have 5748's ATM...I have seen this as high as 6 or 50%

someone please answer my kill a watt meter question...

[MikeB12]

I honestly don't think we can do anything to prevent getting 5748's on the client side, especially after I played with it the other day trying to get a 55xx... I must have deleted work folders and queues a dozen times trying to pick up a 55xx. and it kept picking up 5748 no matter what I tried.. but that was in the same hr, so maybe that time frame had something to do with it too. maybe the server was in the middle of 5748 bunch it was passing out... I tried again about an hr later and got a 55xx...

anyway...
I see them off and on.. right now I don't have any... but I don't think any of mine get a steady diet of them.... was just looking at my fahmon ppd and comparing it to my actual ppd, and it looks pretty close... but I have been seeing more 2653's on the smp side, and those kinda help boost ppd too... I got so sick of messing with it the other day, I said screw it, just let them go..

here's the fahmon comparison to actual ppd..

[Marvin_The_Martian]

The more expensive those killawats are the more 'accurate' they seem to be, but I had a 20e one which seemed to be ok. Dak don't think there are more then 1 kind off killawats

Though with all your hw you should be running an ups anyway I feel, and a good one has the power draw measurement built in. Those ups's will also help when you get a lightning strike, I got bricks with fuses but they are nowhere as good as a good ups.

Edit:

*Aarrghh those screenshots... those screenshots are killing me.. where is the mailman, come on mailman make me happy

( side note, my income again was not transferd on time, again I say yes.. they let me hang 3 months without it in the past, and several times a month at a time, my piggy savings are gone, I can't even buy groceries today god damn it.. no I shouldn't quit folding, I got the money to spend on the things I got, but I need for them to pay me on time, those m'fers )

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Hey those 8800's are getting the same ppd on 5748 as my 9600gt is on 5506, I should have paid the extra 10 bucks lmao ( I said this before didn't I )

[MikeB12]

yeah, those 5748's love sp count.. kinda makes wish I had g92 8800gts's (128) or gtx260's (196 or216)... but then again I could do without the extra power consumption.... 9800gx2's really aren't that bad on power considering you get 2 clients with 128sp's each @ around 200w total.... that's about the same as a 105w 8800gt (112sp's) client. except I really dont like all the problem reports we've seen recently on the gx2's..

[MikeB12]

today's scores got buried kind of early this morning a page back..
re posting them here so others coming in wont miss them...

http://www.scootplace.net/fah/XS/halloween/

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Think your suspicion on QC was spot on, same happend with the q6600's in late life, binning got more agressive and the good clockers where just made into q6700 or up Maybe try to get a used one from one off the 3dteam members?

We got some empty spots in there... need to some people

I should be working on the installer/fahwatcher but I g2g in 30 mins anyway, got a photoshoot with the kiddo and missus Will make up for this morning I hope

Maybe when I get back I'll feel better, already gave wfo an intermediate build to pop up on new eue's but haven't finished the rest of the interface and changes so didn't want to put it online. Not to mention I can't log into my serverspace ( l changed the password, but it won't accept the new one trying to log in ). Btw, those who are using it, if you have it running now don't exit the application it won't start up again ( hard coded 11-11-08 expiration date, ow wait that means, it won't boot tomorrow, it should do it today ).


Edit: Yiihhhaaa got an a2 core linux project now Though fahmon isn't giving ppd yet for it I think that should help put that output higher

[MikeB12]

I think I'm gonna retire my 9600gso in a month or 2, move my 9800gt from my main rig to that pc.. and get a gtx260 to replace the 9800gt in my main rig and hopefully help my media center playback issue with the larger atom wu's...
192sp gtx 260 is rated at about 140w, and the 216sp is rated at about 180w.
and right now I could get a 192sp msi gtx260 for $200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127361

hopefully by Jan, maybe that will come down a little for 01Q09 or at least have good rebates like that $40 one the msi linked above..
then I'll have 3 112sp cards folding, and 1 192sp card.. which is not too bad for these bigger wu's..

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Well I hope the supervillan days are indeed over soon enough even if it means I'll be chugging on those large wu's a lil slow myself. Scientificly the large wu's are where the gains are at, I won't complain about my low ppd, as long as you don't either

Btw, still making deadlines with 2 days to spare using dual vm's and notfred's. Still waiting on that answer to our added question Mike though, might drop them if it swings in the way of return times. I just which they would see how important it is to loose being political and start being dead honest.

[Sparky]

I am ready to rip my hair out.

First, I get back over the weekend, find out the PSU in fold6 is leaking caps. Shut it down and it is waiting for a week before I can repair it. Then, I restart my PC after some windows updates and then my ATI GPU2 client goes crazy and won't work anymore, just EUE. Now, I wake up and find fold3 is sitting there doing nothing, find out it uploaded its finished unit last night, downloaded another 5506, and bam, EUE instantly. And it does that with the next several units, instant kaboom and it goes to sleep for 24 hours So the only thing working right now is my SMP client. I went from 15000 PPD Sunday down to 2000 now.

Add on the mess at work yesterday and so far this whole darn week has been a disaster I hope the rest goes better than this

[catawalks]

You can get around that 24hr eue limit by just closing out the client and restarting it. I say for the ATI card reinstall the drivers. Perhaps windows update installed something that screwed it up. Don't give up!

Marvin, how's that a2 coming along? If you get a significant points boost perhaps I'll switch to dual vm's.

Just got home, their stuck both of em. Both got an a2 core work unit and both need more ram. Going to give them 768 each see if that's enough.

[catawalks]

Aww, that stinks. How much ram do you have? Why not just go for the 1gb each?

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Cuz I run MJ12 and gpu folding, ps vs08 ect and most of the time have them all open at the same time?It's folding now btw

Hang occured a 3% on one instance, other didn't even start. When I left it was 2, think it stalled when the other instance also treid to run an a2 idk. Their both still running now but no unitinfo.txt I can find on either and fahlog shows 2% each but fahMON doesn't read it

edit: fahmon picks up the 2% but gives no ppd yet, even with 'only last frame'

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Looks like I needed an a2 to get it steaming I'm doing twice the ppd on this rig now then I did before.

Both smp's are 2669 btw.

[road-runner]

I have not had a 2669 yet, I was going to check my ppd but no 2669s...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I think I might put this on the c2d, have to talk with v0dka though it's running wcg for him as he is supposed to run his ati card for me, but I think I'm getting the vm linux blues..

Will put the free vmplayer on that one though, this trail workstation will get replaced as well when it expires

I'm finding myself a bad person right now, as I told someone darwinian evolution is the most destructive way to 'help' but hell if they don't change the point system to make it clear to EVERYONE science is best served with return times, why shouldn't I try and get the most ppd

Maybe being bad, makes me better

[DeanZ]

hmmm...Linux VM looks like a good option...I might give it a try...thats over 2000ppd more than what I get out of mine

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I wasn't even getting this ppd on a single windows smp using four cores
