ready for some Fermi numbers? GTX 480

Did you make sure to select yes to the option "Run test applications?" in the GPUGrid preferences? I made this mistake for about a day of being told there were no ACEMD beta work units to download.

Sorry for the confusion I caused on the environmental var ... you are all correct ... it is SWAN_SYNC.
The only time I see WU that slow is after a driver crash and the GPU goes into a low power mode ... I have precision 1.9.2 and it will show what speed it is actually running, not just what it is set to. Once the driver resets itself the only way to back up to full speed is to reboot :-(

I came home today to find that there were no more beta work units available. Hopefully they refill the beta work unit pool asap.

I'll be trying out Precision tonight instead of Afterburner and hopefully that improves the speed of completion.

just for clarification, when setting the SWAN_SYNC, is the vairable name "SWAN_SYNC=0" and the variable value is "1", or is the variable name "SWAN_SYNC" with the value "0"? win7 forces me to enter a value and i don't know what number to put. so left pic or right pic?



btw, how did you guys figure out this trick about SWAN_SYNC? i tried to google it, and nothing came up. what does swan_sync mean and how does it work?

yeah sometimes it doesn't give beta WU, but that only happened once to me. during this time that you didn't get them, i still received them fine.

did you ever figure out has to why your WU's take over 1000+ sec? your GPU at 40% is a little low, unless you had an extremely high overclock. it should be around 50%.

SWAN_SYNC is the variable and the value is 0.

There was so much clamor about using a whole CPU thread to process a GPU WU in the past that they gave this to us as an option rather than force it on us.

(For those that do not know, GDF is the head honcho over at GPUGrid)


My betas have dried up for now also but I have Collatz set up with a resource percent of 1 so it doesn't interfer with GPUGrid but will pull a WU when GPUGrid runs dry. I hate being idle
