1.25 core/ 1888 pt GPU?

[Vaulter98c]

are these new, Ive never seen one of these before? Does the new core version mean we will see a new GPU client anytime soon?

SHIT, these take forever lol

got 2 of them now, damn

 

[capreppy]

I've got one, Project 5904. All of the 5904's I've seen are 1888, but can't confirm core version as I've never checked.
5904's on my GTX285 get about 8900 PpD vs 9800GX2 which gets about 3800 PpD. I am taking a minor hit on PpD when running these.

 

[Kendrak]

They are new'er

They are good on ppd for the most part. I don't mind 'em.

 

[sduneman3]

Same here, 8800GT's are getting around 4.6k PPD and my 8800GS is getting about 3.8k PPD

 

[Vaulter98c]

wow, I gotta figure out my problem, my 96's are pulling 2k

 

[metallicafan]

My old 8800GTS320 is doing about 3300PPD with these units at stock clocks if that helps for a point of reference. Takes about 14 hours to complete one.

 

[sduneman3]

Yea, my 8800GT's are at 750Mhz core w/ the shaders linked and the 8800GS is at 700Mhz core w/ the shaders linked.

 

[APOLLO]

On a 8800GT they're good for ~4500PPD with a moderate OC. Not bad at all and on par with other P590x WUs. It's the 511s that are extremely poor in PPD. At the other extreme, the 353s are very good.

 

[crazjayz]

wow, I gotta figure out my problem, my 96's are pulling 2k

Yeah man, you need to figure that out. I only have a 9600GT and it does 3200PpD with these WUs

 

[Vaulter98c]

grrr
all my 96's (2 0f 3, cant run 3, my good PSU is still on RMA) are pulling 2k, regardless
my 88GT in my main rig is pulling 3k, regardless
only the 88GTX is putting out normal, 5k

any ideas? this is cutting heavy into my PPD, I can barley push 16k now

 

[metallicafan]

Are these 9600GTs? Or 9600GSOs?

How are the temps? Are they getting enough CPU cycles or is there a SMP client running on the machine as well?

 

[Vaulter98c]

GSO's, all the same RAM and shader count, 3 in their own rig, but I can only run 2 without crashing the rig. They are fine on temps (all below 70) and they are running stable OC's that I had them on before on diferant mobos, with no EUE's. Processor is a P4 (3.0Ghz/2MB/64bit) isnt doing anything right now, again due to power issues (it should be back from RMA today) and I have their priority set to high, affinity on both core (threads actually) under the windows manager

in my sig rig, I know power isnt an issue, and I only have the 2 card, and only the GT is suffering. I'm using AFC to set my 2 SMP's to high and my GPU thing to high, but would I be getting problems due to 2 GPU clients now?

both are running 64 bit win 7, I had the GSO's on my 680i on XP with just 2 GSO's and it was nearly double what I have now with it on the 750i on 7, but that wouldnt matter would it?

If anyone has any iseas, let me know, as Ill have to act quickly, I'm going to Ft. Knox tomorrow, and wont be back unitl tuesday, and I'd like to leave my "mini farm" running while gone, preferably at 23k a day vs 15k a day

might help keep doozer from mowing me too lol

Lower the SMPs to low and keep the GPUs to mid or high.

your GPU are getting starved and need to be able to make use of the CPU.

 

[Vaulter98c]

Should I put them on realtime?

 

[APOLLO]

Should I put them on realtime?

That shouldn't be necessary and I normally advise against realtime for any application. It shouldn't hurt to try, but it is also unnecessary and never seen someone requiring it to get the maximum performance for their clients.

has your PPD been low on these two card since you moved them to this MB or just with the new 1888 point WUs? I would try stopping one of the cards and see if the other cards production goes up or stays consistent.

Again it might be worth stopping one of the SMPs and see what happens to the PPD on the 8800GT. Or as others have suggested just lower the priority on the SMPs.

Which drivers are you using for Windows 7? Nvidia lists Windows 7 drivers on their site but I used the latest Vista 64 drivers and they are working fairly well.

Too late for me! The both of you flew past me before I even recollected myself and realized what was going on. Keep up the good work!

Its been low all around on this mobo, I'll give that a try and post back

as for drivers, I'm using the Vista 64 drivers, the win 7 ones only allow basic OC menu, and no other program (ATItools or whatever its called) will recognize it and let me OC

Too late for me! The both of you flew past me before I even recollected myself and realized what was going on. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I hope to keep it up until I hit top 300 or so on the team, but Its slowing down now that Im out 25% PPD

EDIT
just noticed, I'm getting a huge diff between FAHmon on the 2 computers. on my rig, I read it as 1950 and 2050 PPD for the 2 GSO's, but FAHmon on the other computer reads it as 2 and 2.6 k, any sugestions? both are sync'd to internet time, not sure whats up with this

 

[Vaulter98c]

ok update
I shut off all 3 clients and I'm back to running 2 now (but 2 diff ones) and I had the wrong one off, thats for sure! the one I just turned on is hitting 3500 PPD, so I know its not the board, right? Its gotta be the cards, or what? Im so lost lol

AHH SHIT
WTF? I go back to the second rig and what do you know, they are both pulling over 3k now? 7.1 total for the 2, but FAHmon on my main rig still reads one as only 2k, but the new one I just reactivated is pulling 3.5 still.WHy am I getting a 1500 pt diff between the two monitoring units?

 

[Kendrak]

Run GPUZ and tell us how many shaders you have. I'm wondering If you have one of the 9600GSO cards that has only 48 shaders.

That would be right in line with what ppd your getting.

 

[Vaulter98c]

they are all 96 shadr units, and the 2 I have going now are hitting 7k together, so they are spot on. What I want to know is why did I get a massive jump going from 2 cards (A B) to 2 cards (A C) ?? and why is FAHmon all jacked up on my side? My 8800GT is still loopy too, FWIW, but I hope to get that board on its own in a fileserver and hopefully that will fix that problem

EDIT
ok, something seemed to have fixed now, because they both read 3.5 on my main rig
any ideas on my 88GT? its still at 3k

Thanks for all the help so far!

 

[metallicafan]

Did you turn the priority down on the SMP clients?

 

[Vaulter98c]

yup

 

[metallicafan]

Might want to try pausing one of the SMP clients for a little while. You will want to narrow down if the card is having issues or if its starving for resources. Stop one of the SMPs for 20 minutes and see if the 8800GT picks up.

 

[Jathanis]

Did you turn the priority down on the SMP clients?

Had a similar problem that would knock one of my 96s down to about 1500 ppd from about 3400, and it was due to a priority problem (the setting got changed somehow on the GPU client for that card) that was causing BOINC to starve the GPU client. Sounds like you may have fixed the issue by fixing the priorities...

Take FahMon, and turf it. I use FahSpy and find it more reliable (fahmon used to give me weird errors and inconsistent ppd results).
