weird problem with the beta nvidia gpu client

[leSLIe]

so i restarted my pc, and FAH GPU client starts, using 25% of my quad cpu, no problem there. then i started one SMP client and it starts folding, but when i see in the task manager the SMP is using all the cpu cycles, with none left for the GPU client to work with. So the GPU client is left at an idle state while the SMP client is working.

I have SMPAffinityChanger btw, both clients are running at low priority, i've tried changing the priority myself with no luck, so i finally changed the affinity in the SMP client, leaving CPU 0 unchecked for the GPU client to use, now both clients are folding properly. Still i want to start the second SMP client, but i dunno... must be because it's a beta i guess

Set SMP to use idle priority and set GPU2 to use "Slighty higher" priority and things should sort themselves correctly.

Set SMP to use idle priority...

i'm running XP, how do i set Idle priority, there isn't any below low priority

 

[Xilikon]

Just configure the smp client with fah -configonly and select idle when it ask between idle and low. This is what I'm talking about. Same thing with the GPU2 with the config panel.

Yep Xil is right that is what I did and they play nicely now.. even with 2x SMP and 1xGPU on my Q6600 I'm pulling over 6400 PPD...

I'm pulling over 6400 PPD...

That's double the production of my entire borg/farm combined on a good day

And out of ONE boxen.....holy shit..... seriously....

No kidding....I'm doing 1x VM SMP, 1x standard client, 1x GPU2 and pulling about 7500 PPD right now out of that one box
