Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

ScOuT · 11-03-2009, 02:43 PM

Check this out...I was reading an old overclock.net forum post from late 2007 about Folding with Nvidia cards. A guy on there said it performs better when you actually downclock the cards. I had to try it.

OMG...I down clocked it and my PPD jumped almost 500 points and temps dropped about 10c!

I will continue testing this to make sure it's real and not some code error. I think it might be real...it only take me about a minute to complete 1% of a 353 point work unit. Before it would take about 1 minute and 20 seconds

I just checked. I had it set to using the lowest core priority. Hopefully that should fix it. Thanks.

EDIT: I am running the normal version. Downloading the SMP client now.

F@H core downloading error (#9)

????

This is becoming more of a hassle than I thought. I am considering just uninstalling them, damn it!

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Have patience, it's for a good cause

First, try closing the program, and and starting it back up. I got the same error and I just restarted the program and it worked after about 10 minutes. Sometimes the F@H servers are busy and what not. If that doesn't work just wait for it.

Which clients exactly are you running?

Did you configure your GPU to a different number than one of your other clients?

They all need a different "Machine" number.

I think after a year break I will get started again, do these clients support multi core processors? (it seems only one core is being utilized)

username is Quentin(ETSA) btw

It seems like it is not working, or doing anything, I d/l the tray icon install package...

Both CPU clients will run on multicore processors. SMP of course runs much more efficient and yeilds far more points. The normal CPU client will use all processing cores but at a much lower level.

link?

Its been awhile a lot of this is now foreign...

What about gpu clients? I am remember there use to be one.
