[jonspd]

looks ok to me is the percent moving cause @ 3.6 on my pII I get about 15 min a frame on that wu.

[cmichaelt]

it's been about an hour and thirty minutes now since i've started this wu and it still shows the same output as above. I gather the program will do another Timered checkpoint trigger. but technically it still shows 0 percent completed.

[jonspd]

that is way off for some reason

humm what is your os?

in task manager is cpu at 100%

should be 4 FahCore_A1.exe at 25% each.

[cmichaelt]

os: vista ultimate x64

Three of four "FahCore_A1.exe" are at ~25%. one is around 0%

i have a gpu client running as well FahCore_11.exe at ~20%

[Bon3thugz43v3r]

If you set your flush interval correctly and cal_no_flush 1 as well as brook_yield 2 then you should see your FAHCORE_11 drop to 0-10% usage depending on the work unit. This will get you better points on the MPICH smp client. See my thread here (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=602491)

[cmichaelt]

where do i set these items? for the GPU2 i have the systray program.

[jonspd]

Environmental variables

[cmichaelt]

I did the adjustments to the Enviornmental variables and it helped considerably, do you think overclocking my GPU and cpu would help quite a bit? is overclocking my GPU for folding less stressful to the GPU than overclocking it for gaming? (meaning it won't error out as much)

Its the opposite. You may be able to game at a certain overclock, but folding is more sensitive to an unstable machine.

Overclocking my cpu from 3.0 to 3.5 boosted my ppd by about 400 on a dual core e8400.

Overclocking your gpu on the CORE CLOCK will boost your PPD considerably. The memory clock, from what I have read, does not seem to increase PPD much if at all.

1) Shader clock
2) Core clock
3) Memory clock

I have not found signifant PPD loss by lowering the core clock, if you have to lower it to bit to run at a higher shader clock, it's DEFINITELY worth it.

[Bon3thugz43v3r]

Shader clock
Core clock
Memory clock

I have not found significant PPD loss by lowering the core clock, if you have to lower it to bit to run at a higher shader clock, it's DEFINITELY worth it.

ATI cards do not have a separate shader clock. By overclocking the core you are overclocking the shader.

ATI still makes video cards? Interesting! :D
