Am I just behind the times?

[Psykoikonov]

IMO there's something wrong with this new core. My overclock is no where near max, I can run 850/2125/1000, just don't for stability and heat. My card is at 55C max and has never had a bad unit before this core.

I've been checking out the Folding Forum this morning and can't find any info on this new GPU2 core... I would think there would be more reports of problems.

Anyone find any further info?

Have you guys tried the new178.08 CUDA drivers?

I only tried it on one machine in which the GPU keeps quitting from time to time with the new core. So far, having no issues ATM.

Trying it too.. I've been seeing low ppd on my 9800GTX and I'm running out of things to change.

 

[BrandonB]

Two units tried today.. both ended with unstable machine errors. Going back to the old version..

 

[Psykoikonov]

Got another one.

There were reports of problems before it went public. Reducing shader clocks seems to have brought stability to most of my rigs.

yup, same here. I reduced shader clock on 3 of mine which were having CoreStatus=66 error (not unstable nor eue), and they all are folding happily now.

How would you update to the new Core if your using the tray app? Only files associated with the GPU app are [email protected], viewer.exe and licenses.rtf.

Stop your client (Quit), then delete FaHCore_11.exe (search for it) and restart [email protected]. It will download the new client automatically when you restart it. The new client will as well be called FaHCore_11.exe however the log will indicate v1.13 of client instead of v1.09.

backing Shader down to 1950Mhz

edit 2: after dropping the shader and core it immediately errored the next unit :banghead: So now I'm going to try 760/1900/950. If I get one more error then I'm going back to the old core and try like 825/2060/1000.
