I'm running the gpu client and I was wondering why the performance keeps jumping from 60 iter/sec down to 1 iter/sec?
 
First off, download and install HFM and use it to monitor the client. It will give you a lot more information about the client.

Post a copy of your log and we'll look at it and see if it's running right. I don't use the systray client and the console client reports frames not iterations/sec, so I really have no idea what "normal" behavior is terms of iterations/sec.

Yes, you have to complete a WU to show up.. You will probably prefer to look at EOC stats. They update every three hours.
 
the iter/sec does fluctuate and if your iter/sec is that low just opening the viewer will probably slow it down considerably!:welcome:to the team though! also to be on that list you have to be in the top 1000 on our team

also, do I have to finish a unit before I'm listed here http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=32 ?

As donvin999 stated, that link will only show up to the top 1000. But have no fear, it doesn't take too long to get there.

However, if you go to , you'll be able to search for your username and see it much sooner. The stats only update every three hours, so it may take a while before you show up there.

okay, I have hfm downloaded but I can't get it to work?
Click to expand...

You have to point HFM to the directory containing the file Fahlog.txt. Use search to find it and enter the path in "Log Folder:"

A bit more detailed:
Click on Clients
Click on add a client
Name the Instance anything you want
Enter the shader speed in MHz
Go to Log Folder: and enter the path to the Fahlog.txt file
click OK

This is what it says in my log file
 
It is a Fermi, so you've downloaded the wrong client. You clipped off the start of the client which would have told a bit more. Also, for long posts, use code tags. Like this:

[code ]
Your text
[/code ]

Take out the space between the e and the ]

You need 6.32 or higher

Also add -verbosity 9 to the extra parameters.
 
I clicked on the 6.32 download?

[21:57:20] + Error starting Folding@Home core.
 
You've got the right client but at some point it downloaded a core 11 WU, which can't fold on a Fermi. Stop the client, delete the work directory and the file queue.dat and restart. Add the -verbosity 9 flag so that the diagnostic information is written to it.
 
you have to uninstall the program and delete all its files.
C:\Documents and Settings\Garrett\Application Data\Folding@home-gpu
go to this file from your log and delete everything then start fresh thats all you need to do. i had a similar problem when i changed gpus. dont give up! :(
 
I ended up getting it to work right after my last post haha.
Thats what I tried first, uninstalling and deleting all the files but it still wasn't working. I just had to delete the files when it was installed but I was having a hard time finding them.
I feel stupid because it ended up being something so simple.
 
I should have mentioned that when you do a search for files, you have to include hidden files to get to the FAH files in a systray install.
 
Yes! Finally! Got everything working now! My total PPD is 11,621! Is that good? bad?
running a gtx 460 at 820/1640/1900 and a pentium e5200 at 3.2ghz.
