Re: Newbie with some questions

If you're not using one of the third-party stats sites, it might be helpful for you. There are some that require you, in Team 0, to have a fairly substantial number of points before they start tracking you. But, Kakao Stats (start with this to find your account http://kakaostats.com/ad.php ) or Fre...

Re: Newbie with some questions

Ok thanks, that's what I thought because I noticed I was getting more points than usual, at least I think so. I still can't find anything in the logs that suggests I'm in the bonus, not even a "Final credit estimate" for SMTP's like the GPU WU's display after completion :? There's nothing...

Re: Newbie with some questions

Any SMP WUs completed on time and with the User/Passkey. Of course unless you've dumped a lot of WUs - you need an 80% success rate or better, I seem to remember. Ok thanks, that's what I thought because I noticed I was getting more points than usual, at least I think so. I still can't find anythin...

Re: Newbie with some questions

That's exactly what I wanted to do, change the core priority of the GPU slot to "low". Nice, thanks GW! With the GPU running, the bigadv WU runs at 30min TPF vs 26min on it's own, so I thought I would try offloading some CPU usage from the GPU slot I have started a bigadv already. Not sure...

Re: Newbie with some questions

Question please :D
Can I make changes to the slot's config on the fly in v7 or do I need to restart the client?

Thanks

Re: new to folding

oh, that's a nice board. That B55 is a Phenom II x2 right? if it is you could try unlocking 2 cores and get a quad for free :D your mobo should support it
Or you can always break the bank (well, sort of, it goes for some 170$) and get a 1055T and overclock it to 4GHz

Re: new to folding

Well, prices can vary wildly depending on location and store. Best bang for the buck is probably the GTX560, but there's no way I can factor in prices not knowing where you live, and I don't really need to, it shouldn't take you too long to set a spreadsheet with your local prices, then google PPD f...

Re: new to folding

I did some research yesterday and this is what I found. Someone correct me if there's something wrong. Add 1K with O.C.

GTX460 ~ 10K PPD
GTX560 ~ 13K PPD
GTX480 ~ 14K PPD
GTX570 ~ 15K PPD
GTX580 ~ 17K PPD

Re: Newbie with some questions

Again, re: the -bigadv and "paying your dues". Until you complete TEN good SMP WUs after your passkey is in , you don't want to set -bigadv, unless you want to spend 2+ days on each WU getting only 8955 points with no bonus. If you do set the flag, and if the Stanford Server thinks your s...

Re: Newbie with some questions

dazz. , do you have a passkey? SMP bonus points requires one. Yes I do, thanks for the HU :D the first two or three WU I run completed without a passkey, then I came across that FAQ and got me one. I still need to do a lot of reading here in the forums and in the FAQ sections of the web obviously h...

Re: Newbie with some questions

Oh, true. It is indeed detected: 7.98GiB, 6.41GiB free... removing argument now :D The working set of the current WU is just 100MB, I guess it's because the project Kfactor is only 2.10? Nope, the Kfactor only affects the points received for the WU, or at least AFAIK. The Ram Usage is just determin...

Please post the ****System*** section at the top of your log. Your RAM should be detected automatically. Oh, true.

Re: Newbie with some questions

Thanks a lot GW, that was extremely helpful. Ok, the banner thing is not that important, of course, so that's no problem I love the Client Control app, I can see it can pause units now, and has a very nice GUI. I will finish those pending WU with the -oneunit argument and will then uninstall the old...

Newbie with some questions

Hi everyone. Just joined F@H a couple of days ago. Been using both SMP & GPU clients succesfully on my I7 2600K + GTX480. 1.- I Just installed the new beta Client Control to consolidate both clients in there, but the old clients are halfway through. Is there a way to set the Client Control to fi...
