Folding Forum

I also did a crossfire setup with 2x HD7950 now and configured with 2 gpu slots. I use the 14.12 driver but did the 14.9 OpenCL workaround mentioned in my other thread to prevent performance problem. viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27115#p272345 I had to disable video HW acceleration to prevent freeze and...

Okay! I have resolved the issue! I downgraded back to AMD Catalyst drivers 14.9, and I now achieve ~128K PPD WITH crossfire enabled! So it seems these "OMEGA" drivers are a bit buggy still. I hope they will fix this though. So for those who find this thread with this issue, uninstall the A...

Perhaps enabling XF causes the CPU service that supplies data to the GPUs are synchronized. The time to service a single wavefront varies both with the number of atoms and the speed of the GPU. [Identical GPUs running identical projects can be synchronized without loss.] Running in non XF mode woul...

It hasn't changed. If I fold on my CPU and 270x, the GPU usage on the 270x is 99% and the 78560 is at idle. However folding on CPU + 270x +7850 I get ~70-80% usage on both GPU's if crossfire is enabled. That's why I'm confused, why would the GPU usage drop like this? It doesn't matter if I fold on ...

It was my understanding that whether XF is enabled or disabled made no difference to FAH unless there's active processing of Video. FAH uses a single GPU whether or not XF is in use, so it takes two clients. If this has changed, you're the first to report it. It hasn't changed. If I fold on my CPU ...

Hello again guys! So after much fussing and messing with settings I got crossfire working perfectly. Great FPS in games now, BUT I have lost 60K+ PPD! :( Disabling crossfire fixes this, and I am up to ~130K PPD. I have noticed when I have Crossfire enabled, my GPU usage hovers around the low 70s to ...

Well, I had what I thought was an issue with my fastest system; but it resolved itself within a few minutes: failure to upload from CPU completed WU. I still wonder if this is restricted to ONLY GPU completed units; since the three units I have backlogged are all from my GPUs and none from my CPUs....

If you look at what I said, in it's entirety, you'll see I wasn't saying I'd quit the whole FAH project; but I would be watching for anything assigned to .143 as the work server, since its collection server seems to be 0.0.0.0 in both cases where the upload is stalled. I didn't notice how long how ...

Same problem here. Been trying to upload a completed work unit for a couple of days. Collection server is listed as 0.0.0.0. This is unfair as my machine worked hard on this WU and completed it in good time but I expect I will have lost all the bonus credit for it. Getting the Donor machines to wor...

I'm closing this topic, deeming it as, in fact, off-topic. We have no intention of allowing all varieties of coin mining to use our FAH help forum free advertising, nor will we allow any specific team to recruit members on our help forum. Not sure what you mean. It's not like miners mining other co...

The algorithm already exists. If the deadline on a workunit expires the server hands out the workunit again. There's no phone home check in the regular cores. Indeed, but I meant on say a regular basis. like if a WU hasn't had any progress in say 6 hours, the client discards it and the server hands...

I suppose one way around this is if a server doesn't see any folding being done a WU, it could cancel it and hand that WU out again. Of course, F@H would have to implement some phone home or check up routine in the client. The algorithm already exists. If the deadline on a workunit expires the serv...

There might be more people deleting WU's because it takes a long time to complete the WU's and get paid .......

Whether you configure multiple slots in V7 to credit different accounts or you use multiple clients to accomplish the same thing, you run into the same resource limitations and you need to manage them yourself. If you have N CPUs (or multiple GPUs) and you allocate some to one account an the rest t...

Glad to hear that V7.4.4 is functioning correctly on your system now. Last I checked (several versions ago), there was the ability to configure each Slot with different username, passkey and team number. I am pretty sure that the feature still exists so maybe you can now test it out. Do note that I...
