Have tried deleting the entire Core_22.fah directory (it redownloaded and started working correctly on the various GTX 1070/1080/1080ti cards in the same systems) - no change.

It would seem this core is NOT COMPATABLE with the GTX 1050 or 1050 ti for some reason.

(Update)
It's may be an issue with project "11733", as I'm also seeing some "bad work unit" errors on 1070/1080/1080ti cards on that project now with core 22.
I went to the extent of deleting ALL core directories AND workunits on one Linux machine with a pair of GTX 1070 and a GTX 1080 - and now the GTX 1080 cards is giving constant "bad work unit" errors and they are ALL project 11733 so far.
The other two cards in that machine are currently crunching 11733 work units though - and they SEEM to be working.

(More Update)
the card that was giving the constant "bad work units" has now gone "failed" - and a search through the log shows all of the bad work units were compaining of "bad state detected" and "Particle coordinate nan" - and I'm STILL getting those messages added to the log on that card even though it's in "failed" mode.

For reference - this machine HAD been working reliably before this core 22 showed up, is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN overclocked, and the cards normally run around 55-60 C when actively working on a WU.
Same for the other machines I'm having issues with - out of all of my machines (which are ALL 3-card setups that have been STABLE for many months) I only have ONE that is still running all 3 cards reliably.

Same problem here with a 2060, No OC, 80% power limit, 50 C max, no errors with 40 MHz OC and 100 % power limit on any other WUs. Three bad state and finished after 28 %

I am seeing similar issues with a GTX 1060 3GB card in my other Ubuntu 18.04 LTS box.

This card is undervolted to 1.000 volts (default 1.150 volts) for reduced power and heat, and it is overclocked to 1344 MHz (default 1244 MHz).
On Core 21, it usually operates at 100% GPU load and 270 to 330 k PPD, and about 95 watts power at 72 to 74 C (as measured by GPU-Z).

But with Core 22 and P11733, it is getting around 200 k PPD, the lowest I have ever seen, with a 67% average GPU load (highly variable), 85 watts power at 70 C.
It needs to work harder.

It finally failed, probably due to the overclock. It never fails on Core 21, but with the load so variable on Core 22, it very likely spiked up to the point of failure.
Everyone needs to be (and soon will be) aware of this.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:27 pm**

I guess it is a little too early for Core 22 or p11733 to be advanced

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:44 pm**

It is a great way to learn what is wrong the fast way. But I will await the next version before doing more.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2019 5:42 pm**

With the explosion of problems between beta and advanced (which is only a 2.5x increase from ~400 --> ~ 1000 GPUs), this unfortunately might be the only way to learn - I worry we might not have a diverse enough representation of systems in beta right now. Anyways, it's off advanced now, thank you all for your sacrifices.

I get nice science logs with system configurations for all the failures now, so we'll go from there, see you with the next version!

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2019 6:13 pm**

That is ok with me I can test under Advanced being we cannot become Beta Testers.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2019 1:18 am**

That's why we set the client-type to advanced… Glad we could help!

If on core 21 I have the 1070 stable 100% at 2088 mhz, running core 22 I have to drop to 1961 with the same voltage, and I'm not sure if it's 100% stable. Also temperature is higher with 7-8C.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2019 1:59 pm**

Maybe this core 22 is not 100% stable, because there are people with no overclocking that have errors. Or, this core it's so heavy gpu intensive that is testing the limit of our cards. The right answer will be revealed soon.

A lot of cards are factory overclocked for the gamers. That is still overclocked insofar as FAH is concerned.

You may need to reduce the clock; check the Nvidia specs to see what the specified clock is.
For the GTX 1070, the base clock is specified at 1506 MHz, but in operation it will be boosted beyond that. Mine typically run from about 1800 to 1936 MHz.

Core_22 beta and project 11733 are not stable yet. They will release an updated version soon. I currently expect when a GPU is Core_21 stable then it can run a fixed Core_22 version stable too. (Except your power supply cannot handle it then your PC freezes or shutdown)

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2019 4:51 pm**

Internal and Beta testing of Core 22 has show it will more fully utilize a GPU compared to Core 21. So a setup that is stable on current Core 21 projects may not be stable with this core. As mentioned there may be additional issues that this brief test on Advanced on a wider range of cards will reveal.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2019 6:25 pm**

So can we now get Core 22 WU?
I would be happy to run on my GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 Ti Cards even if I get a few Bad Work Units to at least see where I need to Set my Graphics Cards for Folding that is to support the new Core 22 Work Units.

"That is still overclocked insofar as FAH is concerned."
This tells me that FAH no longer wants Gamers to Fold and I cannot believe this for on Second.
