GPU Client, Sapphire Radeon 6670
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:10 pm
I'd like my CPU AND my GPU to be used for Folding@Home, but I'm having problems.
My system:
Gigabyte 970A-UD3
AMD FX-8150 CPU (4 cores, 4 pseudo-cores) (aftermarket HS/Fan)
16 GB RAM
Sapphire ATI 6670 1 GB PCI-E video (passive cooling)
DVD-R/W (Lightscribe)
1.5 TB SATA drive (Win 7 64-bit, Mageia 1 64-bit, dual-boot)
OCZ Fatality 550W PSU (can substitute PC P&C 750W if needed)
I'm running the 7.1.52 client under 64-bit Win 7 Pro. I copied the GPUs.txt file to the right directory (progra~86\FAHClient). I also downloaded a copy of OpenCL.dll to that directory. My GPU is whitelisted.
My CPU is running at 100% (monitoring widget that came with the OS). When I look at the "status" tab, slot 00 (CPU client) runs, but fails a moment or two after starting (GPU-z still shows zero percent use). But the "Work Queue" says slot 00 is still running. The Kill-A-Watt shows only a 4 watt decrease when FAH says the GPU client stops. (Even an air-cooled card should take more than 4 watts when ramping up/down, right?)
Is the GPU client working? Can you help me get it working? Here is the "system" part of the log:
When the GPU part fails, there is something in the log about "edrfile file hash check failed" and "Fatal error, dumping".
Will this GPU work? Will it work on the next project? Right now, I hit "finish" (PRCG 7023 -- 2, 39, 82) so it will stop until I can get your help.
Is there something else I should try? I want the Windows client to use both CPU and GPU, but I don't have a lot of time. Any help is appreciated.
(I have re-installed my OS two dozen times in the last 6 months because of problems. My patience is short.)
Thanks!
