is this normal? I was expecting output like the other clients but it doesn't seem to give me anything!

Is this running as a service - if so it won't work?
yes it is,


how can I check the temp? what progs let me do that (got omega drivers (6.5 cat based) installed atm)

fahcore_10 is using about 50% (ie 1 core) but the GPU doesn't seem to heat up at all (ATI Tray tools showing 44c stable with and without service running)

ok done, seems to be working now!

lol, PC keeps lagging out! wonder whats causing that!

any way to run this without the dos box open?
 
hmm
issue is, this is mums PC
shes not one for having things running that she doesn't recognise, also this lag that happens every 5-10 seconds or so is going to **** her off.
having spent £1k on a new PC, she wants it FAST!
 
verbal said:
heh, did you rip your mum off by specing her a machine with an X1900?
maybe a bit
but she said she wanted the "best" so I got her the best.
was tempted to spec a E6600 but it didn't stretch that far!
 
MGP said:
I'm afraid lag is part of the happenning with the GPU client, and it's going to run visible.

If you want it to run hidden you have to run a service based client and that is a CPU one, not GPU. Even then, I'm seeing instances of lag when both cores of the CPU E6600 are going flat out. Throttling the second one to 90% seems to have solved that.

NB my PC is only clocked to 2.6GHz at present, so it may be that someat is wrong with the rig?
only 2.6?
my 6300 does 3.15 easily, whats up with yours?
 
anyone know if there could be a way to run the GPU client just between set hours? back in Win98 I'd of used task manager to set up a schedule but I don't know what to do now!
I'd have to be able to turn the 2nd folding client off too (ie close the service)

Mine too :p - at stock volts (bloody RAM is holding it back). When I get faster RAM, I'm hoping for 3.5 or more. C'mon man - push it a bit ;)

Stan :)
I just don't know why it won't do 3.16! 3.15 no issues, stock volts etc all good
3.16 just will not work! windows will not boot, rams fine, more volts doesn't help!
dunno, have to think harder later
 
ok heres last nights results. it look ok? how do I know when its done a WU?

As MGP says, it will reach 100 frames as the CPU client does and will automatically upload the completed WU and download another one.

It's helluva slow though - over 12 mins per frame. My C2Ds are working at about 8 mins per frame :confused:

Stan :)

mines a 1900GT rather than XT, suppose that makes a difference.
