GPU's again

[WoZZeR]

I have started my first GPU WU this morning:

 Project : 2737
Core	: Gromacs GPU
Frames : 100
Credit : 330
 
 
-- GPU 1 --
 
Min. Time / Frame : 7mn 54s - 601.52 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 7mn 54s - 601.52 ppd

I'll have a bash tomorrow at getting the 2nd GPU up and running, this one is using 50% of CPU power with CPU at 3.4Ghz(E6700) and GFX at 695 (GPU) and 1088 (RAM, DDR4)

I'm not sure if it's using that speed to crunch, in the ATI Overdrive bit it says just for 3D applications ? The temps are definately lower than they are in 3D mark and stuff like that.

The card is a Sapphire 1950XTX Toxic, I've left the Crossfire Dongle in but switched off Crossfire in the ATI menus so it should be off.

As always, all tips gratefully received, and uber tips especially welcome.

I installed The Tray Tools, it looks complex, I will investigate it in more detail shortly. These cards seem like really good clockers, the temps are low and they have always been trouble free, so worth doing.

I didn't do anything to the cards at all just restarted the console leaving the settings as they were, when I restarted the console up it gave me this message:

Is that perhaps the writeback cache on the HD or a bug ?

So that's todays work down the pan, along with yesterdays.....

Ah, brilliant, top chap.

I shall fiddle with Tray Tools tonight and start up again in the morning, I can use -oneunit temporarily to avoid losing half WU's.
