Could be the WU server isn't up yet. What sort of errors?

Bug 3. If you are called Concorde and don't read the instructions you may get stuck until someone called rich tells you to download DX9 with the missing file

Happy testing guys - wish I could be there with you

Is your GPU voltage set to 1.4V?

edit:

Trouble shooting EUE's

1. Some Alpha testers have found an excessive number of Early Unit End's (EUE's) -- we have not reproduced that at Stanford or ATI and we need help from beta testers to help track this down. If you see many EUE's (i.e. more than 20%), please make a post in the GPU section of the forum with your system configuration (ATI driver version, DX version, OS) and hardware (card, CPU, motherboard type). With the help of beta testers, we hope to nail down what's going on.
2. If you are seeing lots of EUE's, please download the ATItool application and check that your core voltage is set to 1.4V. This has been shown to lead to problems.

Whats this about direct x files? Is this a requirement for running it?

Joe42 · 2 Oct 2006 at 21:12

Is yours working now?

What might be good is if a few of you give your gpus their own username so we can compare outputs. I could keep a census of which is which and we can compare different models against each other.

lay-z-boy · 2 Oct 2006 at 21:15

Gonna reinstall 6.10 and latest direct x see if that cures the problem.

Duke · 2 Oct 2006 at 21:17

I think this is okay?

Is it running? They did say it would be lower power usage than gaming.

Duke · 2 Oct 2006 at 21:19

It seems to be using one core on conroe though? (50% load)

found this

Client looks like it is using lots of CPU time: Graphics drivers must poll the GPU to see if it is done. This will look like a lot of CPU time being used, but nothing is really being done, so one can run other relatively CPU heavy code at the same time. However, we do not recommend running multiple FAH clients, as this can significantly slow down the GPU client.

Anyone else finding this?

Still worth running as you get 4x the points.

you only get 4x the points of the benchmark machine though - 440PPD
that's kinda rubbish points compared with these clocked Conroe's with decent work

lay-z-boy · 2 Oct 2006 at 21:28

a cpu is used to poll the gpu here as well.

I think i have got it working.

gpu temps arnt going up, it seems it isnt, the 50% cpu usage worries me, is it just using the cpu?

Its as if its nothing more than a cpu client... :confused:
