GTX295 folding

[great_big_abyss]

Okay, I was having difficulty keeping PPD up with the new 12.11 drivers for AMD. 7950 dropped to 1K ppd, and somehow, core#2 on the GTX295 wasn't folding properly, and was only getting about 2K PPD. My CPU was also only doing about 1K PPD, so a grand total of 10K.

I uninstalled all the drivers (Nvidia and AMD), rolled back to 260.99 and 12.10, removed V7 client, and installed GPU Tracker V2.

So far I've got one SMP instance running at about 9K PPD, and 2 gpu instances running at 7K PPD, for a total of 23K PPD. The 7950 is currently not folding, as it seems to draw too much from the CPU for what it actually spits out.

If I have time I may transfer it to the HTPC for the time being just so I can at least get an extra 6K PPD out of it.

I moved my GTX 295 into my main rig alongside my GTX680. I'm currently running 306.97 drivers (the latest WHQL release), as well as V7.2.9. I have the beta flag attached to all my GPU cores.

The problem is that one of my GTX295 cores is not folding. While V7 says it is 'running', the core does not show any progress, and HWmonitor shows it 19 degrees cooler than the other 295 core.

Any insight as to what is going on?

Do you have evga's precision x? Not sure if it would show up as a 2 core card, but it does show my 2 card setups. It has temps % use and a fan controller. Its a free download off their site, but you may have to register there. My thinking is it will show you both cores.

could be a bad WU? I had one of those lately. had to delete it to get any progress

[great_big_abyss]

Damn it, I should have noted the WU that is was working on. Too bad, I'm at work now. It was a 10xx, whatever it was, anyways. It was actually a different 10xx WU than the other 295 core was crunching. (680 working on 70xx/80xx)

Does anybody have a link to a process for deleting a WU in V7? I have no idea where to go.

When I was folding alone with the 295, it would show up and fold on 2 cores, no problem. Once again, V7 sees two cores, it's just not folding on one of them, as evidenced by the much lower temperature on core #2 (51C vs 69C.

I think you just go to configure/slots/find the gpu and delete it/ then save. Then when units stops and removes itself from client go back to configure and add the gpu back in. Not sure but I assume that would do it.

[great_big_abyss]

Well, if that's what is mean't, then yeah, that's easy. I was thinking somebody mean't actually go into explorer and delete the WU file..

The path will look something like this: C:\Users\Perry\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient

Then you delete the relevant WU and log data

It might be necessary to delete the work unit folder. I've needed to do that for a WU that wasn't processing, once it was deleted the client downloaded a new WU and away it went. as PerryC said, you should be able to find it under C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient\work\X X
The XX will be a number that corresponds to the number you see in FAHControl.
