New client tweaking !?

I sure like the 78xx's, they are smaller credits but sure blow through fast.

So do I. If I am gaming I can pause the client with a much smaller penalty to my ppd.

So I have a GTX 770 that I just started up. So far I'm getting mostlu 8900 WU's but I'm only seeing about 33k ppd. I have a sneaking suspicion that it has to do with my CPU not being able to keep up. Currently no SMP folding, it's a Xeon X3330 clocked to 3.4 GHz 8GB gskill ram, sitting idle other than the GPU folding.

Thoughts?

That does seem low. When I was putting 8900's thru on a 770 I was getting about 80K PPD or more depending on work units. Don't recall any that low. I assume you have one core for each GPU set aside on your xeon. Also sometimes when a unit starts up the PPD and credit are not what you will finally receive. If you watch a unit, it will fluctuate PPD and credit as it progresses. Maybe just monitor it and see if another unit does the same. 30K on a 770 seems really low to me.

EDIT: oops no cpu running my bad.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the single thread performance of the X3330 not feeding the gpu enough.

What is GPU usage like?

I'll check tonight to be sure, but I think it was at 99%.

Frame times for Project 8900 are 8:37.

TPF's can be long, but I wonder if you can try it in another PC, with a different cpu. That would answer the cpu question for you. I run a a 660 ti in an old wreck of a PC with one PCI e slot and it can get 40-60K PPD depending on wu.

I have the same issue with my 2 GTX 770 on 8900 WU's. They are only giving me 39K ppd

And on another rig I have 2 GTX 670 FTW (so basically 680) on 8900 WU's and they are giving me 79K ppd!

Both rigs have one CPU thread free for each GPU.

Wow that's not good. I have a 7811 on a 770 now and says 137943 PPD. No 8900's running at the moment. I will watch for them tonite now that I am home. I am sure I was getting 65-85K on a 680 with the 8900's before. I have all sytems set to 1 thread/GPU, beta flag, mild OC's on cpu and gpu's. Other than deleting a 8900 slot as a test and then reassign, I can't think of anything else at this moment. Just looked and I have a 7810 running on a stock 660 and claims about 50K PPD!! ouch

Well, I removed the overclock from the system. No change. I'll try it in another system hopefully by the weekend to see what happens.

Have the 770's been neutered somehow?
