Running 2 GTX 460 cards at once

Sure, if you want. Tell me what CPUs you're running, what speed they're running at, and how your clients are configured. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

Hi Zach,

Asus PQ5 Pro Turbo mobo,
Intel Xeon X3370 3.0 Ghz quad
8 gigs of OCX XTC Platinum 1066 memory

SMP Config:
FAH6.29beta-win32-SMP-mpich.exe
Flags on shortcuts are -smp -advmethods

Take care.......

Is the CPU overclocked?

None of the CPUs are overclocked.

Is fahcore_a3.exe using close to 100% of your available CPU power? Is your CPU PPD affected if you stop folding on the GPUs? 3000-3500 PPD is low for those CPUs even at stock speed.

Hi Zach,

When I am running SMP on my lappy, wife's system, or mine, all CPUs are running at 100%.
This has happened as long as I have been running SMP.
When I stop running SMP, the CPU usage drops to almost nothing.

Hope that helps a little.

Take care.......

And what if you close your GPU clients? Does your SMP PPD go up?

Will let you know shortly.
Just shut them down, so will take a little bit to change, if it does.

Take care...........

Hi Zach,

OK, just a short time, but there is change.
My system was running SMP at 3312.58. I shut down both GPU clients and in 2 minutes it went up to 3357.10. After 5 minutes, it started to drop back down, 3353.15 after 5 minutes, and 3352 after 7 minutes.
So, it is slowly dropping back down.
Also, the CPU usage is still at 100%

Take care.........

So no significant difference. Can you tell me what unit your CPU is working on?
