1) Message boards : Number crunching : Midgrade GeForce Cards - what temps OK running MW CUDA (Message 33272) Posted 14 Nov 2009 by darkstarz1 Post: Beyond wrote; Just a suggeston: not really answering your question but this is not the greatest project to be running NVidia cards. For not that much more than the cost of your cooling system you can buy an ATI card that does a lot more work. Then use the NVidia card where it crunches efficiently ......sorry to sound kinda dumb but I'm currently running an Nvidia GTX260 (216sp's), on a slight overclock - would an equivalent ATI card be more effective/efficient? Any recommendations? Thanks! Mike, Bristol, UK

7) Message boards : Number crunching : No work (Message 12894) Posted 25 Feb 2009 by darkstarz1 Post: Can't help agreeing, this 12WU/core limit is a pain in the butt - why the limit? S@H allows a 10 day buffer, even given the number of regular SNAFU's they get. Even raising it to just 30/core would be more manageable - until you get the download scheduler problem sorted, we the grunts(the poor sods on the receiving end of Travis' whims), are gonna continue to run out of work, dropping RAC, etc, which is just gonna cause more frustration! How many more crunchers do you want to leave the project in disgust?? Get it sorted, PLEASE!!
