Somebody did something that managed to slow my 7770 to a crawl again. It seems sometimes, that you are actually trying to deploy work units that don't work. I have a 4850 that used to process these work units faster than the 7770 is now! What are you gaining by this approach? How is taking a card that used to process work units in 4 minutes, and slowing it down to 52 minutes beneficial to you? Just curious, Mark W. Patton ID: 57169 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Patton I looked at one of your units and saw this: Estimated AMD GPU GFLOP/s: 100 SP GFLOP/s, 20 DP FLOP/s Warning: Bizarrely low flops (20). Defaulting to 100 If you restart your pc does it change? I saw it in one of your units that had completed and was Valid when I checked under Task Details. ID: 57186 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I bounced my machine and the work unit that was going to take 32 minutes looks like it is going to take about 8. I thought this 7770 was going to do a better job. I'll just have to save up and get a better card when I can. Regards, Mark W. Patton ID: 57190 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

BUT I just saw where a guy has a 79?? series card at DistRTgen and is doing units in about 8 minutes and getting almost 13k credits for it!! The guy has 10 pc's active and has a rac of OVER 28 million PER DAY!! Now 6 of those pc's have multiple gpu's in them and one even has 4 of the 79?? gpu's in it! Here is a link to the guys pc's at DistRTgen: http://boinc.freerainbowtables.com/distrrtgen/hosts_user.php?userid=15715 ID: 57192 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
