If we weren't back on insta-purge it would be easier to see how they are doing...

Hey, you are using the newest test version. How is it working with the lower CPU load?

And I've seen you try do do some green computing with your HD4870 ;)
As the memory uses quite some power but does not contribute significantly to the performance, you simply underclocked the memory to 350MHz to save some energy without loosing much performance.

Nice idea! How efficient is that approach working?

The CPU load average is about 2 - 6% on a dualcore, it's very nice and the application is stable. I don't see any difference of performance with the other versions of 0.19

In fact my GPU is an gainward HD4850 "golden sample" oced to 750mhz and yes my memory is underclocked (1100mhz to 350mhz) to kill some watts :) I won 16w and I didn't see any difference :)

Looks like the outlier detection i put in last night wasn't working quite right... it should be now.

A couple of the GPU apps are just returning rubbish however, I'm not sure if this is because they're working on an unsupported card, or just because of settings or conflicts with other applications. So if it's still happening that might be why.

Things look a lot better now.......I haven't seen an invalid work unit the last couple of times I have checked...........

If it's started on an unsupported card, it should not report any result a all (only a compute error).

Can you relate these wrong results to a certain set of WUs or parameters, or are just some hosts (maybe overclocking their cards too much) reporting strange fitness values? The worst thing would be just random errors.

some hosts are returning really weird values... like positive 8s and 9s from one host, another is returning values in the +130-140 range.

So most likely just some too high clocked cards. I guess they will lower the clocks if they get consistently 0 credits for such results ;)

I've just knocked mine down a notch, just in case ;) Although I suspect my virus checker might have done something since I forgot to exclude it from my Boinc folder.

All your fault. Time to blame Ice! :P

I've taken it back to the defaults. It wasn't me, honest gov.
