This has been on my car for a few years now, ever since I started BOINCing with Climate;

Earth first - we'll screw up the other planets later




The Phelps-Dodge Mining company in Arizona has a variation on that one:

Earth First - We'll Mine The Other Planets Later

p.s. i dont claim to be a pc god....just an advanced nOOb

You don't have to be a god to give out some useful advice. I'm trying out your tweeks, and so far they look pretty useful. Thanks for that Mark.


Add turning off "show thumbnails instead of icons" to the list.

Not quite sure what happened but I just restarted things not too long ago. Gonna have to watch it and see what's going on.


Travis, it's because you are trying to have a real life.

Computers are vindictive and mean. ;)

All green on the server status, got a full load on my i7 a few minutes ago, but not on the other machines.

All my pendings are gone too!!! ;)

Yeah, I think they were resends. Got a couple more not too long ago that were aborted by someone.

And the funny thing is, I've had three on one machine go thru and validate. Looks strange (for MW) to have a few completed WUs in the middle of a bunch of pendings.

Something is happening, I just got 6 WUs on one of my boxes.

Still have a bunch of pending tho'.

52) Message boards : Number crunching : 2+ 4890s on ame system? (Message 29634)

Post:
I have two Visiontek 4850s in my i7 using WinXP Pro (32 bit) & the 8.12 drivers, no problems with the setup.

As someone said earlier, the 4890s can be problematic. The first thing is to get just one card working in the machine. Once you've done that, just drop in the second card and it should get recognized.

Oh, and make sure that they are not CrossfireX'd.

I think I've fixed the problems with the assimilator and workunit generation. Work should start flowing smoothly now.


They're flowing here -- Thanks!!!

looks good to me it finds both my XFX 4850 cards immediate
I cant run any other project on my cpu's since i have a really hard time getting my ati's enough units to run all the time.
Basically i get only 1 unit every minute while i should get at least 2 or 4 so i guess its time for MW admins to set the cpu limit to 9 or so
Instead of the really low 6


Whst is your cache set at? Having a cache set higher thsn the MW 3 day deadline can result in that behavior.

No, I'm not a car...I'm a dumpster!!!

Returned it and ordered a 4850 (hmmm better check front porch, s/b here today). Really too bad because this card is arguably the price/power/output combo winner. Sure would like to hear from someone who actually has THIS card working.


I run a 4850 on this rig, together with FreeHAL and Einstein. Only 3 cores are allowed to crunch Einstein to give FreeHAl and MW some core support.

I do think the 4850 should give more than the 61K to 66K RAC I have seen, but this may be due to the BOINC version (6.4.7), OS (32 bit XP Pro), etc, that I run it on/with. I think my 4850 should give me more RAC (70K to 75|K).


My 512MB 4850 at stock get about the same as what you are on XP32, but my 1GB 4850 (overclocked) gets about 75K and my 4870 (also overclocked) gets about 80K.

You might want to check the GPU Activity load in the CCC, and if it is low, change the Wait State parameter in the cmdline to 0.8 or 0.9. My load is almost always above 85%, usually above 90%.
