1) Message boards : Number crunching : 3rd.in - optimized apps (Message 30819) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by MJD1964 Post: It is working and fast but everything is working up to par. Boinc downloads 48 task but only does the bottom 2 then get new ones so it stays at 48. The 3rd from the bottom start when the other 2 are reporting but never completes because when the new task are downloaded the bottom one start and the 3rd from the bottom restarts each time. I have set Milkway to no new task and it worked from the bottom up and every 4th task ran 1 second and got a error. I let them all complete then change it back to allow new task then it reported all the task and downloaded 48 more repeating what it did before. Also the status of the downloaded the 1st is ready to start and the 2nd is waiting to run(0.05CPUs + 1.00 ATI GPUs) and this repeats for all 48. I will force the task to complete before the expire. I was having the same problem. As soon as a new Wu was downloaded it would start crunching it and leave the unfinished one sitting there. When it restarts the unfinished Wu it restarts at 0%, wasting time... Installed 6.6.36 over 6.10.4 and removed the <coproc> <type>ATI</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> from both places in App_info.xml. When restarting the new boinc install all three machines errored out. Had to reinstall Boinc6.6.36 using the repair setting. Working good so far for me. Runs three at a time now. Also no more errors. Vista64, HD4870, Boinc 6.6.36(64) ,Milkyway 0.20ati(64) also on two other machines Winxp(32), HD4850, Boinc 6.6.36(32),Milkyway 0.20ati(32) http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/hosts_user.php?userid=1258

What do I need to do to get this to run on both cards at the same time. No crossfire right? Do I need to have a monitor pluged into the second card or use a VGA dummy? Mike...

I have two more 4850's in the mail. Waiting to get a 4890 for my machine... 4830's seem to be the best bang for the buck ($89.00). Both of mine overclocked to 650 (max) and run at 51c... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161260 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161259 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102810 They all run quiet under full load.
