1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Optimizing HD 7950 (Message 69835) Posted 19 May 2020 by Burks Post: Yup, MSI Afterburner. It runs at 99% during the WU, so I guess that is it then. Oh well, figured I'd ask. Not sure why I'm not getting any new tasks though. I did 285 yesterday but haven't had any for quite a bit (not a full 24 hours).
2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Optimizing HD 7950 (Message 69829) Posted 18 May 2020 by Burks Post: Finally got my HD 7950 to work with BOINC (had 32 bit W10 installed instead of 64). CPU is a FX 6300. Currently I'm using my CPU for Rosetta@Home (5 cores, 1 saved for GPU). 1. Is there any way to run more WUs at one time? Currently crunching 42k gflop units in about 80 seconds. Wonder if 2 WUs simultaneously would be more efficient? 2. Any settings I can change to make my GPU run more efficiently? Down clocking? Under volting? 3. If I do run another WU, would I also need to use another CPU core? Thanks in advance
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Not getting any GPU work units? (Message 69625) Posted 25 Mar 2020 by Burks Post: I am using the latest Radeon drivers so I will attempt to go back to earlier versions and give that a shot. I didn't know you could see so much info about my PC, that's kind of interesting. Not that I care. I will also attempt to reinstall Windows to the 64bit version. This PC basically has BOINC, F@H, and Steam installed, that's it. So it's not a big deal to do a wipe and clean install (might just wait for my new SSD to come in and do it then).
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Not getting any GPU work units? (Message 69622) Posted 25 Mar 2020 by Burks Post: So I just started using BOINC with my old desktop. Rosetta is running just fine, using all 6 cores at 100%. I'm using that for a little COVID19 research. Since my GPU is sitting idle, I wanted to do something with that as well (astronomy is a hobby of mine). Even when I ran a WU on Milkyway, I still did not see any activity with my GPU. Any ideas? Hate that the thing is just sitting there idle, just wasting fan power. System: Windows 10 32 bit FX 6300 HD 7950 with latest driver Thank you!
