Just one but it takes 48 seconds/per unit so i dont think it's necessary to over do it. BTW can it crunch more than one at a time. I dont have a crossfire setup so one GPU one unit, 2 GPU 2 units..although it would be costly and pretty hot in that case. The cpu is crunching 6 other with mix of einstein and seti (but not the gpu projects). I've downclocked th4e GPU to original factory specs and it's been fine so far. THE RAC went from 0 to 47k in 3 days..guess it is working.

well i only have 2 invalid and 10 compute errors on over 1200 units since friday. Seems to be within tolerable error rate. I had stated before but i only use 6 cores out of 8. My error rate is way to high with einstein...85% plus error so i think i'll stick with Milky way. Got to say that its really crunching away with this baby. ;-)

i've downclocked from original manufacturer 1000mhz to 925mhz original. I'll try overnight and see results. thanks for tips. I'll keep you posted on results.

it's XFX 1000mhz not overclocked by me or by hardware. It's not the ghz editon at 1050mhz. pretty stable no artefatcs in benchmarks.

thanks...unfortunate we cant get those stats directly through tabs in BOINC app


here goes does this look like normal behavior?


All (254) | In progress (49) | Pending (45) | Valid (152) | Invalid (1) | Error(7)
Application: All (254) | MilkyWay@Home (253) | MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation (1) | Milkyway@Home Separation (0)

Where in Boinc can i access the status of a particular WU. It's easy in einstein and SETI but in milKyway...tHE only tab i have is HOMe paGE.

Hi all,


I've been reading this thread anxiously hoping to find the reason why my new 7970 has a success rate of less than 15.9% on GPU crunched workunits. total WU for GPU is 395, 63 valid, 197 invalid, 135 pending. Settings are no more than 6 cpu used, 16gig ram. I was using a gt 520 before and everything was fine, i know it's CUDA, but wanted what was considered the best cruncher around but very dissapointed by failure rate. I'm using lastest offcial drivers from AMD. I just started Milky was to see if the invalids were app scpecific because most happen with einstein. Unfortunately i cant seem to be able to see through boinc all my results with milky way so i cannot tell wether the wu are valid or not. I have a total score but i've also crunched wu with cpu thus i cant conclude that my total is solely from GPU WU. Can smeone help me?
