Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I do hope you didn't install nvidia drivers over your AMD ones without doing a good PROPER cleaning. Here is a good little tutorial from OCN: http://www.overclock.net/t/1150443/how-to-remove-your-nvidia-gpu-drivers/0_30 Windows being slow might well just be a side effect from dicked drivers.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Didn't quite do that. I ran ddu, then deleted all of the amd and nvidia folders I could find on an easy level (didn't go into system32 or anything, just stuff like CCC and Radeon pro) then ran ccleaner to uninstall any extras, then finished with a custom reg clean. Rebooted after every step. In the bios screen it showed a 'PNY 770 OC' bios screen. :/ Windows has been borked since I installed it the first time in April 2013. - - - Updated - - - We have 22wus to go til 1000wu's! - - - Updated - - - We have 22wus to go til 1000wu's!
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. (imported from here) (imported from here) It's folding, but it's getting 5k more ppd than my hd 7770. :\ EDIT: EVGA is drunk. (imported from here) - - - Updated - - - As you can tell, that isn't my image above. I guess imgur glitched. Anyways; 1000 wu's!!!! Great job everyone!
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. My Pentium 4 pooped on me... but it only generated ~200ppd anyway.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Started folding again. It might be going a little bit slower than the last time I folded since my CPU doesn't want to overclock nearly as much as it was before for whatever reason..
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. While 30k is not a bad level in and of itsself, gtx 680s (clocked 250mhz lower on the core and 1ghz less memory) were getting 60-70k. Waiting for unborked drivers, but I think it was intentional so people buy gk110 over 104
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. It wasn't intentional in any way, NVIDIA doesn't officially support folding one way or the other. Improvements for the better or worse are all just chance whether the changes they've made will affect it. A fresh windows install can do wonders if you find the time to do it.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Update on the card. Used a hacky method, might or might not work for your card with it's specific boost algorithms. (imported from here) It will fold for hours bouncing between 1201 and 1215 (usually 1215, only goes down every 2-3 minutes) at 1.14v. 1.14v! So; 1.14-1202Mhz 1.20-Between 1306 and 1354 1.21-Between 1354 and 1410 ASIC 82.0% 1.21v and 1306Mhz hits 65c max. I love this card.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. that's a picture of the monster bolide... anyway, I have a nvidia 8400gs lying around and I want to do something with it but I don't know what really. I can't fold with it, it isn't supported. any ideas? edit: if you click for the source image it loads the right one. interesting
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Think you posted the wrong image again there chief But thats some good news alright, I'll make sure to fire up folding and get a ballstothewalls overclock going to see the most I can get out of mine with these new 14.1 drivers. Edit: You could turn it into a coaster, thats what my 5850 does when not in use, remove the fan and it holds it quite securely with this cooler. Edit numéro deux, just a very small bump on core to 1120, getting some pretty damn good gains. It proceeded to get to about 127KPPD after the screenshot, wonder what 1200 core might net me... : (imported from here)
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Image wise, it is the forums. I checked my imgur link and it is fine. The forums is using its caching thing wrong. :/ it was an EVGA screen anyways, both were. Previously was it showing it running at 20,000,000% TDP. Also, overclocking might not do much. My card overclocked core 1150 vs 1306 only gained 500ppd. Memory might do more. It might run SETI at home or milkyway. Some projects are meant for older cards. You could also take it apart and have some fun increasing its voltage and stuff until it dies, then try using the cooler on random stuff. Has anyone that watercools put the unused gpu cooler on a CPU? On open air test beds they would usually fit with low profile ram. Like take a 290x toxic cooler and put it on a 4770k with zip ties or something.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Memory overclocks do next to nothing for folding from my experience. As for putting a gpu cooler on a cpu unless you change out the fans you are going to have a hard time finding/making an adapter for that fan plug, ultimately its a big waste of time. Most gpus have a smaller IHS size than modern cpus and the coolers therefore have a smaller contact area. Unless of course its something monolithic like the GTX 480 george foreman. Good old thermi. Nvidia, the way its meant to be grilled.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. The 770 is known to be massively bandwidth bottlenecked, much like the hd 7770 was. I gained ~3000ppd from overclocking the memory on that thing. :') The 250mhz core bump gained it another 5k. An overclock got it from 21k to 29k, I miss it. Underclocked with 14.1 it was getting 30k. OTOH my 770 just will not go any higher, a 100mhz memory and 150 on the core and I can only get another 1k ppd out. :/ Just hits 33390ppd and stops. Nothing. Just stops. I thought gpu fans used 3pin? Referencing your other post/edit, that 175kppd+oc looks awesome! Imagine 14.1 has brought rejoice to AMD folders everywhere. I'm waiting for a core-15wu, people say they are nvidia favored. Haven't seen one though. EDIT: My 1.5k'th post.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. The GTX 770 was not bandwidth limited unless you got the stupid 4gb editions. Nor was the 7770 considering it doesn't have enough gpu power to saturate what bandwidth it has. Sure they both benefit from memory overclocks but this doesn't correlate with bus width or the like as some people will tell you. My image says 125KPPD btw and not 175KPPD As for the gpu fan header thing, they use a shrunken down version of a regular 3-pin header, adapters are hard to come by.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. While I don't know about the 770, the 7770 definitely was. 1100/1125 saw less of an improvement vs 1000/1444 in minecraft with shaders. (The only game I played.) I guess since there was an improvement with 1100/1125 it wasn't 100% filled, but it was pretty dang close. Apparently a gtx 770 at 1256/8Ghz effective fills one half of the gap between it and the 780. That would mean that my card at 1400/8Ghz+ would be soooo close to a 780/Titan. Its so tempting, but overkill/dangerous. Ah well.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. cut and splice is lost on this community D: lol
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. What is that? Is it the art of creating long, flowing sentences that go from one topic to another, creating the idea of smooth speech? Like; "I can't fold on my 8400 gs. It's not supported." Vs. "I can't fold on my 8400 gs because it isn't supported; what is a good use for it?" Uses prepositional phrases and other messy stuff. *shudder* I tend to type without flowing and just going from one idea to the next because that's what my brain does. It just kinda hops around. Doesn't finish a thought with an end, just moves on. EDIT: Ooh, my card now does 1149 at 1.09v. Hmmmm.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I meant with wires... Make your own adapter. Cut some stuff and solder it together and try not to make smoke. It really is a good bit of fun. I didn't mean to insult the way you type. I know I don't type perfectly
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Lol, I didn't take it as an insult. The funny thin is I've always been taught that cut and splice is use prepositional phrases to take two sentences and make them one. Never really got the hand of it, English isn't my thing.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. 2 things with that. One, running your card that fast would be a suicide run at the very best which you should probably know by now. And two, you are forgetting that a 780 can also overclock to around 1200-1300, you wouldn't be anywhere near it with your 680 rebrand. Benchmarks don't lie.
