6C/12T oc 4.0GHz的extra-large WU表現:

Project #: 2683
Average time/frame: 23m:11s
CPU: Xeon X5650 @ 4.0GHz
# of CPU sockets: 1
# of cores: 6 Physical / 12 Logical
# of fahCore_A2 processes running: 12

RAM installed: 5.8GB (6GB)
RAM used by FAH: 4.6GB
OS / Ubuntu: 2.6.31.19-generic

以frame rate計算單一WU可得近七萬分，約43000 ppd。

自問自答....

9800GX2 + GTX280x2 , 預設時脈 Fahspy 2.0.1 抓出的PPD:
4581/4634 , 7197, 7245

看起來似乎不同SP數的混跑沒問題.... :rolleyes:

加入Fah也有一段時間了...
當初是加入R大8800GT的跑分計劃,
以前都是24小時不關機的,
但是最近結婚了,房間多了一個人,
不能再24小時不關機,晚上睡覺太座會嫌太吵...
想說買一張比8800GT跑分多一點但是功耗及晶片溫度跟8800GT差不多的顯卡,
查了鐵將大的VGAMaster似乎250GTS比較符合我的需求,
但是我想知道250GTS產生的熱量會不會比8800GT還要多?
因為目前是用套裝水冷,溫度的控制目前還ok,
但是如果顯卡的溫度增加的話,可能會連帶影響整的系統的溫度,
所以有所疑慮,
還是有哪張卡更符合我的需求?
不知道有沒有盟友可以給我ㄧ些意見?
謝謝~

恭喜結婚了, 進入新的人生階段.

GTS250依舊會是本年度中階卡活動的項目之一 (雖然重兵都在GF100.)

GTS250 PPD大約有5.5k, 衝分不強, 但也算是OK的長跑卡, 跑到現在約一年都沒出過問題.

我認為舊款8800GT與GTS250廢熱是在伯仲之間, 多耗三十瓦多換1600PPD算是值得.

如果晚上開著會影響家人生活, 那就關機無妨. 不影響生活為前提比較能長久的執行,

只要能持續, 其他都不太是問題. 前年很多人認為遙不可及的積分, 現在隊上已是司空見慣.

所以我覺得平常心來持續參與就自能日起有功. :)

nVidia 196.75 drivers are potentially dangerous!
 

http://en.fah-addict.net/news/news-...y-dangerous.php

A persistent rumour has been spreading on the nVidia forums about the 196.75 drivers. Following reports from several users (specifically here, here and here), these drivers have a problem with the automatic fan speed control.

The problem manifests itself in the fan failing to speed up when the card is under load (and therefore warmer). Some people have had cards burn themselves out due to overheating.

nVidia has not officially confirmed the bug but the fact that the 196.75 drivers have been withdrawn from the download site seems a tacit admission of a serious problem with these drivers.

If you have installed this set of drivers we urge you to remove them and replace them with the 196.21 WHQL or 196.34 beta drivers, which do not have this issue.

Thanks to chhosni for reporting this information.

Updated on 05/03/2010 at 22:46 UTC :
nVidia acknowledged the issue, and their recommendations are similar to ours:

nVidia have said:
196.75 Alert!
We are aware that some customers have reported fan speed issues with the latest 196.75 WHQL drivers on NVIDIA.com. Until we can verify and root cause this issue, we recommend that customers do not download this driver. Instead, please stay with, or return to 196.21 WHQL drivers. Release 196.75 drivers have been temporarily removed from our website and we also are asking our partners and others to remove temporarily this 196.75 WHQL driver as well.

我用ATi 4670 在Win7x64 下跑F@H, 若遇511pt 的work 時經常會使系統遲頓 :jolin:
如檔列表是一行一行慢慢出來的, 小紅傘主控台也會鈍甚至直接當掉... :stupefy:
前陣子看到有個4xxpt 的似乎完全不拖慢小紅傘主控台, 且ppd 跟511pt 的差不多低...但還是常是出現511pt 的 :unbelief:

而WCG這幾天看到有新版而去更新了, 會使Share EX2 介面卡住的問題仍舊... :cry:
BOINC 並不真的會釋出運算力, 當兩個work 在雙核中被迫用一半時, 感覺上它們的優先權反而偏高, 即使是在XP下,如有程式當掉而吃掉一半時...
7zip 在壓縮時也會被BOINC 影響而只能使用一半在雙核中, 但暫止它7z 又不會吃滿100% :jolin:

我覺得比較麻煩的問題是在於把它們暫止或降低後, 當空閑時又忘會了恢復它們 :ase
把WCG 調低CPU 使用時間是相當繁復的動作:
要先開啟Manager, 點選進階>偏好設定, 再移到最多使用[]%CPU 時間作鍵入的動作, 最後點確定才完成, 而想恢復要重來一遍 :stupefy:
程式加入一些這類操作功能應不是什麼複雜的事情吧, 但願它們可以改善這裡...

換了5850之後，這幾天天氣冷想說跑一跑讓房間溫暖些...
結果光是設定要能讓5850跑還得爬文，跑起來印象中比以前的9800GT還慢XD
說不定換成SMP client讓我i7火力全開還跑的比較高分勒 :stupefy:
真希望GPU V3快點出阿阿阿阿 :flash:

i7超3.6g，SMP A3的日產大約在13000~14000左右，雖然沒extra-large那麼高，但也還不錯

可惜有時候還是會接到A1的WU，當天日產就會突然降低

大家的機器有正常運作中嗎?
我的似乎已經停超過半天都不會動了@@
