Lets get this subject back on track and post your performance your card is doing. List your GPU card, how many being crunched per card and the times.
----------------------------------------AMD HD7870 Ghz edition is doing 8 with completion times around 5:30 time frame. When I was doing 6, about 4:30, and doing 4 did around 3 minutes. Not to bad of a card but wonder if I should back off to 6 for faster times.
Crunching for humanity since 2007!

Not to bad of a card but wonder if I should back off to 6 for faster times. I'd stick with 8 if it doesn't cause lagging or other problems. Running 8 in 5.5 minutes is 1 every 41.25 seconds (60 * 5.5 / 8). Running 6 would be 1 every 45 seconds ( 60 * 4.5 / 6). For another sample: 7970 @ 1125 MHz running 9 at a time takes around 2.5-3 minutes each or 1 every 20 seconds or so. |

I am running 3 WU at a time on an X6 2.8 Ghz with a 560ti @ 925Mhz. Averaging 11 mins for 3. One WU takes about 5 mins. Thought about running 4 WU but it is lagging already. I can run 5 WU with Poem and still use the machine.

Not to bad of a card but wonder if I should back off to 6 for faster times. For those tuning in late...(namely me) Are you using an app_whatev.xml file that allows other WCG cpu work? I ask because I have an AMD7870 coming that is going into a sys with 980X @4.0 ish. That obviously means my CPU will run pretty cool even when attempting .125 in the app_ file. Granted that tis is still much better than the 1 HR/wu that the cpu takes/WU. Is there a limit for amd cards for wu/card? I'm newbie to amd GPU. If I can go .1 then I concieveably run 10 cores (cool cpu :) ) and much greater total output while the HCC1 project is running? EDIT: Dedicated cruncher so lag is not an issue.

EDIT: Dedicated cruncher so lag is not an issue. You can use <count>.083</count> to run 12 at a time. It works perfectly on my 980X+7970. I haven't done it on a 7870, but someone on team XS has: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthrea...mp;viewfull=1#post5148214 |

TY,
I just want to stick with 10 cpu cores though. Cooler running CPU and less power. Next endeavor is to find a way to find where to put the app_ file and create it. I can't find it with what I've seen as the Paths. It's win7 x64 OS. Should I let all finish and uninstall? Is there a How To that could get me there? I did a simple "oops just get me going" on the machine :( Been running fine and never knew it could do better. I love science contributions with my HW and have been doing it for many years. Boinc for just over a year. 1st project WCG :) All my Machines that I use for donation are dedicated so lag isn't an issue. All run 24/7 365 also. I'm just midlin but want to make the most of what I've got to contribute with  |

It goes in the boinc data folder under projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org. |

TY, Will definately find a way by tuesday when the 7870 shows up :)
Now... conflicting info on whether the app_info.xml file will work for NV cards on XP64. Can it work? Have 2 EVGA 570 factory OC to 797 that are in a 990x @4.4 ghz with 6G Ram. They are kicking what 580's show on charts and even a bit more :) but 1 each :( Can XP do the app_info.xml? File/Folder finding is issue here as well. TY in advance for any help. |
