    Re: Getting the PPSieve WUs to run on ATI cards

    Thank Max I'm crunching away now. I'm finding that it take my 5870 about 21 minutes and my 4870 about 43 minutes to complete a WU. How is everyone else making out? Also do I need to bump up the memory for these or leave them low like Milk?

    Leave 'em low. And, since it's a less efficient app (running ~80% load), you can probably OC your cards higher for PG...

    Re: Getting the PPSieve WUs to run on ATI cards

    I also noticed that my 4850 runs much cooler crunching PG than it does with MW. For now though I have put my ATI back on MW. I won't abandon that fight PG has replaced DNETC on my nVidia cards.

    Thanks again Maxwell for the info. Good work.

    Looks like it favours Nvidia/Cuda.....

    Without a doubt, great credit for CUDA, not the best for ATI. Also from what I'm seeing the ATI app needs around 12% CPU compared to less than 1% for CUDA, this will cut into your CPU projects.

    Agreed. But for 3 days, I'll run it...

    Yep! I'll upgrade to CAT 10.10 when I get home from Hawaii and get the cards setup

    Sounds great Bryan...

    I am actually thinking about getting myself a cheap CUDA card, since PG is one of my all time favourites.....But X-mas is just around the corner and lots to spend money this month.....

    Argh....Desicions desicions....

    You could just put the card on your wife's hint list for your x-mas present

    It seems that even with the temporary credit increase that the other ATI projects still pay better, for nVidia cards this is the motherload until they adjust the credits again. My pair of 275's was getting about 90k a day on GPUGrid, now getting over 300k a day.
