Talk about points!

Started Primegrid last week with 3 gpus running part time with Folding at Home. Decided to just turn them onto Primegrid when I saw the points. Over 2,250,000 points in less then a week. Thanks Dr. Pop for recommending the program. Running a GTX 460 oc, Gtx 260 oc and a GTS 9800 also an oc model.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to get a 9600GSO running alongside my GTX 260. I have a slot open so it will go in just have to figure out the set up so Prime will run on both cards. Look out here I come!:D:D:D

Now there's some production!

I just started running an overclocked GTX 580. It does a packet in 8.5 minutes. I theory that should net me 750,000 a day. Does anyone know how good the points in Prime Grid are for an ATI card? I'm currently running DNET with my 5870 and getting around 300,000 a day.

PG credits are terrible with ATI - the app was written in OpenCL which runs terribly inefficiently on the ATI platform. I'd ballpark ~100k/day on PG with a 5870...

Keep your ATI cards on DNETC, MW, collatz, PG...in that order.

Ok all you techies out there. How do I get the GSO 9600 working on Primegrid. I installed it in slot 01 with the GTX 460 on slot 0. Boinc is not crunching on the 9600 but EVGA Precision says that the card is there. Is there a command line or do I have to install another instance of Boinc?

Nice work, you will smoke me in no time. :)

You can try this in your cc_config.xml:


<use_all_gpus>0|1</use_all_gpus>
If 1, use all GPUs (otherwise only the most capable ones are used). New in 6.6.25

Yes. Do that. It should fix it...

Had to make a cc_config file in the hidden data folder but got it set up and put the script in as shown and no luck. Evga precision still shows only 1 gpu being used. Did read config and shut Boinc down and restarted. Only 1 Primegrid running.

Did BOINC read the cc_config file? You should see this message on roughly the second line of your Messages tab in BOINC:

3/22/2011 9:46:12 AM Config: use all coprocessors

If you are not seeing that, then the cc_config.xml file was not set up correctly...

Says "missing start tag in cc_config.xml"

Copy this into the file and save it as "cc_config.xml" (if you don't want your results to immediately report, remove that line). I'm using this in multiple machines now.

Code:

---

<cc_config>
  <options>
      <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
      <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
  </options>
</cc_config>

There we go!!!! Tried read config but had to shut down to get it to work. 99% on both gpus. Thanks. Now let's kick some a$$!!!! This is great...4 wus of Docking, 2 of Primegrid and of course 1 of WUProp.

Did you put more than just that single line in the file? It needs some other stuff too. Something like this:


<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

Edit: D'oh! Didn't realize there was a second page of responses. Looks like you already got it.

Thanks. Got it. I didn't know that I had to put other thing in there. I build them not program. It is up and crankin. Almost 3,000,000 on day 6 and that was with just the 460.

C303a,
Yeah Baby! You're going to shoot up the stats charts like a rocket man. :D. Can't wait to see how all this is going to help our RAC. Literally amazing the points you can throw down with those cards on PG!

Will cover 4,000.000 points today after just 9 days and some of the time I was only running 1, 2, 0r 3 cards. Now I am running all 4.
