Message 1023771 - Posted: 8 Aug 2010, 19:55:07 UTC - in response to Message 1023762.  

Hey guys,

I just put together a seti box with 2x GTX460s...the performance is pretty poor however. I understand Fermi support isn't real solid at present, but my results seem worse than what I'm seeing browsing around.

System Info
Intel i7 920
2x GTX460
Windows 7-64bit
BOINC 6.11.4
Lunatics UI 0.36 (MB only)

My Fermi's are currently spending ~30-45 minutes per workunit...each.
According to GPUz, they are running at speed with ~75% GPU load.

I've tried running multiple WUs on the GPUs, and that yeilds really awefull results. GPU usage drops to ~40%, and complete about 0.25% in 5 minutes.

Below is my app_info that I cobbled together from this thread.
Any assistance would be great...or maybe this is to be expected (VLARs?) ??

Thank you
...

Yes, you got a few reissues of old VLARs. Other than those, midrange ARs are showing 12 or 13 minutes, VHARs 3 or 4 minutes in your validated tasks.

That's only about 6.5 times faster than your CPU for midrange, I'd expect better. As usual for fermi cards there's "clockRate = 810000" shown in the stderr reports. Are you sure the clocks are being boosted when doing tasks?

A quick very approximate estimation for <flops> to put in your app_info.xml as the cards are now working would be 3.17e10 for the CPU app and 2.05e11 for the GPU app.
                                                                  Joe

I have a batch that hasn't uploaded yet (network issues).
Looks like they are finishing up in the 22-25min range for the most part.
With some 12 mins as you noted

Hi Josef,

Yes I've been logging with GPU-z and the clock speeds are staying at 100%.
However they usually however around 60-70% load...which I'm not sure if that is normal or not.

I will try putting in the flops values for the card and see what that does.

Appreciate the help

You're welcome.

The flops won't affect runtime, but should help BOINC estimate and do work fetch better. It's just an attempt to cooperate with the way BOINC is designed rather than fight it.

The 60-70% load is similar to what others have reported for fermi cards running single instances. Maybe one of those VLARs was involved when you tried the multiple instance setup before, or maybe the 48 processors/shaders per multiprocessor of the 460 reacts differently from the 32 on GTX 470 and 480 cards.

Hey! You're a Squire!, when you get comfortable you might like to try the x32f build in Beta testing.

Hey thanks for the heads up Jason, not sure how I missed that lol
Wow...so far looks to be a sizable boost on my box...nice... :)

On the bright side, did also manage to get multiple WUs running on the 460s :D
Guessing I had some bad units before, because I cant figure out what I did for the life of me...

thanks again guys

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? I just manage to make my system (and cache) survive a win xp32 -> win7 64 upgrade, and was confident to insert Fermi information on it, in preparation for my 2 GTX 460 that are on the way, even still with my GTX 295 installed (its supposed to be backward compatible?).
I reschedule all my WUs to cpu, and when i can get some 610 work now, its ending like this:

Try doing a Boinc repair installation, to reset your folder permissions,

I find this very funny. Everybody says, yes better performance and faster blablabla.

The thing is, I did try it out for a week a few weeks ago and it is NOT faster or better performance. It's just BS.

The thing is, yes do 3 wu's crunching at same time on fermi, BUT it also needs 3 times more from the cpu!

Normaly it uses for 1 wu between 10%-20%, now becource of 3 wu's it takes 30%-60% of the CPU. It slows the CPU down. And I thing that is not what you want to see!
I do what I can and I can what I do! :P

I don't share the same experience...
When I look at the taskmanager, the GPU tasks are only using 1-2% of the CPU.

The GPU is much faster than the CPU so it doesn't really matter if it uses up a little bit of CPU time...

All my CPU cores (6 of them) process a normal WU in about 1 hour 58 minutes, except for the one that is reserved fot the GPU... It takes about 10 minutes longer...
But in exchange for that, I get 2.5 more WU's done in an hour by the GPU because it processes 3 at a time...

Always something to watch out for with manual downloads (no signature or MD5 checksum), especially when the download pipe is maxxed out - that's why I always try to remember to put file sizes alongside my download links.

Well done for sorting it out by yourself - I had a look at the app_info earlier, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong there (and clearly wasn't).

That was going to be my next suggestion, but i've out for the afternoon, so hadn't even got to look at the app_info until now,
Glad it's working now,

You might want to swap the Astropulse_v505 r339 app for the latest r409 app, there were compatibility fixes with r409, can't remember if there were any speedups,

Hello everyone,

You tell me, you have to read ...

But with no English programming boinc, I wanted to know that I can file app_info created for my system:

I already installed 0.36 lunatics ...

below the existing file to change ....
