1. Corsair 1200 AX, Q6600, EVGA GTX 560 Ti DS SC (the dual fan model), Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB, Win 7 x64, 275.33 driver 2. LAtest version of the unified installer 3. I was, but it`s fixed. In my case is was the EVGA utility attempting to synchronize the 560 with the 460 and then never recovering. If I just don`t use the utility it is fine. 4. 460 runs at 70C under full load (24C ambient) 560 Ti at 80C. Fan speed profile is stock though so only 60% speed there. 5. Stock clocks and voltage (from the manufacturer, both are OC versions though 460 is at 715,900,1430,0.987V. 560Ti is at 900,1053,1800,1.05V. 6. This is left on Adaptive. 7. No This machine is actually really starting to fly...made top 100 today. |

1. Gigabyte GTX560Ti with Nvidia 275.33 drivers, Corsair HX750 PSU, MSI P67-GD65, i7-2600k, Win7x64 Home Premium, 2. x38g, 2 tasks in parallel (to improve efficiency) 3. downclocking from time to time, on average once to twice a day. About 2-3% of WUs finishes with error or completed mark as invalid, not sure is it card related or simply a WU nature. All WUs are processed on GPU. 4. up to 65C (really efficient windforce stock cooler) 5. default, 900Mhz GPU, 2000 MHz Memory. GPU vultage 1.00V 6. Adaptive 7. No. Never ever had any kind of problem playing any game, and I am pretty sure I didn't experiance this with older version of lunatic app and 266.66 drivers (everything else was the same as above). |

1. Gigabyte GTX560Ti with Nvidia 275.33 drivers, Corsair HX750 PSU, MSI P67-GD65, i7-2600k, Win7x64 Home Premium, Bump your voltage to 1.062 and see if that doesn't fix your downclocking. Worked for me. Executive Director GPU Users Group Inc. - brad@gpuug.org |

I have raised the voltage to 1.012V (from default 1.000V), so just one step, and in last 4-5 days I have not experianced any downclocks or error WUs (only three completed, marked as invalid WU, 160+ completed and verified WUs, and many still pending results). So it seems that just the slight voltage increase could help. Seems that on my particular Gigabyte 560Ti-OC factory overclock was a bit overoptimistic in terms of GPU voltage needed for default 900MHz, 1.000V works fine in any game (even 920MHz is ok for games), but not ok for lunatic x38 app, which required at least 1.012V for my particular card/gpu on stock 900MHz. |

Yep. Mine need 1.062V at least or they start throwing errors. It's interesting to me that these cards need more juice than their stock settings on some machines but on others, no worries.

Because the stock frequencies of the 560ti aren't that much above those of the 460 (while the latter has fewer cores - I read 7% in computer magazine I read), manufacturers feel a greater need to play with the clock speeds to tempt consumers with OCd versions, and on top of thise maybe these cards are just a bit more sensitve when overclocked/what voltages are set at or the manufacturers aren't getting the settings quite right... and when you run a GPU, like a CPU, at full load, as when crunching for SETI, those frequencies and voltages have to be just right for things to remain stable. Fluctuations elsewhere in the system, such as in the power from the PSU can easily prevent an overclock from being stable, and manufacturers of GPUs don't know what our PSUs are like - so personally I don't like pre-overclocked GPUs... but I like the ones with decent coolers and it seem you can't have the latter without the former. We don't get pre-overclocked CPUs so it annoys me a little that the market is flooded with pre-overclocked GPUs, just to persuade consumers. Brian. |

I'm noticing a trend that seems to suggest that there's something buggy with the 560ti card as a whole, or at least insofar as its interactions with SETI/Lunatics. 1.Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply 70amps on 1 x 12v rail Q9550, Win 7 64 bit SP1, 4GB Cosair defender ram. ASUS P5Q-E mobo One MSI Twin Frozr 560Ti 2. 0.38 3.Yes. Don't run Seti cuda all the time. Sometimes once or twice in 8 hours drops core to 405MHz. Have looked at error message Boinc say computing error. 4. 60C or less 5. Stock/default 880 core, 1760 Shader, 1050/2100 MHz memory 925/1850/2150 runs 24/7 with F@H but errors with cuda 921/1842/2150 fewer errors once in 8-10 hrs 910/1820/2120 haven't had an error. Standard volts 6. Adaptive 7. no Errors can happen when PC is running without other use. Seem to start with .38 + 27X.xx drivers Have MSI Afterburner installed with above profiles. Have upped fan speed to keep card cooler. Fan speed a few % below temp eg 51%/55C I only run one wu at a time. Haven't got round to the edit to make it run 2 [was unsure if t could. GPU usage 70-90% latter being peaks, average about 50% N.B. F@H runs 98-99% & use more memory. Thought it would be a driver/optimised client issue rather than power as F@H stresses the card more. |

1.Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply 70amps on 1 x 12v rail I am also using a MSI Twin Frozr 560Ti, with no downclocking issues (unless I overclock). The only difference (besides not using MSI Afterburner) really is I'm using nvidia 270.61 drivers, so you might want to try that instead? Brian. |

trowing in a noobquestion ;p i bought some msi 650 ti hawk cards while running normal boinc without lunatic what was it too get more units to work on my card as atm ony runs 1 at a time and should i then go for 2 at once or 3, im thinking 2 as im also playing games while boinc is running also got 2 gtx 260 working in sli, with atm both 1 unit mayby i should increase that1 aswel Joined Seti@home on 20 June 1999 (id:797875) Made This1 to Join the Eve Team http://www.eveonline.com/seti/ |

trowing in a noobquestion ;p 3 per card on a 560ti is fine. It will not run 3 AP tasks per card, only 2. The general rule is 3 MB units per 1 Gig on the card. Executive Director GPU Users Group Inc. - brad@gpuug.org |

wich file do i need to edit to be able to use more then 1 unit on my gpu ? Joined Seti@home on 20 June 1999 (id:797875) Made This1 to Join the Eve Team http://www.eveonline.com/seti/ |

In your app_info find the count.. <coproc> <type>CUDA</type> <count>.5</count> </coproc> Yours should read one. Change it to .5 for two or .33 for three at a time. If you are running a 64 bit system then you should find six instances of <count> if you have a 32 bit system there will only be three. Change them all. This is for the MB CUDA work. If you want to try to run AP on your NV GPUs then come back and ask about that and we will show you how to change that. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |
