Interesting is what I am calling this. First off, I don't have control of the GPU fan. the AMD CCC allows me to limit the speed but doesn't allow me to set a minimum. I like a nice steady hum instead of Hummmmmm sudden silence HUMMMMMMmm repeat..

The next thing I noticed is that GPUZ Doesn't appear to be able to read the GPU load. I see the temperature rise but no load shown regardless of no work, 1 WU, or 3 WUs.

I realize I'll need to take up the GPU load with the GPUz folks.

I'm just wondering if this card has any special needs or abilities that warrant a new app reverting to an older one

Did you try MSI Afterburner Beta ?

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

It's a gigabyte but I will give the afterburner a shot.

I'm have an aftermarket Gelid Cooler coming. That should keep it very cool

Afterburner works on all manufacturers that I have seen so far.

I have EVGA cards in my systems.

On this CU monster you will probably need much sharper settings.

I would do some offline benches.

Try -unroll 16 -ffa_block 12288 -ffa_block_fetch 6144.

will get on that when I get home

If MSI Afterburner doesn't work (very doubtful, but possible), you can try Asus GPU tweak instead.

things seem to be working pretty well. running 3X WU's and getting AP's done in about 23 minutes is awesome

Dont forget to free enough CPU cores.
Otherwise you will suffer badly on high blanked tasks.

This GPU will outperform the CPU cores easily.

Just for clarity. You are running 3 wu at the same time and
it takes 23 minutes to complete them all?

Or it takes 69 minutes to complete 3 wu running at the same time?

Looks like for each task. Some take a little longer, a little over 30 minutes per task.

yes some blanked WU's fall back to the CPU and take much longer to process.(wishing that they'd find a way to ignore or skip over the blanked areas of data)

Its not a CPU fall back.
Blankings will be processed by CPU only by design.

Looking Good!, catching up (RAC-Wise, for what that's worth LoL), on my 780 system. For the sakes of comparison, granted mine doesn't crunch all the time at the moment, only has a dual core CPU, and doesn't do AP, with fingers crossed the competition will bring prices down from both main brands.

nice card....I was looking at the specifics of the card...wow...512 bit...sweet

How to free up cpu cores?

---

1) Open BOINC Manager
2) Tools in the Menu bar.
3) Select Computing preferences...
4) Select processor usage tab
5) On multiprocessor systems, use at most
Here is where things get interesting:

a) If you have one core, your choices are 0% and 100%.
At 0% cpu is not used for crunching, so gpu will use it as needed.
At 100% cpu is used for crunching, I think gpu will have partial access to cpu.

b) If you have dual core cpu (two cores), your choices are 0%, 50%, 100%.
At 0% neither core is used for cpu crunching.
At 50% one core is used for cpu cruching, one core is free.
At 100% both cores are used for cpu crunching.

c) If you have quad core cpu (4 cores), you choices are 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%.
At 0% none of the cores are used for cpu crunching.
At 25% one core is used for cpu crunching.
At 50% two cores are used for cpu crunching.
At 75% three cores are used for cpu crunching.
At 100% all four cores are used for cpu crunching.

And so on.

On this CU monster you will probably need much sharper settings.

I would do some offline benches.

Try -unroll 16 -ffa_block 12288 -ffa_block_fetch 6144.

I'm using -unroll 16 -ffa_block 16384 -ffa_block_fetch 8192 on my HD 7970, is that too much?

So long you dont get false overflows (30 pulses) its fine.
I`m testing such values atm on my 7970.
