Thanks. Is there a tool to monitor GPU temps for Linux ? Radeontop don`t work on my 380. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

I just use aticonfig in the terminal. A little ways from the bottom you will see examples of the command lines. I just select and copy the line with the mouse, then hit control+shift+v to paste it into the terminal. The --od-getclocks will show the GPU load. For the CPU temps you can install lm-sensors and then type sensors in the terminal. sudo apt-get install lm-sensors |

I'd forgotten about this - thanks! 31.1% for my FX 8350 under full load - may the Gods bless watercooling :F |

Thanks. Check lunatics download section for SGP. Hope it works. _\|/_ U r s |

Thanks. Tried that already but doesn`t work. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Thanks. Seems to work on my one machine I've tried it on. It shows both the 7750 that's just running the monitor and the 6970 running the tasks. I can't find a way to copy the readings so I can post them though. Thanks Urs. |

Thanks. Sad. Maybe its time to use the ADL APIv7 to get the latest GPUs working, too. _\|/_ U r s |

First impressions after 12 hours crunching. Running 2 instances works without any problems. Its also faster but when i woke up in the morning my system didn`t respond properly. After work i had to reset my PC because the system simply didn`t respond anymore. Increased period_iterations_num to 40 like i have it set on win 7. Reduced Spike_fft_thresh to 2048. Will see how it behaves after a few hours. I guess i`ll run a few benches also. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

I had my own 'issues' when trying the long cmdline and the AMD-APP 1729.3 driver. The run times slowly creep longer. I tried the 1729.3 driver and it didn't help any. I went back to my much simpler cmdline, but, by this time the shorties were taking about a minute longer and it didn't help either. I have a low-end GPU running the monitor and didn't notice any response issues, just slower run times. So, I went back to Catalyst 14.6 and the short cmdline and everything instantly went back to normal, looks as though it's still the best combination for my machine. I'll change the other machine back to Cat 14.6 later tonight. |

Dont get me wrong here. I have no lags during crunching, just when i wasn`t on the computer for a few hours. Whilst at work for example. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Both my machines are working much better with Catalyst 14.6. I see you're still using oclFFT max WG size override set to:256. Have you tried it set to oclFFT max WG size override set to: 128? Both my machines are quite a bit faster with it set to 128. |

Both my machines are quite a bit faster with it set to 128. I ran some benches with this value and it was always slower with 128. Increasing period iterations num to 40 works fine. No screen lags anymore and no hiccups either. Now i`m trying to get it faster. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

For the CPU temps you can install lm-sensors and then type sensors in the terminal. So what happened when you tried the line, aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperatures ? It was so obvious I didn't think I needed to mention it. lm-sensors is for the CPU, just as I mentioned. I've been playing around with Win 8.1 & Catalyst 14.9 on the early 2014 Cayman running APs. I rarely get an AP time under 20 minutes in 8.1 whereas I regularly see under 20 minutes in Ubuntu with Catalyst 14.6. Both OSes run it around the mid 90% load range. It's not much of a difference, but it is a difference. |

lm-sensors is for the CPU Mmmm... A lot more than just CPU temp is pulled in and made available... One display package I run is gkrellm. The 'lm' part of the name refers to displaying the lm-sensors. Other components are pulled in also. You may find that has a 'plugin' for your GPU. Also note that lm-sensors needs to find what can be monitored. That is usual run as part of the install. Even so, may be worth running through the arcanery to manually check what is available... I note GPU temperature and graphics memory usage to guage utilisation... Happy optimised fast crunchin!

lm-sensors is for the CPU OK, I installed it with sudo apt-get install gkrellm. I went to the site and found this; http://www.mulliner.org/collin/gkibm-acpi.php When I ran it I got; tbar@MediaCenter:~$ cd '/home/tbar/Downloads/gkibm-acpi-0.1.1' tbar@MediaCenter:~/Downloads/gkibm-acpi-0.1.1$ make rm -f *.o gcc -O2 -Wall -fPIC `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags` -c gkibm_acpi.c -DFAN Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found In file included from /usr/include/gkrellm2/gkrellm.h:41:0, from gkibm_acpi.c:10: /usr/include/gkrellm2/log.h:37:18: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory #include <glib.h> ^ compilation terminated. make: *** [fan] Error 1 So, this is a new system, I haven't installed any of the 'extras' needed to compile anything. I guess I need the install the usual suspects to get this to work? |

GkrellM looks nice. How do i get my GPU temps ? Which plug in has to be installed ? I do get the temps with aticonfig but not with psensors as well. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Found AMDOverdriveCTRL. Not all functions are support on my GPU but it works. Another nice tool is Krusader. A file manager like Total Commander. Makes it much easier to edit and copy files. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |
