Passkey set up?

Leaving a CPU core for each of the 980s?

What's the core of the WU folding?

Yea 9201 is a core17 and something is up if they are taking 13+ hours to finish, my gtx 980 can run those in under 4 hours even if I'm on the computer. Make sure the the card it clocking up to its rated clock speed and the the gpu usage is 70-80% or more.

Do you have client-type = advanced for your GTX 980 per FAH

I didn't understand your post above. Please verify that you're not CPU folding.

I had a similar problem folding driver 344.65, folding at a reduced clock rate on my 780ti"s...went back to driver 344.48 and they're back up to speed

FWIW I'm on the 344.16 drivers and all is good on a single 970.
Try removing 1 card and see if the other improves.

WOW I can't believe this ....Still nothing has changed ??? Numerous changes with drivers nothing has helped. Switched to only having one GPU folding still nothing. Anymore suggestions ???

No CPU folding

I've actually tried a couple of times with fresh installs without any results ...There was nothing showing in the log records "no errors"
 
What software should I use for the best stress test ??
 
The folding setting was set at full all of the time ..

You can use EVGA's OC scanner, MSI Kombuster, or whatever OCCT has. They all generally provide decent results. The ones tied to monitoring software are nice so you can see if you ever get over 50% during the stress tests.

Being new GPUs, can there be something in the BIOS setting holding up back?
The new AMD 290x with 2 on the board were having some problems.
I forget was it AMD or Nvidia had problems with 2 GPUs on the x58 boards
Just some food for thought.
What motherboard, chip-set and CPU?
Then take a look at the folding forum and see if there is any body having the same problem.
Again, good luck.

This is also quite possible. There are mentions that the BIOS of the x58 should be updated to play nicely with newer cards. If you have not updated the BIOS lately, that may be a good thing to try. Alternatively, you can plug the 980 into another PC if you happen to have one around.
 
Edit: Saw this and this over at [H]. The problems aren't exactly the same, but the combination is very similar. This would be more likely the case if something fails during the stress test.

Update: I went into the bios and changed the "memory low gap" to its highest setting and my ppd jumped, and also the allotted time to completion on the WU dropped drastically ...I'm going to wait to see this current WU till its completed then will reinstall and update drivers
 
Oh and I didn't update the bios ...You think that I should still update the bios ???
 
Fingers crossed that this works
 
Reinstalled FAH to version 7.4.4
 
Picked up to new WU's
 
GPU1: WU 10471 (0, 4, 63) 0.07% done ETA 8.79 days this right "credit 14755" estimated credit 14755 ???
 
GPU2: WU 9201 (765, 2, 13) 6.17% done ETA 2hours 43minutes estimated ppd 305,285 ???

You probably just need to let the 10471 settle out after a 1 or 2%. It should get to some better numbers. As for the 9201, that seem high. Maybe that too will settle out.

Well just want to say a gtx 980 with a nice overclock will actually pull around 300k pdd when left alone. Personal record for my 980 is 325k points in a day.

Excellent then. Looks like I should start shopping for a 980 soon

I'll update this thread when newer WU's are done
 
Looking at a possible new pc build myself for a newer 8 core cpu and another couple of the 980 classifieds
 
My current 980 Classifieds are folding at stock, not much experience in overclocking, is it worth some extra effort fine tuning the GPU's ???

10471 is a core-18 and it's official, they don't play well with Maxwell.
CPU-Z can give you the BIOS info you're looking for.
Glad you're getting it sorted, and pray to the folding gods for core-17 wu's

 
Yes the 10471 WU's and also the 7626 WU's
 
Been praying for the core 17 wu's but seem to be getting a mixed bag of wu's
