Just a quick GPU Console Client question regarding this 8057 WU.  Is anyone using the GPU Console Client (6.41), with a Kepler and receiving the 8057?  I've never been able to even get Kepler and Console Client to work, but just wanted to see if someone has done it.  I know that V7 has all this covered, but I still prefer the Console. 

i would direct you to my earlier post on betateam flag for v6
someone at FF has received them using the gpu client

The -betateam argument doesn't work with both the Console Client (6.34) and a Kepler GPU.  I had already tried that before I posted my question and the WU just sits there and will not process.  It is very similar to what everyone experienced when we attempted to Fold on a Kepler (using V7 or Tracker) without the -beta argument in the early days of Kepler.  My best guess is that the person at the FF (that reported using the Console Client and the -betateam argument) is Folding on a Fermi GPU.  Keplers are just a "different animal" when it comes to trying to use any Client other than V7 to Fold on them from my experiences.  It appears to me that Keplers will not be supported by PG with anything other than the V7 Client.  But I still hope for it to work even if I'm in the minority of people that like the Console. 

Did you try Folding@Home Client console Version 6.41r2?
Also try running -configonly and add to the line extra_parms= -gpu 0 -verbosity 9 -betateam
With these I would also do a maunal download of v2.25 core then add it to the GPU folder.
Backup the old v2.22 before over writing. Client.cfg should end up looking something like this.

Unless the v7 client is giving you problem I just couldn't see why anyone would want to stick to using console clients

Because it much simpler to config you have more control over configuring the client & gives better performance.
Just my 2 cents of a dime.

That's what -config or -configonly are good for: editing the client.cfg so it doesn't get corrupt.
 
Folding@home-Win32-GPU.exe -configonly
 
BTW Wordpad shouldn't be use it will become corrupt, notepad works fine, been using it for years.
But the very best way is to use the -config flag then there is no chance of corruption.
-configonly is best used when you only want to make changes but not start the client
after the configuration is done.

Been out of folding for a bit and would like to get my 580s back folding .. I quit running beta before I stopped folding a few months ago since the units then ran soo hot and used lots of power . If I switch back on beta how is the heat and power consumption with the current beta units ?

I think folks posted so fast we missed your question... I have not heard of any heat issues thus far with the 8057 Beta's.

I'm running a 470 @ 700MHz on 1.025v and the temp is no higher then 62C

Not bad numbers for some older cards, Would like to know the numbers for the 660's and the 650ti's.

First person I've noticed to be getting these in the USA 48 states.
Good for you.

I'm still not getting any, not convinced i'm doing right. I just put "beta" in the v7 client params

new WU's with QRB? 
you mean 8057
I suppose  typos

Thanks sometime the brain don't see what the hands are doing!
 
And that's why I have 3 GREAT kids!!!

i swear i posted this when i woke up.....
 
Had 1 or 2 overnight, HFM has 2 entries for the 8057 wu but the time stamp is way wrong on 1 of them. Shows it finished 2 hours before it downloaded Looks like i got credit from 2 of them but not really sure, EOC and HFM numbers don't add up. IDK its whatever.
 
was getting a TPF of 2:07 and got credit of 17,942 on my 660 ti on the one i can track. HFM history is showing all zeros for credit and PPD, not sure if it needs updated again or has something to do with the WU being in beta.

HFM wasn't showing any credit or PPD for me either

 
ok, then it's not just me.
 
If i did the math right its about 125k ppd. going to switch over the kids rig to v7 and see if i can pull some on the 460s.

uncle fussy was using only the console version
Nothing was running except a GPU3 client and TeamViewer to monitor the boxes in the basement.
 
 so only data we have for console is FERMI's 
 
but the modified tracker can do Kepler (see tracker thread in guide section)

These projects don't show up on the regular psummary list but on the psummaryC list (incl. advance and beta projects).
So if you direct HFM (Edit -> Preferences -> Web Settings - Project Download URL) to that list they will show up.

Hmm looks like my 260's and 8800GT may stop serving then

Still have that odd one with the time stamp issue. Download was at 11/10/2012 3:48 AM Completion at 11/10/2012 1:26 AM, PPD 17,341, Credit 2549
Ran all 100 frames and no I'm not drunk either

also something to consider 
I found a post referring to GPU2 being discontinued end of this year or next (on FF)
it's also why ps3 is being discontinued

could be the reason for QRB and the new core
gpu3 only and it will force people to upgrade

Here's proof that these WU's can be ran on the older harware.
I'll try to find the projects I ran on the 8800's & post those.
They maybe trying to phase out older hardware, but this clearly shows that these can be ran on such.
The time is just matching, because there not running the project, it was longer TPF for each 260 on p8101.
If I recall right it was like 5:38 for the 260's Tpf & the PPD  was lower that what's shown.
