I am running 5x 970's, bring them if you can, much appreciated.
Be sure to run only 373.06 driver...
 
Any help we can give, please ask..
 
Awesome...


I have only been running 373.06 drivers, I have the program loaded up and hoping it is pointed in the correct direction for you folks. Joined the team and set it for AP27 GPU only. Hopefully that is all that needs to be done, the only thing I am waiting on is the Folding project to complete in ~7 hrs.


EDIT: As long as it is AP27 does the "task" matter? It shows "The Riesel Problem (Sieve)" Or should it show something else?


Yes  "The Riesel Problem (Sieve)" is a CPU Task. You need to turn off running CPU Tasks and uncheck "The Riesel Problem (Sieve)"
I will create and past some images.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you. Thank you.
The crunching team is laid back and we believe in do what you can, when you can and what you want. No pressure.
When it comes to the PG series, a few of us like to give it our all. We are a small team and we hang in there with the big boys. Err big people.
WCG has a place in our hearts as well, it is a good project that has had real world results in cancer research.
Get some badges and most of all have some fun.
Everyone here is willing to help if we can, just ask.


Well said Bill, well said.
Standing right next to you, CPU's and GPU's at full power..

Remember as Bill said you can still run Both CPU and GPU Tasks.
My setup is running GPUs here on PG while my CPUs are running over on WCG
 
    <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> I have gone as low as .3 here but .5 seems better and I ended up at 1 Some Team Members are running 2 or 3 Tasks Per GPU. On my AMD I also run only One Task Per GPU.

I also go into the Computing preferences-> Other section and reduce the "Store at least" and "Store up to..." values to .01 days.  I don't like a bunch of WUs hanging around that aren't getting crunched.  No impact on performance, just cleaner in my book.

Yes on the Client Tool, I set mine to 0.03 and 0.02. Thanks mektacular

Need to keep it "simple" for now, not that much CPU HP in the machine> 875K and I do not have it OC'd right now. Not saying I wouldn't run it if you folks needed it to help out on a challenge. My main draw back to Folding was the addition of being able to "choose" what projects you would like to place emphasis on with your hardware.

As far as having WUs hanging around.
If you are looking for prime numbers, it is important to set that to 0.00 both store at least and the other additional one to 0.00 too
Reason is to get credit as founder of the prime, you have to turn yours in first. There is someone else doing that same WU. You want them to turn it in 2nd, they will be the "double-checker" also where it asks for your name, put it in there and check the box to let them report the prime for you. Then your name will be in the book of largest 5000 primes found.
Also doing LLR units you want hyperthread off. Doing sieve, HT can be on.
In a sieve challenge it is not a bad idea to have a few extra WUs waiting, just in case you lose internet connection. You still have work to do.
