Hiho, well im not that experienced yet in all this stuff, but from what I saw and heard 12k RAC for thoose 2 Cards is way to low !?!? What could be the reason? I had thoose 12k rac~ after a week of 24/7 crunching!

The GTX 285 (also OC'd) is running on a Q9300 @ 3GHZ on WinXP Pro 32bit

The GTX260 (216 cores) is running on a standart E6300 on WinXP Pro 32 bits..

Please give me any hints how to optimize that!

Thanks in advance =)

But I have seen GTX260 doin almost 10k solo and I got 2 cards, I still dont get it how that can be possible :x

RAC moves very slowly. I have not done work for SaH in over two months ... still have RAC over 1 ...

You can look at the stat sites and they post data that can give you a better view of the instantaneous daily production. Or you can manually look in your pages here to see how many tasks per day the cards are doing.

Zydor, I have unhidden my Computers, noiw I hope that rly helps you somehow =)

Had a look - all your results are working great - the cards are crunching nicely, and you are being credited for the work done. Just check every now and then that you are crunching the number of WUs you expect to at any one time, in case some did not load correctly, and in fact you have an idle core somewhere.

Paul hit the nail on its head - RAC is a variable beast in the way its calculated, dont get hung up about its actual daily value, just use it in a relative sense to get the feel of a trend in your results.

Get into the habit of looking at the actual daily results - not averaged out (RAC) results - feeding through to the Stats.

As long as the actual daily totals are feeding through, and your work is being reported in BOINCStats, all is well.

Hmm ok thank you. Well im at 12k RAC now again lets see if I get higher this time :P

Thanks for the help!


-stil im aint able to understand how ppl with just a GTX260 can have 10k RAC then- :D

ok 13k now, lets see how far i get this time =)

Paul D. Buck , ur GTX280 alone gets u 12k RAC and mine GTX 285 is at 7k..... there must be something wrong or something to optimize for me :(!

Im afraid its the end again, cuz im pending at theese 13,5k cuz i already had 13,6 and went back to 13,5 which is obviously a sign that its the end, isnt it ?

I never said anything about a "Pending Credit" i talked about my credit is being pending between.. sorry if i confused u there... :S

Hmm btw, how does Overcloking affect with GPUGrid is it good or not good to overclock my card? cuz that might be the reason then cuz my gtx285 is overclocked... could this be ?

I get the feeling you are still hanging onto RAC as the "ultimate" statistic and basing all judgements on that, wanting instant - or near instant RAC change. RAC is purely - and only - an average of past credits spread over a large number of days. It will therefore climb slowly as an improvement takes place - or the initial startup period on a project plays through. It eventually flatten out not increasing further, assuming no improvements are made to the rig. The whole process of RAC climbing and stabilising can take 2-4 weeks depending on what you are crunching.

Your actual results are good - they are in the range 20,000 to 25,000 credits, thats fine, all good to go, the cards are doing well. Be careful not to tweek yourself to death in the meantime motivated by an RAC number that only changes slowly and is purely a statistic indicating a long term trend.

The actual daily results are where its at, and is the real indication of the card's performance - and the latter at present is good :)

Ok, seems u guys where right im at 16k now! The last guy: Yea my gtx 260 is running on core speed 700 and the gtx285 at core speed of 730 :) so i hope i can come beneath the 20k RAC someday =)

17,5k now and my GTX260 is doin a very nice job at 11k RAC, but worries me is my GTX285 how can she have such a low RAC !?!?! :|

Maybe because of the many WUs aborted by user? Maybe because you only finished 16 tasks successfully on this computer since March 20th `til now?
And unless you don't have two computers with a GTX285, merging the two hosts shown with the GTX285 could also help... ;-)

Like many people told you before - Recent Average Credit takes some time to rise. With only a few returened results you won't see a hughe increase...

Ah ye, i changed my system from XP to Vista where the GTX285 is on and them any aborted Wus was when i tryd out SETI :|

BUt look at the cpu times, the gtx260 takes arround 2k~ each Wu and my gtx 285 4-5k+~ what the hell?

My clocks are:

Core clock: 730

Shader clock: 1548

Memory clock: 1404

on the GTX285 and im using the driver "182.08_geforce_winvista_64bit_international_whql"

on Boinc 6.5.0

well EVGA Precision tool aint showing it in x2 so yea its 2806

Comeone guys, there must be a solution on this, i even renewed my mainboard drivers! Still same problem my GTX285 gets on 1hr 5% on WU process and my gtx 260 is doin 10 in not even 20 minutes! :(

Guys, I find this weird. I stopped using gpugrid for about 2 months. Yesterday I came back to do some number crushing and to my surprise... it takes me about 12 hours just to finish one task. Before it would take me, more or less, 3 hours.

I have a gtx 260 (normal one) and windows xp. I have tried diferent boinc versions and sitll getting the same results.

P.s. Nothing changed in my pc except the graphics drivers (the latest nvidia ones).

Ok, than I don't have anything to worry about.

Yes, Usually it would give me 2 to 3 thousand credits for each work unit and it would take an average of 3 hours.

Example: from 90 cpu time to 300 cpu time.

Right now it has been from 759.03 up to 1,166.92 cpu time.

Because I do more seti, I didnt spend to much time with gpugrid. 99% of the score I have right was done usually when Seti was down and that wasn't for long, lol.

I also have a GTX260 since the very beginning of the first alpha tests for GPUGRID (and it is running with the same clock speed like yours), but I don't remember we ever had tasks that would only take about 3 hours on that card... Are you really sure about that?

But yes, we have a few different WU types now, and about 12 hours per task on the GTX 260 seems ok...

17,5k now and my GTX260 is doin a very nice job at 11k RAC, but worries me is my GTX285 how can she have such a low RAC !?!?! :|
