GTX470 on XP running a Beta: 2678845 1704781 17 Jul 2010 8:32:57 UTC 17 Jul 2010 11:05:25 UTC Completed and validated 280.06 276.80 187.28 280.92 ACEMD beta version v6.32 (cuda31) This is really good speed. A standard clocked GTX480 is 5ms/step under Linux. So only 10% slower for an overclocked GTX470. As good as it can get. gdf ID: 18024 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I can't hardly wait for the real workunits. :) I hope they will run this fast and efficient too. ID: 18031 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I ran a Folding@home task today while running this Beta. It ran very slow compaired to the other Betas, but at least it ran. You cant do this with non-Fermi cards; the GPUGrid tasks would just fail! 2686592 1708583 18 Jul 2010 Completed and validated 277.58 275.69 187.28 280.92 ACEMD beta version v6.32 (cuda31) 2686539 1707219 18 Jul 2010 Completed and validated 1,442.30 1,438.45 187.28 280.92 ACEMD beta version v6.32 (cuda31) 2686534 1707190 18 Jul 2010 Completed and validated 277.84 276.08 187.28 280.92 ACEMD beta version v6.32 (cuda31) ID: 18039 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

One of my rosetta WU failed too. Every test WU are slightly under 5ms/step. ID: 18040 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 19 Jul 2010, 15:17:03 UTC Perhaps the GTX460's are not using all of their shaders? Anyway, half the speed of a GTX480 is not bad; a GTX460 costs less than half the price of a GTX480! It would seem that under Win7 the 1GB version is 10% faster than the 786MB version: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2691759 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2691597 ID: 18057 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 19 Jul 2010, 15:48:54 UTC Well, ok it runs, we can start tests. it is very slow at least on Windows 7. Anyone with XP and SWAN_SYNC=0? gdf Works here too but it's so slow that the 460 will be staying on Collatz for now. In Collatz the GPU usage is 99% and temp 56C. In GPUGRID the GPU usage is 46% and the temp 44C. Win7-32. Why can't we get an app that runs at 95+ percent when every other GPU project does that easily? http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2691759 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2691643 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2691630 ID: 18059 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
