Thank you TJ & ETA!
It's already crunching for Einstein@home.
As this card is a standard NVidia design, there's a good chance it won't have such problems as my Gigabyte GTX780Ti OC....

Any comment on you're phenomenal card's wattage usage for tasks, or temps?

It's awesome! :)
The Einstein@home app is CUDA3.2 - ancient in terms of GPU computing, as this version is released for the GTX 2xx series - so the data you've asked for is almost irrelevant, but here it is:
Ambient temperature: 24.8°C
Task: p2030.20140610.G63.60-00.95.S.b6s0g0.00000_3648_1 Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo, GPU) v1.39 (BRP4G-cuda32-nv301)
GPU temperature: 53°C
GPU usage: 91-92% (muhahaha)
GPU wattage: 90W (the difference between the idle GPU and the GPU in use, but the CPU is consuming a little to keep the GPU busy)
GPU clock: 1240MHz
GPU voltage: 1.218V
GPU power 55%

Integer task? 90 watts (91-92%) for 1024 cores at 3.2 CUDA API shows Maxwell(2) GM204 internal core structure enhancements. Other components will be under less "stress" from energy usage drop.
Percentage of taxes risen is off. Any efficiency updates help.

Running 24/7 for weeks/months/years at time-- 250TDP card or 175TDP? 50W-105W TDP GM204 wattage change compared to 225W/250W GK110? 145TDP for 1664 core GTX970. GTX980 TDP 30 watts away from a 6/8 core Haswell-E @140watts. (A few 6/8 core E5 Haswell Xeons are 85W) Having multiple cards- energy savings add up. Higher MB/PSU efficiency, included.

I think I know why we don't receive beta tasks.
The acemd.841-65.exe file is 3.969.024 bytes long, but the acemd.842-65.exe is only 1.112.576 bytes long, so something went wrong with the latter.

Zoltan - how many WU are You crunching at once at Einstein?

Zoltan - how many WU are You crunching at once at Einstein?

Only one.
Now I've changed my settings to run two simultaneously, but the power consumption haven't changed, only the GPU usage risen to 97%.

May I quote all this data at Einstein forum?

Sure.

The Einstein numbers look great. Congrats on the new card Zoltan!

What does Boinc say, about amount of (peak) FLOPS in event log for GTX980? Near 5TeraFLOPS? Over at Mersenne trial-factoring--- a GTX980 is listed @ 1,126GHz and 4,710 GFLOPS.

Could somebody running a Maxwell-aware version of BOINC check and report this, please, and do a sanity-check of whether BOINC's figure is correct from what you know of the card's SM count, cores per SM, shader clock, flops_per_clock etc. etc? We got the figures for the 'baby Maxwell' 750/Ti into BOINC on 24 February (3edb124ab4b16492d58ce5a6f6e40c2244c97ed6), but I think that was just too late to catch v7.2.42

We're in a similar position this time, with v7.4.22 at release-candidate stage - I'd say that one was safe to test with, if nobody here has upgraded yet. TIA.

No idea why the scheduler wasn't giving out the 842 beta app. Look out for 843 now.

no, that's deliberate. It's a Maxwell-only build

There's now a linux build on acemdbeta. You'll definitely be needing to use a Linux client that reports the right driver version.

I still could no get beta work.

I gave Folding@home a try, and the power consumption risen by 130W when I started folding on the GPU (GTX980) only. When I started folding on the CPU also, the power consumption went up by 68W (Core i7-870@3.2GHz, 7 threads).
GPU usage: 90-95%
GPU power 64-66%
GPU temperature: 56°C
GPU voltage: 1.218V
GPU core clock: 1240MHz

Thanks Zoltan! Those numbers are really encouraging and show GM204 power consumption to be approximately where we expected them to be. This is in stark contrast to the ~250 W THG has measured under "some GP-GPU load". Maybe it was FurMark? With these results we can rest assured that the cards won't draw more than their power target to run GPU-Grid.

And while we're at it: what about memory controller load? It should be comparably high at Einstein and will limit unbalanced cards badly. For reference:

GT640: 99% at Einstein, ~60% at GPU-Grid
GTX660Ti: ~60% at Einstein, ~40% at GPU-Grid

Edit: concerning the Einstein tasks. About 1740 s for Arecibo tasks is running 1 WU at a time (RAC -> 50k), whereas 2740 s was achieved running 2 of them concurrently (RAC -> 63k)?

GPU info in sched_request/(projects)file/ or slot init_data file. Also, client_state provides working size?

Time to replace my trusty GTX 460, which has been GPUGrid-ing for years! At ~£100 the GTX 750Ti fits my budget nicely but I need some guidance.

1. Is the power feed only from the mobo enough for 24/7 or should I go for one with a 6-pin connection?
2. One fan or two?
3. WHICH 750Ti do you recommend?

I installed a pair of 750Ti cards in my computer yesterday and tried to run GPUGRID. No go, instant fail within a couple seconds.

This quote is from January. I hope the problem has been fixed!

Something you didn't mention: If possible, get one that blows the hot air out of the case rather than blowing it around within the case. That should reduce the temperature for both the graphics board and the CPU, and therefore make both of them last longer.
