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 =)

I don't think it's too low if you're talking about individual cards. If both combined give you 12k RAC then I guess the number hasn't settled in yet.
Edit: you could take a look at your daily update numbers here.

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

Computers are hidden on profile, if you unhide it might help provide a clue as to whats going on

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

Actually it is just one GTX280 ...

But, the two GTX295s may also play a part ... :)

(Sorry, only sense of humor I have) ...

Well, don't want to be rude.. but had you bothered to take a look at the daily update numbers of your account on the website which I linked to, you'd have seen that yesterday you earned 23551 credits and today you're up for 22310 credits. That should give you some hint ;)

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 :(!

Today you are at 13.5k RAC, whereas 2 days ago you were at 13.0k. Yes, you are doing something wrong: you are not giving it the time it needs to stabilize..

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 ?

You shouldn't have pending credits in GPU-Grid at all, as the credits are awarded almost instantaneously upon result report. But even if you have pending credits this is totally unrelated to RAC. Pending are the credits which you should get, but which have not been granted yet (e.g. still waiting for a wingman), whereas RAC is the Recent Average Credit.

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

Oh sorry, misread that.

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 ?

Well, overclocking improves speed, as long as you don't produce errors. In case of errors you obviously don't get credits.

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 :)
