Hi Mikey,

Yes life is all about frivolities of one sort or another, but I don't ever forget you guys here. I am around for the long term, and will add a bit of crunching shortly :-))

Take care

Chris

Oh I stopped crunching here a while back, when I hit a billion credits. Now I am just here for the games!

Today it is the King of Swedens birthday.
We are more celebrating the last day of April. Valborg is the name in our calendar of the year. The funny name in Swedish is "Valborgmässoafton". A kind of translation could be "the evening when you celebrate Valborg" by lit fireworks, sing some songs welcoming the spring, make a speech to the spring and stuff like that. Just have a good time. Tomorrow it is the 1th of May and the winter should be gone, but you can never be quite sure, there have been setbacks before. Happy "Valborgmässoafton" everyone. By the way WINNING!

I hope it comes true this year!!!
Have you been watching tv lately and the series the 'Vikings'? They mention Valborg, I think, and alot of other names from Viking times, It is NOT a historical show, it is about a group of people growing up in the time of the Vikings and how they go around plundering and how it and everything else affects their daily lives, including how they interact with their King and other groups. It is NOT for children and DOES have violence in it, for instance a couple of weeks ago they described what a 'blood eagle' was, how to do it and what it meant.

Hi,

I am new in this project (crunch with Nvidia).
It seems that a great difference of credit for such a small difference in Gpu/Cpu time is "crazy".
Each GPU card work on the same project ! So same credit !

for example (0.2 cpu + 1 gpu)
run time 2072
cpu time 1050
credit : 256

No it's all got to do with how WELL it works, not THAT it works. If I put you and a 2 year old in the same room you both might be able to stack some blocks, but you of course would do it MUCH better and faster, therefore you would get many more cookies for it. When a project starts it chooses to either make itself work with Nvidia cards or AMD cards as the programming is MUCH different for each. It usually depends on the resources of the person or group running the project and who they know and what the programmer is most familiar with. Then when one kind is working they kind of 'port' the programming over to the other kind, meaning it will work but we are back to my example of you and the 2 year old. Some projects are lucky and big enough to have access to programmers who know both kinds of gpu's and then both kinds work very well. But that is FAR from the norm in my experience.

For instance at Einstein I can take my AMD 7970, a near state of the art gpu, and run a gpu unit but it is taking me over 6 hours to finish a single unit. My Nvidia 560Ti, a 5 or more year old gpu, can do the same unit in about 2.5 hours. The project favors Nvidia cards but does work with AMD cards.

I have bought a new graphic card Radeon ATI R9 270X. I have it for test only so I can return it to the shop. No application accepts this card

Maybe it is not good enough for MOO and Einstein.

Anybody knews anything about this card?
Any help appreciated.

The new R series cards are slightly crippled for crunching they need an APP file to crunch:

Mikey,
I´m stupid I did not mention that I´m still running OS XP 32bit. I guess I need to go to at least W7.

ORRR you could try dropping back to an older driver that XP still supports and see if that will work for you. This page shows that you need to be no later then 12.3 I think.

IF you decide to do this make sure you also download the uninstaller from AMD and run it first.

The option of upgrading to Win7 is of course a better choice, to me, in the long run.
