If you use HFM, go into Options\Preferences: Calculate PPD based on "Frame Times", and Calculate Bonus based on: "Download Time". Here is a screenshot from anubis: HFM Options

I just submitted one of each WU on my 7970. I am running the 13.10 betav2 drivers.

I had to drop my clocks a bit from the 1235Mhz I normally run, since I am on air now.

Once I get my clocks back up and stable I will submit another set of results.

I installed the 14.1 betav1.6 driver for the FaT, and the results are pretty impressive. 30,000+ PPD, on P8900, compared to the 13.11 betav9.2 that I was using for the last FaT.

All in all the driver ran OK for the FaT. Two bsods over the past 48 hours. If that gets ironed out the next driver release is going to be pretty impressive.

Before reading @anubis1127's post on the 14.1 drivers, I didn't think I would see another big performance increase, from a driver, on my now 2 year old 7970.

 

[tictoc]

I was running 14.1 beta v1.6 driver for the 170k. The driver wasn't very stable, and I had a few random BSODs.

I updated to the 14.2 beta v1.3 for the Red Vs. Green and this months FaT. With the 14.2 beta v1.3 PPD was the same; p9401 WUs at 170k PPD and the one p13000 WU that I ran at 171k PPD. I also never had any stability issues with the 14.2 beta v1.3 driver.

Added a P9101 to the dbase, since no one had submitted one of those units yet. Not a bad WU on my 7970, TPF 00:02:42, for 134k PPD.

I just started a P9408 WU, and I will add it to the dbase once it finishes up. With 9% of the WU completed, it is sitting at 129k PPD.

Thanks for the submission. P9408 doesn't seem to be a really good unit from what I've seen.

P9408 is fairly average, but the WU I am running right now is a little better @ 144k PPD. Definitely not as good as P9406 which was @ 166k PPD on my 7970.

 

[tictoc]

I had a p9201 WU that I was going to add to the Dbase, but it errored-out at 17% completion. Definitely the lowest PPD unit I have seen in awhile on my 7970. When it failed it was at 77k PPD.

 

[tictoc]

Just submitted one of the WUs from the batch that I ran to get the FFW Team BOINC account primed and ready for the FFW.

Would love to see more of those 10468 WUs. 200k PPD on my 7970.

 

[tictoc]

I just submitted a P9411, and it has to be the worst WU for my 7970. TPF of 7:35 with PPD of 119k.

 

[tictoc]

I just submitted a few core_21 WUs (p9704 and p9712). The p9704 WUs, are the best producing WUs that I have seen on my 7970. They range from 212k to 220k PPD. No other submissions for the p9712, but it has roughly the same PPD as p9201 on my 7970.

The reason i ask is because some of the screen shots I've seen of extremely high performance multiple GPU rigs don't have the CPU as a folding slot. I can only think of 2 reasons.

1) the idle cpu enhances the performance of folding on the GPUs
2) the measly points the CPU produces in comparison to to the GPU is not worth the wear and tear on the CPU.

Which is it? or am i missing something?

Generally if you are folding on multiple GPUs it is best to leave the CPU free to process the GPU WUs.

On NVIDIA GPUs it is necessary to have one core available for each GPU, and on AMD, while it is not a requirement, having a core free for the GPU is still a good idea. You can see the CPU usage spike as each WU reaches a checkpoint.

 

[tictoc]

In the slot settings you just need to change SMP from the default -1 to 6, and that will reserve 6 threads for your GPUs.

Tahiti/Pitcairn positively rip on OpenCL 1.2, which is natively found in Catalyst 14.6 RC2 & 14.9. I still run 14.6 RC2, as it squeezes out 4-5k more PPD compared to 14.9. All other Catalyst versions I've tested result in inferior output.

Thanks for that, I think I am still on 14.4, I will have to give it a go.

Interesting, I have been rolling with 14.9 on my 7970. I wasn't folding much back when 14.9 released, but it was the fastest and most stable driver for BOINC. I will have to give the 14.6 RC2 driver a spin.

I just submitted a few WUs for my R9 290. Definitely a bit of a WU lottery in the Team Compettion, with the large difference in PPD beween the various Projects.

P9704 - 342k PPD (looks to be a new high in Yield Factor for an AMD GPU)

P10495 - 260-280k PPD

*Edit* Sorry for the double entry. I went back to edit the TPF to the correct format, and it looks like it submitted it twice.

 

[tictoc]

A new high scoring WU for my 290

. I also submitted two advanced WUs (96xx), that look like they will be nice projects, once they move from advanced to production.

P11400 - 343,529 PPD

P9631 - 299,301 PPD

P9638 - 306,231 PPD

 

[tictoc]

A new high, a new low, and one right in the middle for my TC R9 290.

P11406 - 347,697 PPD

P9208 - 163,529 PPD

P9172 - 307,330 PPD

 

[tictoc]

WU history is only available in HFM or the logs in your [email protected] data folder.

 

[tictoc]

I know this thread has kind of died, but with the latest AMD drivers my R9 290 is really starting to shine.

p10494 - 438,914 ppd

 

[tictoc]

Awesome. I missed seeing what people were able to do with their GPUs.

I have a bunch of new WUs that aren't in the data base, so I will start adding them to the sheet.

 

[tictoc]

I just submitted round 1 of a bunch of projects that are not in the database. Here are the 2 ends of the spectrum on my R9 290:

GPU: R9 290 @ 1200/1450, Driver: 16.3.2

P9209 - 284,871 PPD

P9206 - 459,057 PPD

*Edit* @lanofsong I just realized that I entered all of my memory clocks wrong. I forgot that they were effective clocks, so they should be 5800 not 1450.
