crunching on a 7750

Hi,
I am crunching 2 WU at a time on an AMD 7750 1GB(stock settings). It takes about 3 hours per unit with a utilization of 80% on the GPU. With only 1 unit I would get around 60% utilization. CPU load is around 15% per work unit (AthlonII X2 ). Just thought I post my results with the new OpenCL client.
Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback.
Well, 1.5h effective crunching time per WU isn't too shabby for a card that (IIRC) consumes less than 75W.
Happy crunching

My i7-2600 host has 2 EAH 5870 GPUs, now used at SETI and MW, both working OK,
after some tuning, cmd-line settings for SETI MB and AstroPulse.
Running WIN 7 64bit and BOINC 7.0.25 (64bit), but I read 7.0.27, is needed?
And if S(ingle)P(recision) is used, I have a host with a
NVidia GTX480 and can add a ATI 5770.

Now that i have got some `other` problems sorted on this pc,
for comparison here is a work unit from my 7970 at factory settings.
One wu at a time,
GPU use was about 40%
Cpu, P4 (skt775 prescot660ht) 30% < 40%
Run time 50 min (2923 second)

Indeed. 7.0.27 (as of today, please recheck when reading this message later :-) :-) is still a development version, but we are expecting an official version >= 7.0.28 real soon (TM).
it is
The ATI 5770 should do a task in (very roughly) 2 hours IIRC.

Now running a HD 7770 and an i3 2120T (Max TDP 35W), and switched to windows7 x64 vs. Vista x64. I notice even between W7 and Vista, is W7 is more efficient at feeding the GPU, gpu load went from 84% to 96%. System is now cruching 2x units in 2:20 or so.

Hi everybody,
I recently installed AMD 7750 1GB in my 3 core Phenom 7450 system. http://einsteinathome.org/host/5517686
I had some problems with CAL XP version, so I installed Linux Mint (Ubuntu flavor) on it and new BOINC client with stock settings and no changes to default configuration. So I have no idea what is GPU utilisation. So it runs 3 CPU WU and 1 GPU WU at a time. CPU is busy - vmstat shows 99%, top shows about 90% per WU. It takes about 3 hours to finish GPU WU.
Apparently I need to figure out how to run more than one GPU WU. If anybody can help me with a link to proper info I'd be very happy.
Thanks

To do this, you can go here ==> http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/prefs.php?subset=project and then edit the setting that is marked with the big red "Dangerous": 0.5 means two tasks per GPU , 0.33 three and so on. Note there is a setting for each "venue" configurable in BOINC.
We put in the "Dangerous" remark after we received a report from a volunteer who had a PC with an aparently under-sized power supply. After using this feature, the card would draw more power which pushed the PC "over the top". If your PC has a good power supply and adequate cooling to keep up with the graphics card(s) running close to full load, you should be fine using this feature.

Thanks for the help.
Finally I did it :) I changed GPU tasks amount to 2 (value is 0.5)
Although it is a bit weird. Before the change I had 3 CPU tasks (3 core AMD @2100 MHz) and 1 GPU task. Now I have 2 GPU tasks and 2 CPU tasks. But. The power consumption is same 150 Watts. I run Linux, so I have no such a precise GPU measurement tools - only old school power meter. CPU Time per task increased from ~1300 sec to ~1800 sec while Run Time increased from ~7600 sec to ~7800 sec. Real world time is about 2 hours to 2 hours 10 mins. Will see my new daily numbers...

Older quote, but not quite dead thread: I have a 1GB 5770 in a 1,1 Mac Pro running dual 5150 2.66GHz 2-core processors (total 4 cores), and it can do two concurrent tasks at 75% CPU utilization in about 1 hour 50 minutes each when it's happy. Trying to make it run 3 concurrent tasks makes the card very unhappy.
