F@H Project 6811 is brutal on GPUs

Did you keep the same WUs?

Fingers crossed for you.

Yeah, same project (11179) but different WU.

It looks like the -local switch is obselete with v6.xx clients. This wiki describes all the console client switches.

EDIT: Corrected the link 🙂

That's the URL of this thread! 😀

I pulled out the first (apparently working) GTX 460 and swapped my monitor to the one with issues. Passed MemtestCL with no errors. Ran f@h again and went well for about 1 minute then had a total system hang/lockup (not just laggy like before) and black screen. Num lock stopped working, and it somehow brought down the ethernet to the whole house and set my router's DNS IP to 0.0.0.0 LOL! Will swap back to the other card and try again, if that one works okay we know we have a dodgy GPU. Whether it's RMA-able is another question...

Edit: Thought I'd update you all - I swapped back to the other GTX460 and it isn't having any problems at all with the same WU and same settings etc.
Must be a bad/damaged GPU. Not sure what to do about it now. I bought it from the states and I'm in the UK :| is "not folding" even RMA-able? Or will I have to prove it can't play games as well? Does Crysis count? 😛

I would think that "Not Folding" is a reason for RMA. CUDA is an Nvidia-advertised feature of these cards, and F@H is simply a CUDA app.

Sorry! It's correct now! 🙂

That's a bummer about the GTX460🙁 Anyway to flash the bios on the card just in case that's the problem?
