Lost a folder

my 6 month old 780ti (250k ppd) refurb died. Since I am retiring soon, the farm has to get smaller anyway... sigh...

Sorry.

Bummer, but we all got to go sometime.

Congrats on the soon to be retirement though.

Lost a 780, now down to 2 !

Might be time to stop those remaining two, and clean the dust off.

Seriously though, you have been regularly checking to see if the fans are spinning, dust isn't accumulating, etc etc? I'm sure you have, but sometimes we let time slip past us more quickly than we realize.

Which reminds me...I last changed the oil in the push mower........uhm......Time for an oil change.

All the cards were clean, and temps were fine. I check that weekly

I have a folding at home question and thought this might be the best place to ask versus starting a new thread.

Question: How much system memory does F@H tend to use, and be sure to include how many CPU's/threads are in use if you would please.

Thanks.

Well, one other thing. Do the tasks get longer and longer and longer for new users? I recently dabbled in F@H again, and at first the CPU was 90min and GPU was 4hours, then a few tasks later the GPU was up to 8 hours (I think), with a corresponding increase in points. I didn't think to check memory usage then, silly me.

RIP 780

Hey Mark, could you check out my upgrade thread here?

Afraid I can't help, I haven't run F@H since Jan & can't remember how it behaved :$

The GPU WU I'm currently running is using about 128MB of system memory, but this will vary by WU, and of course will be different for CPU WU. The length of the units depends on what you are assigned.
