What is with F@H GPU client ?

Edit: changed my rant....

Why do I put up with this ? Please somebody &%$&^$#@^%$(&^( arg !!!!!

OK, they just worked, for the first time in 2 days... Maybe they needed me to whine first !

I think Stanford's stats are only done every 3 hours... and they take nearly a full hour to complete these days. It's crap, and they know it, but their plans to improve stats ~4 months ago evaporated, so who knows.

Its back, but I lost 6 hours folding x 6 video cards = 9k point lost.(if my math is correct)

yea, restarted one of mine and it seemed to get a new unit. It's still in Beta. "If you desire stability, consider our 6.20 standard client."

I just added 2 more 9800GTX's. I have one more to put in but debating which box to stick it in.

Keep folding,

Servers were OOC for 3 or 4 hours early this morning.

It's like the US stock market.

Well, I don't know where stability comes into play, my boxes are fine, its Stanfords servers that were down, Mine all recovered on their own, once the Stanford server came back.

I agree with Mark.

In this case, GPU client stability is not the issue. The GPU clients will make a few quick checks for work, but if the servers don't respond, the attempts will get spaced farther apart. This helps to reduce the initial network/server load when the servers do come back on line.

When you re-start your clients, the check interval goes back to the quick checks and that can make it appear to have resolved the no work issue.
