Ugh, this was a Christmas gift too!

Thank you for the answer though.

Hey all,

So my new computer is not running GPU work at all. I have my old computer still connected though and I see work units. Is this because GPUGrid only allows one PC at as time or something else? I think something is not configured with my new AMD PC.

AuthenticAMD
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor [Family 23 Model 113 Stepping 0]
(16 processors) AMD AMD Radeon RX 5700 (8176MB) Microsoft Windows 10
Core x64 Edition, (10.00.19041.00)

When I run update project on my new AMD PC:
7/10/2020 11:43:03 AM | GPUGRID | update requested by user
7/10/2020 11:43:08 AM | GPUGRID | No tasks sent
7/10/2020 11:43:08 AM | GPUGRID | Project requested delay of 31 seconds

Preferences:
Use ATI GPU Enforced by version 6.10+ yes

Thanks for you time.

Dave

Greg,

Actually the computer IS in the bedroom and this room gets hot in the summer time as a result! The heat from the GPUGRID projects ran my EVGA 470 around 85C degrees on average. I had to run the air condidtioner in the living room, then run another floor fan by the hallway to push that cool air in. My summer electric bill is usually twice as much as the winter bill here in the Los Angeles area.

Also, the new EVGA 970SC is in and running at 73C using 86% GPU usage. That alone is awesome and I hear NO noise with the ACX cooler fan.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the overage GPU card usage percentages. I've been waiting to upgrade my EVGA 470 since last June but the new cards were delayed and even skipped a generation as you all know. Happy to say that my new EVGA 970 in arriving tomorrow! So amazing to see the difference in crunch times. After 14 years of crunching, I'm looking forward to a fresh card with my new computer.


Hmmm, should I keep the 470 in my computer as a second cruncher? The fan is a bit loud and it does use a lot of power... Feedback would be most welcome...

Hi All,


If you are interested in the increase in computational times, I've pasted my Nvidia 470 results below.

Hi GDF,

Yes, I've been receiving this error message as well exactly as stated above. Unfortunately the tech talk hurts my brain a bit. From what I'm reading, I do not need to do anything, since I'm only fetching GPU work units and not CPU WUs. Just in case please review my info:

Hi all,

Just posting my EVGA 470 numbers for you to review. I just started with this new card and already have done more crunching from the end of July to now then the past 10 years of the CPU to GPU evolution!
Note: I leave my computer on 24/7 but do surf the net and play video games as well. I upgraded from a Evga 260-216x added March 2009 'til July 2010 (see graph below).
