[tictoc]

Here's a list of all the options that can be set in the config.  There are client options as well as individual slot options. 

F@H doesn't support manual edits of the config, but as long as you keep the formatting correct the config can be hand edited.  Sometimes it is more or less a requirement, since GPU slot assignment tends to get all messed up once you have more than 2 GPUs in a system, especially if you are mixing NVIDIA and AMD.   Some of the below options are either not valid or only supported on certain version of the F@H client.

*Edit* The below options can be set using FAHControl or by manually editing (not recommended) the config.

When will we start?  Do you need GPU and OS info in order to test the handicapping?

No, most of the flags can be used regardless of the OS.

Are you guys both on Linux?

[tictoc]

I'll be running a 2080S TBD AMD GPU in Linux, but I'm pretty sure @Avacado is running Windows.

Edited April 17, 2021 by tictoc

[Avacado]

Yes running Windows. Passkey added to one Tesla. PM sent @BWG

[tictoc]

Looks like I'll take the AMD category. @BWG I'll let you know later today or tomorrow what GPU I'll be folding on for testing. 

 

Should we run our gear at stock for testing, or are we pretty confident with the offsets for the handicapping?

Good thing, I don't own any AMD GPU's only AMD CPU's. I have never tweaked the Teslas, so I don't have any offsets to try yet. It will be stock. Caveat, I read you want them up for a month, thats fine, but I do get frequent power outages. 

[BWG]

You can run it as fast as you can. The adjustment is based on the PPD avg. published on LARS for the O/S you're using.

[BWG]

@tictocdid you figure out which GPU yet? Might give z a head start on loading the teams and adjusters for 2 teams, but sound like we will have 3 for the test.

You can go with a Radeon VII for the testing.  Not sure if that's what I'll stick with, but for now that will work.

Here's a list of all the options that can be set in the config.  There are client options as well as individual slot options. 

F@H doesn't support manual edits of the config, but as long as you keep the formatting correct the config can be hand edited.  Sometimes it is more or less a requirement, since GPU slot assignment tends to get all messed up once you have more than 2 GPUs in a system, especially if you are mixing NVIDIA and AMD.   Some of the below options are either not valid or only supported on certain version of the F@H client.

In addition to the various config options, there is also command line control for the client.  Generally that is what I use to control local clients and clients over ssh.  I have a bunch of commands aliased to things like pfold (pause) ffold (finish) and rfold (resume) for individual slots and for the whole client.  Here are the command line options for anyone who was unaware and/or interested.

 

FAHClient command line options:

I'll clean it up a bit, and verify which flags are still relevant/working before posting.

Hey @tictoc, while you're teaching @Avacadohow to flash his m40, you might want to request @axipherhave his Wife join to teach her how to not make the 1050ti rig go to sleep.

Oh, damn, I didn't know this was a bare knuckle fight, you just had to take the gloves off huh?  Filled up with all that pink peacocking on soon to be deleted stats are we?

These p177x units are a real ppd killer on AMD gear. 2M'ish average ppd down to 440k.

I've been running the advanced flag for some time, not that the 13446 is a great unit but at least it is consistent and not extremely low.
