Apparently my A2000 is too new. Won't fold. In Windows it just gets an error and says I can fold Beta GPUs for no points and sits with the slot disabled. Any of you guys run into this with a new card?

 

That can happen if GPUs.txt is missing or out dated.  However, if this is a new card, it may not be listed in GPUs.txt.  I would either post in the folding@home forums (https://foldingforum.org/) or ask on their discord (https://discord.gg/foldingathome).  I believe @BWG ran into this issue a few months ago with a newly released card and they had it fixed pretty quickly.

 

EDIT: If you decide to post on their forums, it looks like this is the correct sub-forum to post in:

Hard to beat Fired's response. What card did he get added?

BWG got a 3080ti a few days after they came out.  GPUs.txt needed to be updated before it would fold.

The A2000 is listed on the latest GPUS.txt.  https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt

Looks like it was added fairly recently, since it is not listed on the GPUS.txt on any of my machines.

 

@NBrock if it is not listed in your GPUS.txt, then you should replace your GPUS.txt with the latest.

Guys, some of us are going to help [H] in a week long event starting January 23rd, so you'll see a dip for a week. Why? Well, @firedflyhas been a wonderful help to us all here, and he's from [H], and although they were our former folding enemy, we really appreciate him. It's all for the same cause.

100% in on this, I even bought another motherboard so I can get all my cards online
Only thing is that one of the 3090's is gone for now, and I don't expect it to be back in time...

Sorry for the late response.  I followed the advice about reaching out on the F@H Discord. They added it this morning lol. She is folding away. looks like depending on WU so far estimated PPD is between 990k and 1.3 million. not bad for a 70 watt card lol.

toTOW to the rescue, he's almost always there to help

The ppd is good for 70W, and how are the temps?

Temp just sits at 70c with auto fan curve putting fan at about 42%. This current WU is getting an estimated 1.9million PPD. Project 17257 (2277, 1, 5)

Sounds like a good unit!

OMICRON CORONAVIRUS PROJECT

Simulations of the omicron variant of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Might want to select Covid as cause preference, maybe you'll get more of those

Seems like a good idea since our folders & families are getting hit with it lately. My whole house was finally hit over this past weekend, except my 23 yr. old, but he stays in his bubble. We're too Boomer for him.

Since I didn't kill my 3090 and I have extra resistors I am going to shunt mod the A2000 either tomorrow and Friday. 33% more power available should still be fine for the PCIE slot on the board since that should put it a tad over 90 watts based on the power I am seeing used.

Have a lot of points to make up since I was reluctant to switch teams. Had been holding that #3 spot on OCN for a while and was about to pass JPM.

You could join foldaholics in etf if you want to fold something 24/7?

I'll have to check it out. Right now I pretty much only have the 3090 in my main rig and the A2000. The 3090 sees some down time when I game.

 

I did notice on the 3090 where I had been bouncing off the power limiter even with the slider at 114% I am no longer having that issue on some of the more demanding WUs (since the shunt mod), like project 17257. It's cranking out an estimated PPD of 10342797 now (TPF is 52 seconds). This is in Windows 10 with my normal every day image.

10M ppd is just nuts.  How much power is it pulling on the more demanding WUs?

[NBrock]

It was bouncing around 100-109% power with the shunt mod. So over 400 watts lol. Luckily ambient temps are pretty low in my basement and I have the flow and rad space for it. Temps sit around 35c on that WU and around 30-31 for the lighter load ones.

I know I hit 10 mill on mine in Linux, but maybe I should try Windows to see where I'm at for you to compare to. I have one in a 16x 4.0 slot on a bench.
