Did the load on the GPU go up any ?
The temp going up means it's doing something and I guess the fan speed increased as well. I presume both cards are running similar loads and temps ?
What hz is the core clocks running at ?
is it what they should be running at ?
I have a gtx 650 ( lying in a box just now )which wasn't that great, guess the TI version you have is a different beast :D

change
items_per_kernel to 20
change
threads=8 to threads=9

that should surely increase the load on the card.

My 660ti's do a unit in 20 odd mins so mid 30's is not bad but we should be able to get an increase. I would like to see the load up to mid 90's and then we can go backwards to a comfortable load that isn't to hot.

Performance

NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti BOOST

768 CUDA Core
1072 MHz Base Clock
1137 MHz Boost Clock
68.6GT/s Texture Fill Rate
Memory
2048 MB, 192 bit GDDR5
6008 MHz (effective)

I presume this is the card. Lots better than a gtx650.
Are they both running at @1100MHz ?
I note these cards are 140 watts each, what power supply do you have ? i would think at least 500 W or the cards wont be happy and be down clocking.

Load is in the 90s, so I think I'm doing as well as I can. :(
Cards are synced and tracking.
Core clocks at 1175-1200, which is in the expected range.

Looks like we're as done as my EVGAs will let us get with normal parameters.

Thanks for all your patience and assistance!
:D

You are more than welcome.
Probably increased by 20-30% which is what you could expect with your cards and the fact that the app is pretty good anyway unless you are running it on very high powered cards like the 7970. Doesn't sound that much but it will add up over time. Just keep an eye on the temp. You know what to do now if you want to try and go further.
Glad I was able to help you out.

Anything else then post up and either I or someone else will try to help.

i can't help but notice that my credits do not show up on Temujin's BOINC project stats. I am guessing that is because I de-selected collatz and mini-collatz and selected only collatz solo, per advice on one of the sites referenced earlier. Was this a good strategy, or should I select another combo or all three? (I did check 'use other tasks', which produces mini-collatz WUs but not collatz WUs for my CPU, which I find somewhat curious.)

Nothing to do with not selecting all projects. Check in your collatz account that the tasks are being credited and not being marked invalid or something. Sometimes it just takes a bit. I have noticed on collatz that you sometimes only get a little or no credit for a few hours and then you get the lot credited.

This is a new project for you ? Sometimes it takes a day or two before boincstats and temujins sites catch up. As long as you are being credited in your Collatz account then all will be well. :)

edit: scratch that, you show on temujins site but are not being credited, on boincstats you do not show at all as a member. Check in your account that you are still a member of TSBT. Everybody below where you were has moved up a place. I think you have accidentally left the team :shock:

State: All (201) · In progress (150) · Validation pending (4) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (45) · Invalid (0) · Error (2)
Application: All (201) · collatz (5) · mini_collatz (43) · solo_collatz (153)

They show up everywhere except Temujin's site, where my highlighted name on the collatz tab is red instead of green.

This has gone on for days now; it's not a temporary delay. I'm missing a million credits or so on his site (but not on BAM). The project is not even highlighted in the top table.

Judging by your stats something is working. :)

So, of course, never satisfied with success, I managed to bollix up my TSBT account by changing my e-mail address. :oops:

Thank Grid that Mega is working to fix my latest egregious error! :D
