	There's a rumor going around that Maxwell is coming out next month. I wonder if this was planned of if AMD's sales are hurting them?

	It looks more like a delaying action to hold off AMD until the 20 nm process arrives, probably later than they had originally hoped. A GTX 750 Ti won't set the world on fire in performance, and won't make them a ton of money. But it gives them a chance to see how well the design works in practice, and to give the software developers a head start before the real Maxwell arrives.

	It likely is just a false rumor. No prove has been shown that these cards use Maxwell chips, despite relatively complete benchmarks already appeared. It's probably just GK106 with 768 shaders. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	Producing a Maxwell on 28nm process would be a complete change of direction for NVidia, so I agree this is likely to be a false rumor. There are two revision models (Rev. 2) of GPU's in the GF600 lineup (GT630 and GT640), so perhaps NVidia want to fill out their GF700 range with a lower end card, so if there is a Rev2 version of the GK650Ti en route, it makes more sense to shift it to the GF700 range. The idea of constructing a Maxwell on 28n, does make a lot of sense however; GM could be tested directly against GK, and they could produce more competitive entry to mid-range cards earlier. Small cards are the largest part of the GPU market so why produce a big, immature card first? As GM's will have a built in CPU (of sorts) it would be better to test these (and their usefulness / scalability) on smaller cards first - no point producing a fat GM which has a insufficient CPU to support it. I've always wondered why they produced the larger cards first. It's just been a flag waving exercise IMO. While that might be marketable, it makes no sense when dealing with the savvy buyer and other businesses (OEM's), especially for supercomputers. NVidia could also have produced GF cards at 28nm, and they would have had a market. Perhaps they did; just for engineering, design and testing purposes and managed to keep these chips completely in-house. While such designs might have been/will be marketable, from a business point of view they would primarily be competing against other NVidia products - probably a bad thing - better to focus your developmental skill set on one controllable futuristic objective rather than tweaking. The eventual 40% reduction in die size will probably facilitate cooler GPU's. In the main, GK temperatures are significantly less of an issue than GF temps, but for several high end cards in one system it's still a problem. So while NVidia doesn't have temperature licked now, it should fall into place at 20nm. In the mean time, entry to mid-range 28nm cards are easy to produce and easy to cool. 28nm Maxwell's might be easier to work with now and for early 20nm products. When moving to 20nm, yields will inevitably be low (always are) so it would make sense to start at the small end where you are actually going to get enough sample to test with and enough product to release. The lesser bins tend to go to OEM anyway, so it might be better to start there and get a product out which will compete with AMD and Intel's integrated GPU processors ASAP. Lets face it, this is where the competition is highest and NVidia is weakest. So the first 28nm Maxwell's could well be for laptops and other mobile devices. ARM can already be used to support an OS, so IMO it's inevitable that ARM will bolster their CPU with an NVidia GPU. That's what the market really wants; sufficient CPU processing power to start up and run an OS and a high end GPU for the video-interface, gaming... isn't it? ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

That's what the market really wants; sufficient CPU processing power to start up and run an OS and a high end GPU for the video-interface, gaming... isn't it? I guess a fairly large part of the market wants that. I would be happy with a motherboard with a BIOS that can boot from PXE, no SuperIO (USB, RS-232, parallel port, PS/2), ISC bus for onboard temperature sensors, no IDE or SATA (no disks), just lots of RAM, an RJ-45 connector and gigabit ethernet, no wifi, enough CPU processing power to startup and run a minimal OS that has a good terminal, SSH and can run BOINC client and project apps. Don't need a desktop or anything to do with a GUI, no TWAIN or printer drivers/daemons, no PnP or printer service, no extra fonts (just a decent terminal and 1 font), network services required, Python or some other scripting language would be nice but not much more. If they could fit all that onto a slightly larger video card I'd be happy, otherwise put it on a 2" x 5" board with a PCIe slot and power connectors and call it a cruncher. Something so no frills IKEA would consider stocking it. What else would be unnecessary... no RTC (get the time off the LAN), no sound, no disk activity LED. ____________ BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters

	Seems like the cat is out of the bag.. and we were all wrong, as usual for a new generation ;) It's still not official, but far more solid than any rumors before this: - at least 1, probably 2 small chips in 28 nm soon - the bigger ones later in 20 nm - architectural efficiency improvements - much larger L2 cache - the compute to texture ratio increases from 12:1 to 16:1 (like AMDs) - the SMX goes down to 128 shaders (192 in Kepler) -> that could mean they're going back to non-superscalar (i.e. just scalar) If the latter is true this could mean significant per-clock per shader performance improvements here and in many other BOINC projects :) MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	Sounds like a big performance per watt increase will be coming too. I think I'll put planned purchases on hold, build savings and see what the picture looks like 4 months from now. ____________ BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters

	For GPUGrid, performance touting is premature - we don't even know if it will work with the current app. It could take 6 months of development and debugging. It took ages before the Titan's worked. As the GTX750Ti will only have 640 Cuda Cores, the 128bit bus probably won't be an issue. The Cuda core to bus lane ratio is about the same as a GTX670. However, the 670 is super-scalar and the GTX480 had 384lanes. Suggesting a 60W GTX750Ti will be slightly faster than a GTX480 still sounds unrealistic, but assuming the non-super-scalar Cuda cores aren't 'semi-skimmed' it might be powerful enough. I suspect they will not be 'full fat' in the way GF110 was, and there could be additional bottlenecks, driver bugs... So it's wait and see. Having 6power pins means the GTX750Ti could be powered directly from the PSU, rather than through the motherboard. This is good if you want to use this card on a Riser in say a 3rd slot (which might not actually be capable of supplying 75W). Avoid cards with small fans - they don't last. I still say 'stay clear of the GTX750' if it's only got 1GB GDDR5. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	I still feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Haswell e will have an 8 core variant in q3. So this is definitely going to be bought. However, I would like this to be my last system build for more than a year, as pumping 5k annually is something I can not continue. Every other year, sure. But with Volta and it's stacked dram.... I'm very cautious about dropping 1.8k+ on gpus that most likely won't be that large of a change. Well see I suppose

	But with Volta and it's stacked dram.... I'm very cautious about dropping 1.8k+ on gpus that most likely won't be that large of a change. Well see I suppose Volta will still take some time, as GPUs have matured quite a bit (compared to the wild early days of a new chip every 6 months!) and progress is generally slower. That's actually not so bad, because we can keep GPUs longer and the software guys have some time to actually think about using those beasts properly. If you still have Fermis or older running, get rid of them as long as you can still find (casual) gamers willing to pay something for them. If you think about upgrading from Kepler to Maxwell and don't want to spend too much I propose the following: replace 2 Keplers by 1 Maxwell for about the same throughput, which should hopefully be possible with 20 nm and the architectural improvements. This way you don't have to spend as much and reduce power usage significantly (further savings). You throughput won't increase, but so what? If you feel like spending again you could always add another GPU. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	There is no ARM CPU on the block diagram of the GM107: After reading the article it seems to me that this is only a half step towards the new generation: it has better performance/watt ratio because of the evolution of the 28nm process and because of the architectural changes (probably these two aspects are bound together: this architecture can achieve higher CUDA core/chip area ratio than the GK architecture). As its performance is expected to be like the GTX480's performance, perhaps there is no need for an on-chip CPU to fully utilize this GPU. Also, it's possible that there is no need for big changes in the GPUGrid application to work with this GPU.

	I would be a bit concerned about the 1306GFlops rating for the GTX750Ti. That's actually below the GTX650Ti (1420). The 750Ti also has a 128bit bus and bandwidth of 86.4GB/s. While the theoretical GFLOPS/W SP is 21.8, it's still an entry level card; it would talk 4 of these card to have the overall performance of a GTX780Ti. There should be plenty of OC models and potential for these GPU's to boost further. There may also be a 1GB version of the GTX750Ti (avoid). My confusion over ARM came from fudge reports which presumed Maxwell and ARM are joined at the hip. Just because Tesla's might get an ARM this decade does not mean any other card will. It hasn't even been announced that Maxwell based Tesla's will - just interpreted that way. The use of ARM doesn't require Maxwell architecture; the Tegra K1 is based on Kepler and uses a Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A15 R3, and previous Tegra's also used ARM. It is the case that NVidia want to do more on the discrete GPU and be less reliant on the underlying system but that doesn't in itself require an ARM processor. The only really interesting change is that the Shader Model is 5.0 - so it's CC5.0. This non-super-scalar architecture probably helped throw people into thinking that these GPU's would come with ARM processors, but when you think about it, there is no sense putting a discrete processor onto an entry level GPU. A potential obstacle to the use of ARM might be Windows licences, as these typically limit your software use to 2CPU's (makes a second card a no-no). ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	I see EVGA are selling a GTX750Ti with a 1268MHz Boost. In theory that's 16.8% faster than the reference model, though I would expect the reference card to boost higher than the quoted 1085MHz (if it works)! ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	I read that the 128bit bus is a bottleneck, but as the card uses 6GHz GDDR5 a 10% OC is a given. The GPU also OC's well (as the temps are low). So these cards could be tweeked to be significantly more competitive than the reference model. Compute is a bit mixed going by Anandtech, so its wait and see about the performance (if they work), http://anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell/22 ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	Don't be fooled by the comparably low maximum Flops. We got many of those with Kepler, and complained initially that we couldn't make proper use of them, as the performance per shader per clock was significantly below non-superscalar Fermis. Now we're going non-superscalar again and gain some efficiency through that, as well as through other tweaks. And this show in the compute benchmarks at Anandtech: GTX750Ti beats GTX650Ti easily and consistently, often hangs with GTX650Ti Boost and GTX660 and sometimes performs more than twice as fast as GTX660! Neither of those benchmarks is GPU-Grid, but this bodes well for Maxwell here, since GPU-Grid never really liked the super-scalarity all that much. Let's wait for Matt's test.. but I expect Maxwell to do pretty well. The 128 bit memory bus on GM107 is somewhat limiting, but mitigated by the far larger L2 cache. To what extend for GPU-Grid.. I don't know. And those chips seem to clock ridiculously high. I've seen up to almost 1.3 GHz at stock voltage (1.13 - 1.17 V). If wish the testers had lowered the voltage to see what the chips really can do, instead of being limited by the software sliders. The bigger chips naturally won't clock as well, but 20 nm should shake things up anyway. Bottom line: don't rush to buy those cards, since they're only mainstream models after all. But don't buy any other cards for GPU-Grid until we know how good Maxwell really is over here. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	The GPU memory latency is supposedly better, so the GTX750Ti's memory bandwidth bottleneck might not be as bad as I first suspected. That said, compute performances are a bit 'all over the place'. It's definitely a wait and see situation for here. My concerns for these cards are first and foremost compatibility; will it work straight out of the box, will an app revamp be required, will we have to wait on drivers or might they never be compatible (time, money and effort developing for an entry level GPU might well be better spent elsewhere). If the apps work the memory bandwidth may or may not be an issue, but the performance/Watt should be very good nonetheless. Some of the Folding benchmarks are promising, so if they are not up to much for here they are good for there (SP), and possibly a Boinc project or two. I get the distinct feeling that the 20nm Maxwell cards will bring exceptional performances for here, when they turn up. They won't all have memory bottlenecks, and performance/Watt is likely to be much better than with the 28nm versions (which are already great). I think it's really a good time to watch this space, and start to think about and prepare for future purchases; sell on existing hardware when the value is still good! ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	NVidia are comparing the GTX750Ti to a 3 generation old GTX480 for performance and a GT640 for power usage, but not a GTX650Ti! For some games its roughly equal to a GTX480 and in terms of performance/Watt the GTX750Ti is 1.7times better than a GT640 (and similar). While it is a GX107 product, the name suggests its an upgrade to a GTX650Ti. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	Thanks. That is important information to share! Both long and short run tasks are failing. All present task types are failing. Tasks fail quickly, 0 to 4sec. This strongly suggests that the present app would need to be modified to support these GPU's. It's likely that the different architecture is the reason for GPUGrid failures (non-super-scalar...) and running CUDA 5.5apps.

	I bought these cards to run GPUGRID and I'm not to happy that they can't. Well, it's a new architecture (or more precisely: significantly tweaked and rebalanced) so some "unexpected problems" can almost be expected. Be a bit patient, I'm sure this can be fixed. Maxwell is the new architecture for all upcoming nVidia chips in the next 1 - 2 years, after all. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	I bought these cards to run GPUGRID and I'm not to happy that they can't. Don't worry, support is coming just as soon as possible. These new cards are very exciting for us! Unfortunately, because of the way we build our application, we need to wait for the next version of CUDA which contains explicit Maxwell support. The other GPU-using projects don't have this limitation because they build their applications in a different way. The other side of that is that they aren't able to make GPU-specific optimisations the way we do. Matt

Unfortunately, because of the way we build our application, we need to wait for the next version of CUDA which contains explicit Maxwell support. I hope Nvidia comes out with the new version of CUDA soon. I expect GPUs that use much less electricity will become very popular quickly. I'll be switching back to GPUGRID when you get the Maxwell compatible client out.

	The new Haswell E 6-core is available in the Netherlands, but pricy. Any idea when the real Maxwell is launched. I read "soon" on the net in some articles, but did not find any date. Rumor has it- GTX980 (or whatever board will be called) will be showcased (or released) at NVidia's Game24 event on September 18th, along with a 343 branch driver. GTX 970/960 could be released by early/mid October. Leaked benchmarks (if there not fake) show GM204 Maxwell to be at reference GTX780ti (5teraFlops) performance levels with a lower TDP. Maxwell's Integer/256AES/TMU/ROP performance is higher then Kelper's core. GTX 980 will have 256bit memory interface. Float (double/single) will be similar to a disabled DP core GK110 (GTX780/780ti) cards. A Titan with 64DP core SMX enabled for double precision tasks won't be replaced until another Maxwell stack is created for Titan's market position. A dual Maxwell board with 11/12 single teraflops' and 3/4 Teraflops for double would be an ultimate board.

	Thanks for this Jozef J. No hurry for me now to build a new rig as this is still not the "real" Maxwell with the 20nm chip. Despite more energy used the 780Ti is still the best card to my opinion. PS: I have a factory overclocked EVGA 780Ti and runs at 1137MHz. ____________ Greetings from TJ

	So here is deciding which card would be best for GPUgrid Boost clock for gtx 980 looks very good, even the 64 ROPS.. But 780Ti have 2880 cuda cores...? The GTX 780Ti is superscalar, so not all of the 2880 CUDA cores can be utilized by the GPUGrid client. The actual number of the utilized CUDA cores of the GTX 780Ti is somewhere between 1920 and 2880 (most likely near the lower end). This could be different for each workunit batch. If they really manufacture the GM204 on 28nm lithography, than this is only a half step towards a new GPU generation. The performance per power ratio will be slightly better of the new GPUs, and (if the data in this chart are correct) I expect the GTX980 could be 15~25% faster than the GTX780Ti (here at GPUGrid). When we'll have the real GPUGrid performance of the GTX980, we'll know how much of the 2880 CUDA cores of the GTX780Ti is actually utilized by the GPUGrid client. But as NVidia choose to move back to scalar architecture, I expect that the superscalar architecture of the Keplers (and the later Fermis) wasn't as successful as expected.

But as NVidia choose to move back to scalar architecture, I expect that the superscalar architecture of the Keplers (and the later Fermis) wasn't as successful as expected. Is NVidia skipping 20nm for 16nm? After couple years of development, TSMC is struggling badly to find proper Die size(s) for 20nm. Nvidia changes lithography every two years or so. Now after Two and half years, boards are still at 28nm, after three series releases(600,700,800m) of 28nm generations, while GTX980 will be the fourth 28nm released. What could be the problem with finding a pattern to fit cores on 20nm? The change from superscalar to scalar? How does a 5 SMM, 640core/40TMU/60W-TDP GTX750ti perform (7%~) better than a 4SMX, 768 core/ 110/130W-TDP Kelper with more TMU(64), while smashing GTX650ti/boost compute time/power consumption ratios? Core/memory speed differences'? GTX 750ti is close (~5%) to GTX660 (5SMX/960Core/140w-TDP) compute times. Is Maxwell's cache sub system architecture, TMU rendering that much better than Kelper's, running GPUGRID code? Maxwell's core architecture may be more efficient than Kepler's, but is Maxwell's really more advanced, when Float processing is similar to Kelper? Maxwell Integer performance is higher, due to having more integer cores in SMM vs. SMX, and the added barrel shifter, which is missing in Kepler.

These programs are capable of monitoring Bus usage, memory control (frame buffer), Video processing, amount of power, and much more.

The "GPU utilization" is not equivalent of the "CUDA cores utilization". These monitoring utilities are right in showing that high GPU utilization, as they showing the utilization of the untis which feeding the CUDA cores with work. I think the actual CUDA cores utilization can't be monitored.

	I estimate that the new GM204 will be about 45% faster than a 780ti. That's a bit optimistic estimation as (1216/928)(16/15)=1.3977. but... 1. my GTX780Ti is always boosting to 1098MHz, 2. the 1219MHz boost clock seems to be a bit high, as the GTX750Ti's boost clock is only 1085MHz, and it's a lesser chip. We'll see it soon. BTW there's an error in the chart, as the GTX780Ti has 15192 CUDA cores.

The Metro series Redux games utilize this tech with Kepler and above generations. (Even X-box/PS4 ports) GM204 technical advances compared to Kelper is rather striking. Fermi 480/580 compared to 680: GPU-GRID performance jump won't be nearly the GTX980 jump compared to GTX 680. Filtering and sorting performance for images, or to create programs with atoms and DNA/RNA strands- are higher than Kelper. Maxwell also has more internal memory bandwidth, and Third generation Color Compression enhancements offers more ROP performance, with better Cache latency. A single GM204 CUDA core is 25-40% faster compared to a single CUDA core Gk104, from the added atomic memory enhancements, and more registers for a thread. For Gaming: a GTX 980 is equal to [2]GTX 680. In every area GP(GPU) performance jump from GK104 to GM204 is significant. GK110 only now offers higher TMU performance, but without new type of filtering offer by GM204, unless Nvidia offers this for the Kelper Generation. GK110 has higher Double precision. A full fat Maxwell (?20nm/16nm FinFET ?/250W/3072~CUDA cores)that offers 1/3 SP/DP core ratio like GK110 is going to be a card for the ages. (Will first be a Tesla, Quadro, Titan variant?) Maybe AMD will come out with board shortly to challenge GM204 with a similar power consumption. Continuous performance competition should raise standards for each company. These next few years are key. GM204 replaces the GK104 stack, not GK110 [GTX 780](ti)disabled 64DP core SMX stack.(Driver allows 8 be active in SMX) GM204 per nm transistor density is only few percent more than GK104 (3.54B transistors/294mm2) and (7.1B transistors/551mm2) for GK110. Kepler's GK110 (4500-6000GFLOPS Desktop card are near [Single]20GFOLPS/W, while GK104 (2500-3500GFLOPS) is 15-18GFLOPS/W depending on clock speeds and voltage. Maxwell GM107(1400~FLOPS) is 20-23GFLOPS/W. Maxwell GM204(5000~FLOPS) is 30-35GFLOPS/W, depending on voltage and GDDR5/CORE speeds. GK104 highest rated mobile (GTX880m/2900~FLOPS) card is 27-29GFLOPS/W. GM204 compute time/ power usage ratios with a new app will be world class compared to more power hungry cards. Crunchers whose States/Countries higher taxes rates for power bills- a GTX970/980 is top notch choice.

	Time to replace my trusty GTX 460, which has been GPUGrid-ing for years! At ~£100 the GTX 750Ti fits my budget nicely but I need some guidance. 1. Is the power feed only from the mobo enough for 24/7 or should I go for one with a 6-pin connection? 2. One fan or two? 3. WHICH 750Ti do you recommend? I installed a pair of 750Ti cards in my computer yesterday and tried to run GPUGRID. No go, instant fail within a couple seconds. This quote is from January. I hope the problem has been fixed!

I think Nvidia GPU performance on F@H generally translates to GPUGrid. Besides, I usually spend the month of December folding, so the GTX980 will be a nice companion to my 780Ti.

	Right. The new 65 app is failing for non-obvious reasons, so I've moved it to the acemdbeta queue. If you have a GTX9x0, please get some work from that queue.

	I have GTX970 and checked at "Run test applications?" and "ACEMD beta", but BOINC says "No tasks are available for ACEMD beta version". Is there something I need to do in order to get beta tasks?

	I have GTX970 and checked at "Run test applications?" and "ACEMD beta", but BOINC says "No tasks are available for ACEMD beta version". Is there something I need to do in order to get beta tasks? On the GPUGRID preference page, about in the middle is a option called: Run test applications? You have to set it to yes as well. But perhaps you did then sorry about this post. ____________ Greetings from TJ

	Thanks Zoltan! Those numbers are really encouraging and show GM204 power consumption to be approximately where we expected them to be. This is in stark contrast to the ~250 W THG has measured under "some GP-GPU load". Maybe it was FurMark? With these results we can rest assured that the cards won't draw more than their power target to run GPU-Grid. And while we're at it: what about memory controller load? It should be comparably high at Einstein and will limit unbalanced cards badly. For reference: GT640: 99% at Einstein, ~60% at GPU-Grid GTX660Ti: ~60% at Einstein, ~40% at GPU-Grid Edit: concerning the Einstein tasks. About 1740 s for Arecibo tasks is running 1 WU at a time (RAC -> 50k), whereas 2740 s was achieved running 2 of them concurrently (RAC -> 63k)?

	Time to replace my trusty GTX 460, which has been GPUGrid-ing for years! At ~£100 the GTX 750Ti fits my budget nicely but I need some guidance. 1. Is the power feed only from the mobo enough for 24/7 or should I go for one with a 6-pin connection? 2. One fan or two? 3. WHICH 750Ti do you recommend? I installed a pair of 750Ti cards in my computer yesterday and tried to run GPUGRID. No go, instant fail within a couple seconds. This quote is from January. I hope the problem has been fixed! Something you didn't mention: If possible, get one that blows the hot air out of the case rather than blowing it around within the case. That should reduce the temperature for both the graphics board and the CPU, and therefore make both of them last longer.

	Something I'm having trouble finding: How well do the new cards using PCIE3 work if the motherboard has only PCIE2 sockets? We'll find out when there will be a working GPUGrid app, as I will move my GTX 980 to another host wich has PCIe3.

	What does Boinc say, about amount of (peak) FLOPS in event log for GTX980? Near 5TeraFLOPS? Over at Mersenne trial-factoring--- a GTX980 is listed @ 1,126GHz and 4,710 GFLOPS. Could somebody running a Maxwell-aware version of BOINC check and report this, please, and do a sanity-check of whether BOINC's figure is correct from what you know of the card's SM count, cores per SM, shader clock, flops_per_clock etc. etc? We got the figures for the 'baby Maxwell' 750/Ti into BOINC on 24 February (3edb124ab4b16492d58ce5a6f6e40c2244c97ed6), but I think that was just too late to catch v7.2.42 We're in a similar position this time, with v7.4.22 at release-candidate stage - I'd say that one was safe to test with, if nobody here has upgraded yet. TIA.

Those Wus generally run hot and use very little CPU as you've noticed. They are fixed credit WUs so PPD is low. Core 17 WUs are more efficient since they use a more recent version of openMM and are distributed to both windows and linux via an OpenCL app. They generally use 100% of a core on machines with an Nvidia card. These WUs offer a quick return bonus (QRB) and are very popular because the faster the card the higher the bonus. My GTX980 has finished several 9201 project (core17) WUs and is averaging 330,000 ppd. Amazing. Linux users have an advantage in that only core 17 WUs are delivered to linux machines. There are core 18 WUs now available to windows users. I don't know anything about them yet.

	The acemd.841-65.exe file is 3.969.024 bytes long, but the acemd.842-65.exe is only 1.112.576 bytes long, so something went wrong with the latter. no, that's deliberate. It's a Maxwell-only build I've made my BOINC manager to start this acemd.842-65.exe as an acemd.841-60.exe by overwriting the latter and setting <dont_check_file_sizes> in the cc_config.xml, and I've modified the client_state.xml to copy the cudart32_65.dll and the cufft32_65.dll to the slot with the app, but I've got the same result as before with the 841-65 client. #SWAN: FATAL: cannot find image for module [.nonbonded.cu.] for device version 520 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=13130843 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=13132835 http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=13135543

	I have data comparing my 780Ti with the 980 at Folding@home. hardware: 780Ti (only gpu in system) in 2600K, PCIE2 slot, 64-bit linux mint 17 LTS, nvidia driver 343.22 980 (only gpu in system) in 3930K, PCIE2 slot, 64-bit linux mint 17 LTS, nvidia driver 343.22 Project 9201 (core 17) 780Ti@1106MHz (+100MHz OC): TPF=117 seconds, PPD=255,750 980@1352MHz (+100MHz OC): TPF=93 seconds, PPD=360,510 Looks like a 20.5% reduction in TPF. Seems to correlate with difference in clock speed (22%)? It's not a perfect comparison but it's the best I can do.

GTX980 (64DP cores/4DPperSMM/1DPper32coreblock) is replacement for GTX680 (64DP/8DPperSMX), NOT 96DPcore GTX780 or 120DPcore GTX780ti. Titan(Black)250TDP have 896/960 DP cores (64DPperSMX) Compared to GTX680, I'd say GTX980 is an excellent performer, other than Double Float.

I expect that a GTX980 should be faster than a GTX780Ti at least by 10%. Maybe it won't be faster in the beginning, but in time the GPUGrid app could be refined for Maxwells. Besides different workunit batches will gain different performance (it could be even a loss of performance).

What do you think difference between PCIe2x16/PCIe3x16 is for GPUGRID, and similar programs? Also, do have idea how many of those "scalar" GM204 cores are cooking? Earlier in this thread-- You estimated 1920-2880 cores are being utilized for "superscalar" GK110.

	My GTX980 is crunching fine, a little slower than a GTX780Ti, while consuming much less power. So probably the GPUGrid client can use more than 1920 CUDA cores of the GTX780Ti (or it can't use all CUDA cores in Maxwell). Here is the task list of this host.

	Great work, Zoltan! For somparison my GTX660Ti with "Eco-tuning" running a NOELIA_20MGWT, which yields the same credits as the WUs you used: GPU usage: 93% (CPU 1-2% of an 8-threaded i7 3770K, PCIe3.0x16) GPU power 100% of its 110 W limit (-> ~121W at the wall outlet, increase over idle ~105 W) GPU temperature: 64°C (ambient: 22°C) GPU memory controller load: 39% GPU memory used: 978MB GPU voltage: 1.05V GPU core clock: 1084MHz Runtime will be ~39000s, as usual. Taking a Win 8.1 tax of ~7% for my system into account you achieve just about double the performance. The cards power consumption is 110 W vs. 165*0.93=153.5 W, i.e. your card consumes only about 40% more! (not taking PSU efficiencies into account here) I'd be interested in how your numbers change, if you eco-tune your card to ~1.1 V by reducing the power target. If you don't want to run such tests don't worry, I'll probalby measure this myself soon with a GTX970 ;) biodoc wrote: Good news that the app is working but disappointing performance. I would say it's only disappointing if your expectations were set really high. So far GM204 is not performing miracles here, but it's performing solidly at almost the performance level of GK110 for far less power used. biodoc wrote: I believe the GPUGrid app uses SP floating point calculations. Correct. eXaPower wrote: Also, do have idea how many of those "scalar" GM204 cores are cooking? Earlier in this thread-- You estimated 1920-2880 cores are being utilized for "superscalar" GK110. It was always hard for GPU-Grid to use the superscalar shaders, which amounts to 1/3 of all shaders in "all but the high-end Fermis" and all Keplers. That's where this number comes from. Maxwell has no such restrictions, hence all shaders can be used in principle. This says nothing about other potential bottlenecks, however: PCIe bus, memory bandwidth, CPU support etc. Translating these limitations into statments along the lines of "can only use xxxx shaders" would be misleading. Edit: BTW, what's the memory controller load for GTX780Ti running such tasks? MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	There are more potential variables in Zoltan's tests so far: Cuda 6.5 vs 6.0 Zoltan's 780Ti cards: Are they reference cards or overclocked?

	@Biodoc: valid points. Regarding the clockspeed Zoltan said his GTX780Ti was running at 1098MHz, so it's got a "typical" overclock. And the new app claims to be CUDA 6.5. However, I don't think Matt changed the actual crunching code for this release, so any differences would come from changes in built-in functions. During the last few CUDA releases we haven't seen any large changes of GPU-Grid performance, so I don't expect it this time either. Anyway, for the best comparison both cards should run the new version. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

Unified memory is a C.C 3.0+ feature. Quoted from newest CUDA programming guide-- "new managed memory space in which all processors see a single coherent memory image with a common address space. A processor refers to any independent execution unit with a dedicated MMU. This includes both CPUs and GPUs of any type and architecture. "

	I posted some power consumption data for my GTX980 (+/- overclock) at the F@H forum. Also, there's some early numbers for a GTX970 in the same thread. https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=26757&p=269043#p269043

	Has dynamic parallelism (C.C 3.5/5.0/5.2) been introduced to ACEMD? Or Unified Memory from CUDA 6.0? Unified memory is a C.C 3.0+ feature. Dynamic parallelism: no. It would break compatibility with older cards or require two separate code paths. Besides, GPU-Grid doesn't have much of a problem occupying all shader multiprocessors (SM, SMX etc.). Unified memory: this is only meant to ease programming for new applications, at the cost of some performance. For any existing code with optimized manual memory management (e.g. GPU-Grid) this would actually be a drawback. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002
