How much Vram usage do you see when folding?
Sunday, March 25, 2012 7:16 AM
( permalink)
I am doing nothing else on this system and I am seeing 98% GPU usage an 1.518Gb of Vram "Stable" usage. Like as in flat line... Not a spike number. What do you see? I realize different Work Units will demand different amounts and all... Bu wow! makes me worry that my past folding efforts have been hampered when running 1.5Gb or 1.25Gb Vram GPU's... Or?

That is so weird! I am running three 570HD 2560's... I see you are running 470's @ 1.25g... I wonder if it is a bug in Precision...

My 560Ti is seeing 450MB usage, about the same on my 570's. I was under the impression that F@H didn't use much VRAM.

I've never seen folding go above 500MB on my cards.
Are you running in SLI? If so, it would have to duplicate the contents of the VRAM across all GPUs. That would explain why we all have ~500 and you have 1500 (500x3). You would have 3 folding clients in each card's VRAM.
