GTX 780 Folding Thread

[TheAJSlammer]

Hello Folders !

This thread is for anyone who is currently folding on GTX 780 GPU(s) and wants to share/read tips, overclocks, folding stats and anything else 780 folding related

 

I will kick start the thread off with my current folding/gaming rig and stats:

Z87-G45 MSI GAMING Motherboad

CX600M PSU

MSI TWIN FROZR 780 (lite edition ( cba to pay more for a overclock that i could do myself :lol: ))

Intel i5 4670K @ 4.2ghz

Fractal Design R4 (I think)

12GB Corsiar Vengance 

 

780 is currently running at:

1215 Mhz core clock

3250 Mhz Mem clock

1.212V core voltage

 

i am currently getting 2 mins 20 secs TPF on my GPU

my PPD is at 83k (without QRB as i havent been folding for long) on my GPU on FAHcore_17

just recently i hit 195.5k PPD on a FAHCore_18 WU, altough i dont think i have QRB yet as i have only completed 1 WU

[FloRolf]

i jumped to BOINC as i reached 25mio folding points but my stats were:

No OC (cause i had failing WUs) and it boosted to 1032mhz.

no idea of the TPF but i got ~130k ppd.

pretty awesome card to fold with!

Other System specs in the sig btw. Also a review of my 780

NOTE: i had an oc in the past which was pretty low (boost to 1150mhz) but it was stable. Now, after 6-10months of 24/7 folding it isnt stable anymore, only stock clocks

i agree with you on that one !

i have been overclocking for a year now with my trusty 780, sad to hear that yours isn't doing as well as it used to, and i heard such great things about the DCII

yeah i completely lost the silicon lottery

Even when you overvolt it to the max i couldnt get over 1150 boost. But the card is still beast. Want to sell it and get a gtx 970 though cause i heard it will be very short and i will build a Mitx rig soon. Also when you look at what ppd the gtx750ti pulls then daaaaaayuuuum son! 970 will be a folding beast ^^

i think i got the jackpot on mine 

i can go up to 1250MHz and sometimes higher if i REALLY push it , but thats when i go past the voltage limit and make my own bios specifically for it.

yeah im gunna wait for the 900 series as well , or maybe the 800 series depending on how my wallet is feeling

800 series will be 900 series they are skipping 800 cause of reasons... Otherwise there wouldnt be romours so deep that i'd now the pcb size of the 970

how odd , why didn't they just call it the 800 series for convenience ?

your post makes a lot more sense now

because they have the 800 series Mobile cards already and think now it's less confusing

[TheAJSlammer]

just a quick question. what are your guys gpu usage when folding at the full setting , BOINC or FAH i dont mind

mine is at 90% and i am trying to achieve atleast 97% if not more

Folding is actually always 97-99% with my card and that's normal. What card do you have and what ppd do you get?

[TheAJSlammer]

read the introduction to the topic 

[SynapseBreak]

Im getting around 160k ppd consistently with my 780

 

Usage will fluctuate between 92-98% when folding at full.  Love the 780 though, the card is a BEAST!

How is my 1254 core clock on my gtx 780 and should i use a cuda mod for folding

1254 is pretty good and i have never heard of a cuda mod for folding, only for mining.

I've got a 780Ti, same difference right?

 

Asus gryphon z87 mATX

4770k @ 3.5GHz (turbo boost disabled)

780Ti @ 1006Mhz

 

To keep things cool I've got:

4 noctua NF-S12B as intakes (2x front, 1x side, 1x bottom) running at 800~ RPM

2 noctua industrial 120mm as exhaust (1x top, 1x rear) running at 1300~ RPM

For my CPU a NH-C12P running full bore with the included 140mm noctua fan

My GPU has a reference design cooler which I keep around at 80% fan speed

 

This is all in a Fractal Define Mini chassis. Temps on the CPU hover around 50C and the GPU stays at a toast 75C with a sub-20C ambient.

 

On the good days I can get upwards of 240k PPD. Usage on the GPU stays around ~98% and with 2 threads disabled on the CPU the usage is around ~80%.

Very nice...

Very nice...

Thanks. It's nice little rig. I'm thinking of watercooling in the near future. It'd be nice to bring those GPU temps and noise levels down.
