Fastest GPU's

I have a question about the fastest GPU link.
The fastest card shows as (1.000). So if a card says (.257) for instance, does that mean it's only 25.7% the speed of that top card?

Correct.
But be sure to read the note all the way at the top.

I have an idea.
Someone could implement the following script by Javascript (FF extension, GreaseMonkey, etc...).
Put a checkbox alongside the GPU applications.
Default for this checkbox should be "not checked".
If you check an application, a checkbox alongside GPU models appears.
Default for this second checkbox should be "checked".
When you uncheck "the first model" or "the first and the second" or so on... a function recalculates percentages for all the checked models.
E.g. if you uncheck the first and the second one, third card should show (1.000) and the remaining ones new scaled percentages.

Yeah, results could be off. Just having two different GPUs in your system can skew it quite a bit. I set up 2 different instances so mine show up in different computers. It would be nice if BOINC just picked it up, but I like being able to choose different work for each one.

If that's all you want to do it for then you could use the Exclude command and exclude each gpu from a different project and then sign up for both projects. Each gpu will run it's own project. Something like this works:
<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://moowrap.net/</url>
<device_num>0</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://boinc.fzk.de/poem/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
</options>
</cc_config> | |

It's a nice idea.
What you want is to be able to directly compare 2 GPUS, right ?
Like, I have a GTX1060 3GB and want to know, approximately, how much better an RTX 2070 would be at AP27 or GFN-18, for instance.
Currently, I have to do the math manually: take the speed value of the RTX 2070 and divide it by the GTX 1060 speed value.
An automated way to do it would be nice.
But making a browser add-on to do it is way beyond me at the moment.

Could something similar be used to assign certain sub-projects at the same project to different GPUs?
For example, in the same computer I want to run 4 GPUs, some of which I already own, for PG it would be something like: a GTX 650 I would like to only run GFN-15, GFN-16, and both GFN-17s on, a GTX 750 I only want to run PPS-Sieve on, a GTX 970 I only want to run AP27 on, and get an RTX 2070 or higher to run only GFN-18 and above. Can this be done?
Different projects would have different assignments for each card and might, if possible leave the lowest card or two on PG while using the fastest two on other projects or maybe the other way around. Can this be done as well? Like if when I switch off the AP27 and GFN-18 and above at PG and turn on Seti@Home (running on only the two fastest cards using the above exable), can the two slowest cards be maybe automatically reassigned to both run say PPS-Sieve at PG to reduce heat?
I know I ask a LOT of stupid questions but I've thought about this for quite a while and figured this thread was a good opening to ask.
I'm currently looking for a MB that can support 4 PCIE slots at least at version 3.0 and X16 each. Most of them of course slow down to X8 or even X4 the more you use. Eventually I hope to end up with 4 liquid cooled 2080 TIs in the same system. CPU brand is not a huge thing for me now either, just want best bang for my buck. Would prefer to keep the MB EATX tho as I'm wanting to use the ThermalTake X9 case.
Thanx,

I've done that by following the steps in this link: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?283512-How-To-run-multiple-BIONC-clients-on-one-machine-not-an-app_info-method
It makes it so each GPU is under a separate computer, then you can pick different subprojects for each one. I've only used it on Primegrid so I don't know if it would work with other projects.

Another way is to load Boinc 4 times on your pc, each in it's own directory, and control each gpu that way. Yes you would have to exclude 3 gpu's in each copy of Boinc from PG but it would work. | |
