| [F@H] Q: Is this normal ?
New rig - so I'm trying out the ATI GPU2 beta client.
I understand that it needs one "core" of a CPU to deal with the communication/co-processing (my terms) with the GPU.
I was somewhat surprised to see 2x FAHCORE_11 showing up, and was wondering, if anyone knows, is that "normal" behavior?
CPU: AMD Phenom Agena 9550
GPU: ATI HD3870 (MSI)
It certainly runs through the WUs quickly..... 1.5 to 3 hours - don't know how "big" they are though..
Thanks !

| I am not sure who knows, db. I have always been a GPU folder, but Stanford just rendered all of my GPU's obsolete.
Due to the cost that I invested in those X1900XTX cards, I will not be investing in another set of video cards, so I am now dead in the water.
The best place to ask that question strikes me as the folding community forum. There are folks following the whole beta project, and I suspect that any number of them could answer that question.
There may be Helixers also involved, but if so, I am not aware of that fact, and perhaps they could mention it if they are. 
Edit: Would help if I added a link... sorry.

I am running that client as well and have only one instance of that core. (The core is consuming about 50% of CPU on a dual-core machine.) |

Thanks for the replies ! |
