Quadro P5000 support ?

Hi guys,

Is it normal that the GPU load , while calculating the reconstruction, switches constantly between 100% and 0% ?

I am using a a big workstation with a Nvidia Quadro P5000 and the stable ODE nvidia driver 376.84.

Looking foward to read about your experience.

Hi Philipp
It is absolutely OK, there are data transfers etc so it cannot work at 100 % all the time, it is technically not possible with the current state of technology.

thanks , i was just wondering about that behavior.

Just to follow up on this a little. I have seen the same behavior and I’m curious if a dual gpu dual cpu setup means somewhat higher efficiency? I have single CPU dual GPU now, and when the GPUs are heavily loaded - jobs seems to be loaded to each GPU every other time (if I can rely on my GPU monitor).

Hi Ørjan Sandland

Can you please make screenshot from MSI Afterburner on the GPU status ? ( not other GPU monitoring sw as have seen issues with reporting proper values )

I installed Afterburner, but I can’t find a way to display both GPUs at the same time. GPU Shark displays both, and that’s how I noticed that it seemed to “send GPU jobs” to them in a kind of an alternating pattern.

Hi Ørjan Sandland

That can be done quite easy way in SETTINGS.

I monitored it for a while, and it seems like the two GPUs are trailing eachother very closely. Not sure if this is a delay on the monitoring tool or not.
