yea can't really get anything with the money that i have now.( which isn't much at this time)
i am really pleased with how my 9800GT folds i am thinking of getting a few of them when i get the money... thinking a board with 4 PCI-E and using the 2nd slot in my board that i am using now and 1 for the 5kBE rig
think of the PPD that 7 8800GT/9800gt(what ever they are) all overclocked would get when mine gets around 4.5-6k(depending on WU and clocks) i lower my clock speed from time to time to give the card alittle bit of a rest without stopping. may cut my PPD down alot but its worth it if it stops my card from frying its self

also thinking about 9800GTX+ those would kick some ass

Those cards are solid choices especially when the 9800GTX+ price drops when GTX250 arrives.

hope by that time i have a job and money

Darn, despite the fact I just lost a $500 video card that I can't replace, I feel guilty about not folding. I may move my 7600gs to my main rig, and put my 8800gs in the server to fold. I don't really care if it burns out. At half the poverty level, I can't stop, dam this is addictive..... Don't hold me on this please, but I'll probably do it.

 

[El Fiendo]

Agree with the addictive. I sit down and go 'I wanna game', looking at the 2 new games I just got and all the older ones I haven't finished yet. Then I look at the console clients, and they look back at me through teary eyes... and I walk away. I'm weak for their puppy dog eyes.

 

[johnspack]

Lord, all the gaming I was looking forward to on the 280... (weeps) and they just suck on this 9800gtx.... Pray I get a new 280 within 2 months, that's what I'm hoping for.
Ok, the 8800gs is running, not going to be nice ppd like I used to do, but best I can do.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

is there anyway to stop from getting 511pt WU? There hell on my poor 8800GT

 

[hat]

now folding both SMP and GPU for us again. I've been doing the stephanie thing over at bjorn3d for the past month

 

[johnspack]

No, the 511s never stop.....

 

[p_o_s_pc]

for all of you that want to stop or atleast cut back on the 511pt WUs take a look what google brought up
http://www.overclock.net/overclock-net-folding-home-team/471646-how-get-new-better-420pt-wu.html

i am using it and my GPU runs 10c cooler and puts out better PPD then 511pt

No, the 511s never stop.....

read what i posted i found something

 

[Homeless]

Oh wow my gtx has made a huge difference in my point values

 

[johnspack]

Tried that flag sortof, but a different setting under console client, waiting to see what it does. Also, pretty kewl, I can game on my 9800gtx while my 8800gs folds, nice!
Wow, 2.1k ppd on a 511point job, is that all these cards get? No wonder 8800gs cards are so cheap.

 

[Homeless]

Apparently if you attempt to open the f@h client when one is already running, the current WU gets corrupted and you have to start over :\

 

[johnspack]

Bizarre, never tried that, I'll remember not to! Sorry...

i have had that happen before but it was when i was trying to run the console and tray client at the same time with the same Machine ID

 

[Homeless]

Is there any way to get the GPU client to run at idle/low priority without having to do it manually? I did -config and set it to be that priority. However, it still starts at normal priority

task manager.. also are you looking at the fahcore_xx.exe or the Folding@home-xxxx.exe? the core is the one you have to worry about

my 8800gs get 3.1k on 511pt clock @720/1782/800

 

[p_o_s_pc]

thats not bad. I got 3.5-4.3k on 511pt with my 8800GT (or 9800GT) don't remember clocks but i think there where almost the same as your GS if i remember it was 700/1870/900

 

[mmaakk]

Using the "-advmethods" flag helps a lot!

After using the flag, 90% of my WUs are now 420 or 384pt

 

[johnspack]

Bizarre, my 8800gs is at 777/1782/1152, 2.1k... might be because the primary card is only a 9800gtx now, think it used to get almost 4k. Actually it's at 700/1700, but still...

 

[mmaakk]

Sweet Core 14 & 420pt WU

My vid-cards are cooler than ever

About the CPU utilization with the core 14, not really happening with me. All good.

 

[Homeless]

task manager.. also are you looking at the fahcore_xx.exe or the Folding@home-xxxx.exe? the core is the one you have to worry about

Oh that makes more sense now. I guess I shouldn't worry about it if it doesn't matter

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Those are nice clocks. Running solo, you can get a single cards clocks higher than with a pair or x4 in a Quad GPU rig. I can't get my shaders above 1745 on my Quad rigs.

Using the "-advmethods" flag helps a lot!

I have yet to get a 511pt WU with the -advmethods flag set.

With the flag set, I went from a majority of 511pt - latest weeks were crazy, sometimes all my rigs were folding 511pt, 353 I was getting once in a while.

Now the max 511pt I'm getting folding on my rigs at the same time is ONE

The 420pt are majority and the 384pt are back

-------------------------------------

EDIT

About SMP:

Does everybody getting only 1760pt??

Is happening with me for a couple of days already

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I am now averaging about 400 PPD with my three systems. Its ok, but you guys pump out that much in like 2 hours! I really want to get a low power system that folds just on NVIDIA cards.
