I just made a video about my F@H rigs and their specs, and showing them at work! I hope you enjoy! It will be uploaded soon!

I have been getting ~90% 1680pt WUs with a 420pt every once in awhile but thats all im getting. My little 9800GT is putting out 4.7k-6kppd depending on clocks how much the rig is used and WU. i hope i can get another one. I say the 9800GTs are great bang for the buck cards now that the 9600GSO suck (the new ones)

Hey, my local Best Buy has the 9600GSO/768MB if you want them. They only want $170 for them.
You could get one of those 8800GT's over in folding hardware deals and put them together, I believe.

wow what a rip off. I should be getting another 9800GT next month. I think it is going in my folding rig (with the 5kBE) so it doesn't put as much stress on my PSU in my main rig.(it makes sense to me to have it in a 2nd rig since i can't SLI them)

All ATi users get on 9.3, I get 2.4k PPD now. I used to get 2k.

Good enough reason for me! Just gotta get home sometime tonight... o.o

took a look at it... after seeing it i don't feel so bad about only having
4850e@3ghz
5kBE@3ghz
AMD Sempron 2500 @1.75ghz
AMD Phenom 9500 @stock folding on 1 core
9800GT@720/1897/900

but thanks for folding and not a bad video.

I fold with what I can afford, and what is left around!

i'm not trying to disrespect you or offend you bro. your folding and thats all that matters.

on another note i am going to try to get my dad and step mom to let me put F@H on there P4s then i would have 3 more CPUs on top of what i already have
It would be
P4@3.3ghz
P4@3ghz
P4@2.8ghz
that would give me around 1k-1.5k ppd depending on use.. btw i MAY have a P4 on the way before much longer and a 2nd 9800GT if so that would greatly help

 

[hat]

F@H is going to be slow/stopped from me until I get my am2+ board and mx-2 paste shipped in (board probably won't take too long, sometime next week... mx2 will probably take forever, using the egg saver)

Shoulda got some of the xigmatek PTI-G3606

Better than AS-5 or MX-2?

Ok, so picked up a GTX260 today and loaded her in. After a clean scrub of the old drivers and a fresh install she seems to be working like a charm. Currently have her tackling a 1680, has yet to complete a frame but it downloaded about a minute ago. If this turns out all well and stable (I'll know by about 10%) I'll start up the E6600 proccy with the SMP client. I may be in debt for the next month, but a GTX260 for $135 USD is impossible to turn down. Especially seeming how it appears I didn't get screwed in the deal. This added into my 9800GTXs and E8500s score should be nice. Next up will be gently OC'ing everything. Oh, I'll also get GPU-Z and find out if this baby is 192 or 216, but even if its a 192, still a stinking good deal.

Edit: Some snags. I'm only pulling 4500 PPD on a 1680 pointer. My 9800GTXs pull 5500 on these. Any help you guys have on getting this ironed out would be great. System specs:

XP 32 Bit
E6600
DP965LT (shitty but it shouldn't be a problem)
4 x 1 GB Kingston Ram (was originally a Vista x64 box, .5GB doesn't matter to me)
Antec Truepower Trio 650W
XFX GTX 260 192 SP stock clocked 576 gpu / 999 mem / 1242 shad
Seagate 80GB 2.5" Drive
Latest nVidia Driver set

Nothing but the GPU client running. Running across DVI->HDMI to my TV. Same scores going across S-Video. GPU-z and Riva Tuner temp reports 51 C on stock cooling which is all wrong by itself. The motehrboard is old so its only going to be PCI-E gen1, but its still x16 and shouldn't be any problem. Tell me, should the VDDC current fluctuate between 16-41A? I've never actually looked at this page before. Also it does seem to have an intermittent capacitor whine, but from searching the web many people say 'don't worry about this'.

Console Settings
-advmethods, big files, low instead of idle. Everything else I believe was just left as is.

I have had varying PPD with those 1680 pointers.

My 260 OC'ed to 724/1514 gives ~7000-7500...but I have seen ~6500 on my 9600GSO with a 1680 which does not seem right.

 

[ShadowFold]

How come my Kuma gets 2k ppd now? It used to only get like 200-300... Well I'm gonna pack up my 4830 and pull it out of my folding rig as soon I get the payment for it so my ppd is gonna go down a bit for awhile..

 

[chuck216]

ShadowFold: Your Kuma Rig isn't in your system specs but do you have an ATI 2000 to 4000 series card on it? If you upgraded to the new drivers that could be the reason for the jump. they enabled the use of the Stream Processors while folding, and hopefully while gaming too. After installing the Catalyst 9.3 my Athlon 64 X2 5600+ with 4870 is getting 3888 PPD on the 477 pointers. of course the card is OC'd to 825/1000 and i'm running the folding console at high priority though.

 

[ShadowFold]

No, my Athlon X2 7750 is getting 2k PPD. Not just the whole rig.. But the jump isn't that big for F@H, maybe 400+ PPD.

Can someone remind me how to get rid of the stupid 511 WU's? I am using the console version BTW.

 

[exon1]

I have just installed F@H Gpu (the link that came with ATI Catalyst 9.3), and I have a question, how can I use both GPU and CPU? I have done some WUs with the CPU a month ago or so, "exon1" on the list ^^
Thanks

download ''get and set cpu affinity'' smp client on 1 core and your ati card on the other one.

how do I do that in the config file? Can someone post theirs with this?

You add it to the target in shortcut properties. Must have a space in between flags.

i know its old but is 49c safe temp for a Socket A sempron 2500
