Yes as StanHEMI has said it really depends on the work units and PPD can fluctuate alot.

Although you would see a slight improvement with the 4850, or you could stick a 285 in there as well

Mindweaver · May 6, 2009

Yea, the 511pt kept cutting of my PC with the "bfg 9600 gt OC" cause of heat (single slot cooler).

oily_17 · May 6, 2009

Those 511's are killers, my 9600GSO hate them

I had 1 of my rigs down this morning as well, I think it was a heat issue with mine.

I will have to sort this mess on my bench out and get some proper cooling.

Thanks again Oily_17!

That's not my main rig for gaming. I use it when I host a lan party for anyone with out gaming equipment... he he he I have a EVGA GTX285 for my gaming needs. Plus it's my g/f's PC she only plays hidden object games. Not very graphic intense. But, I would like to contribute more to folding.

So it sounds like you have a X-fire MOBO and you Fold. A GTS250 will Fold much better, but of course you will not be able to SLI. You could still get 2 cards (identical SP's) and Fold. Can you say 9-11,000 PPD?

Cost would be the same. Now maybe AMD will get their slow Folding figured out........

Mindweaver · May 6, 2009

I feel your pain.. I added WCG to my AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ that i have folding with a ati 4670.. It crashed overnight Tuesday... I've removed the side panel and add a slot cooler to pull heat from the 4670. The CPU is @ 42c and the GPU is at 38c both at load.

Mindweaver · May 6, 2009

Yea, it's a p45 board with crossfire. The gts250 G92's are nice, but I just gave away an evga 8800 gts G92 512mb card. The gts250 are rebranded 9800 gtx+ cards, but the 9800 gtx+ cards are rebranded G92 8800 gts 512mb cards. If I went with nvida I would use a gtx260 216 card.

I have never setup a crossfire box.. just figure it would be fun since the price is right. :toast:

bogmali · May 6, 2009

My 8800's (GS and GTS) love those 511 WU's

I cranked up the shader and fan speeds on those and I get 15K-16K PPD out of them.

Mindweaver · May 6, 2009

Don't get me wrong I loved my 8800 gts, but I fell head over heals for the GTX285 (Plus I had some extra cash.. Who needs both kidneys?... :laugh:

).

And it folds very nicely!.. lol

Ah, I see. This is a X-Fire experiment, not a Folding machine per say. :cool:

Mindweaver · May 6, 2009

Yes and No.. If it wasn't for folding.. I wouldn't even consider upgrading, but if i'm going to upgrade then more the experience the better. Right?

thebluebumblebee · May 6, 2009

What about the 4770?

Edit: Has anyone heard how it Folds? Are the power usages lower?

Mindweaver · May 6, 2009

4770 look good i just wish they had better coolers. The only bottle neck I see is the 128bit memory interface. They are beating the stock 4830's in most benchmarks.

morpha · May 7, 2009

I have been folding on a single 4870 gpu

johnspack · May 7, 2009

gawd i wish palit would send me back my 280/285. So much folding to do.....

TPU has a new review on the ASUS TOP 4890 that has the 4770 512mb's folding benchmark (PPD = 2835.7) After seeing how low the numbers are for ATI cards.. :banghead:

I'm going to drop a 9600 gt in that machine until, I can afford a gtx260 or gtx275.

Does anyone know the folding PPD for a 8600 gt 512mb card? I'm think'n about changing out the 4670 card. I have a few 8600 gt's. Thanks for any help! :respect:

1500-1800 ppd

Mindweaver · May 7, 2009

Thanks stanhemi!

That's about the same as the 4670 512mb's ppd.

thebluebumblebee · May 7, 2009

Pull the 4670 out of there and put in 2 8600GT's! Double your PPD on that machine!

I wish.. only 1 pci-e slot on this old 939 board.

I just joined Fold for Tech Power Up!! and have 89% complete on first WU.

Everyone who's folding remeber to add the

Fold for Tech Power Up!!

into your sig by copying and pasting the code below:

PHP:

[SIZE="4"][B][COLOR="black"]Fold for [/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]Tech Power Up!![/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]

Excellent! saved me from trying to figure out the font size etc.

Thats all I have to offer as well at the moment. I have a old 400mhz Gateway though. :roll:

So the ATI cards are really slow at this...:shadedshu I have 2 1950XTX cards I could crossfire but if its not doing anything then I wont look for a motherboard for them. :ohwell:

Great to have you Altered. Yea I wish ATI's card did better than they do. I've not had an ATI card in my main gaming rig since my 9800 pro OC to XT. But, I do have machines with ati cards.. you can't beat some of there deals.

X1950xtx can't fold only hd 2400 serie and up
