This seems nice.

EXCELLENT WORK EVERYONE!!!

There are now 6 GTX260's for sale on my local CL from $125-150. If I knew that I could re-sell them, I'd get some for CC.

For $125 who says you couldn't.

anyone have gtx4XX cards folding?

Nope not possible yet. They're not compatible with the current GPU2 clients, will have to wait for GPU3 to be released

 

[Fitseries3]

i heard something about gpu2.5 beta... ?

I saw a few peeps talking on the stats page about them folding with them. Maybe I misread or they are just talking BS.

This fah-addict news is actually an April fools joke. The gpu2.5 beta seems to be legit but I haven't found a release date.

GPU3 in public beta within the week

Support for GTX 4xx hardware

Support for GTX 4xx hardware

We have been working behind the scenes to optimize the Folding@home GPU client for the new NVIDIA GTX 4xx hardware. So far, it's been going well with us hitting some strong performance numbers. We are internally testing this and hope to soon (weeks) release this for outside beta testing. Please note that GTX 4xx support will require a new client and also requires some changes to our cluster backend software.

This was posted on Apr 14, 2010 so I hope the (weeks) didn't mean 52!

I just would not be surprised to see the value of the GTX260 plummet in the next 6 months. I'll even predict they'll be ~$100 by the 4 quarter, especially if the GF104's turn out as good as I think they will.

A special request for GTX 470/480 owners

Here's some more info on the GTX 470/480.

A special request for GTX 470/480 owners

Postby ihaque » Thu May 06, 2010 6:02 am
Hi all,

I know there are many of you out there eagerly waiting for the Fermi-compatible GPU client and core so you can do some folding. While you're waiting, I have a request for you. I'll be presenting a study on GPU reliability in a couple weeks, but I've got a severe lack of data on Fermi-based boards. Though I have a couple of boards in the lab to test on, that's really not a very big sample size.

The proposition is simple: download MemtestG80 and run as much of it as you're willing over the next two weeks making sure to allow it to report results back to Stanford. Running more test iterations and a larger amount of memory is useful (to a point: if the amount of memory is too large, you'll start seeing some tests report > 1 billion errors; that's a timeout), but I'll take whatever data I can get.

You won't get any Folding@home points for doing this, but you will have a grad student's gratitude - and the pride in knowing that your data will probably have the fastest turnaround time from submission to scientific presentation in FAH history...

Imran

* MemtestG80 can be downloaded here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadUtils

PS - Feel free to pass this request on to your folding teammates

PPS - If you have a Tesla C2050/2070 and are interested in contributing, PM me. There are extra capabilities you have that can be helpful, but it takes a bit more work.

Okay, who's STILL Folding under ChimPoweUp? Notice the missing "r". I think it's someone's GTX275. Started on the 8th with EOC's 6PM update.

BTW, there are now 7 GTX260's for sale on my local CL and the prices are dropping.

I have one I'm working on for $80

Do we need to ask Buck to PM everyone to look for a missing 'r'? I believe it is a couple of NVIDIA cards and you could very well be right about the GTX275.

I don't even have $80 in my paypal account right now. I do have a open slot for an EVGA GTX260 and hopefully the SP216 variety. It will about 10 days before my next social security check arrives and I just might put some of my food money towards a GTX260.

ChimpPoweUp looks like a GTX 260, with something else added late yesterday. Maybe someone that doesn't get updates from this thread.

You's bein trolled?

Somewhere, someone is about to discover that the "r" key on their keyboard does not work.

Somewhee, someone is about to discove that the "" key on thie keyboad does not wok.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

smp client keeps failing to send results saying the server cant be contacted or that the work unit in question they have no record of this is becoming a bit frustrating

There he is.....Check your sh*t Hat, obviously it's you and stop tolling

 

[hat]

Ah, I'm glad I made someone laugh.

Nah, it's not me. I folded for the Chimp Challenge for a few days, and I double, triple, maybe even quadrouple checked the spelling of the user name was correct to avoid just this situation. I quit folding under ChimPowerUp after a few days, once I realized that team EVGA was going to win beyond a shadow of a doubt... so I've been folding under my own name for some time now

This is were we suffer. I know there are users that want points in their own name and are on the fence about the CC. If you fold for ChimPowerUp and want the points credited to your username, PM me and I will replace the point with my rigs. Of course, I cannot do this until after the CC, but you have my word it will be done. I am 100% completely serious about this. Let's all pull together to get ChimPowerUp to the finish line as soon as we can!

sorry for the bold font/size, but gotta get the point accross.

 

[theonedub]

^ Yes, definitely keep the contribution to CC even though we lost

I would have kept the SMP2 client up on the i7 but it started acting up plus I had WCG units to finish. Im sure I would've been at 4million points by now, but I think its important to follow through and finish the Challenge even if its for a solid 8th place finish

I will gladly help in this. I like climbing up the ranks as much as anyone, but I will remain "ChimPowerUp" until we hit 20 million. After that, if anyone wants to make up a few thousand points (or 10's of thousands of points), I'll gladly take up the call.
