Guess what Buck Is cooking up...

Just got the rest of the parts for my last quad GPU rig. Got the X2 7750 pumping the blood in this one. Using 2x 8800GTS G80 and 2x 9600GSO and hopefully they will play nice together. If anyone is planning on the 8800GTS G80 for folding, don't. They are power hogs due to the 90nm process and produce twice the heat of the 9600GSO's. I should have picked up different cards, but they are here and paid for:ohwell:. This will be my most power hungry rig to date. I'll let you know the wattage later tonite.

I have been thinking about folding for a while, and I was wondering of how much of a network,cpu, and gpu strain does it put on?
 
So can anyone using an ATI card with the latest optimizations report what card they're using and what PPD you're getting with it?

I'm running 700/1100 on a 4850 with a flush interval value of 1024 (which having at around 512 and up should produce the same results)

384pt - 2700 ppd
388pt - 2800 ppd
511pt - 2400 ppd
548pt - 3950 ppd
 
I need help please every time my cpu client finish,i lose my pt.I have this error.? (the client never connect to send my result,if i wait like 15min the core shutdown by itself.)

Thats whats happened to me.. ended up having to delete the WU.
 
I have been having problems with SMP lately also. Yesterday I had to completely delete the client and re-install. Work files were all screwed up.
 
That real F*&%&? shit,i try to add more vcore and even run stock still that error message,i lost maybe 7-8 jobs@ 1920 pt each. :shadedshu

They also usually don't overclock as high as the 9600GSO's either.
 
So no one knows?
And who is highlighting the word folding?

It don't stress your network too much,is downloading a job every 2-3-4 hour and it around 10mb i think.

Sorry about the wait Castiel. :ohwell:

Network = Very close to zero. The download and upload of WU (Work Units) is a matter of Kb.

CPU = Positive. The CPU client will stress your CPU while folding. It depends how many cores your rig has, you can setup affinity for a specific core.

GPU = While working in 2D, your GPU will be working hard with the GPU client. If you are gaming or using 3D apps, the client will slow down.

3rd Place!!

CamelJock is grabbing the top 3 PPD average with confidence!

Great work buddy!

16K Rising solid!

:rockout:
 
Anyone know why my quad core only uses 25% of each core?

That is utilizaztion of the TOTAL processing power, and four quarters make 1.

Are you using a smp client? If you use a regular client you'll get around 25% over each core. Check to see if thats the problem.

how do i get dual GPU clients going? i want to fold my NV onboard 780a and 8800GTS 512...
 
and WTF am i doing wrong? i get this no matter what when i try and run F@H GPU2?!

reinstalled like 8 times and used the NV and regular installer...on latest NV drivers

I do not believe you can run on-board graphics and a dedicated GPU on the same board.
