Like I said I have 2-9600GSO's 384meg with the 92SP's version. willing to let them go cheap. if somebody needs them for folding. By cheap i mean $40.00 a piece, great little folders, run cool also. If need be I can post them on a [FS][US] thread. Thought I would give fellow folders a chance for them.

Ooh, nice deal. I really want to snatch these up, but I really don't need them.

@CP: How loud is your GX2 when folding? I'm considering picking one up for $110 and sticking it in the X4 955 rig that I'm loaning out, but if it's too loud then it won't be acceptable

 

[rangerone766]

sorry guys but i can't fold on the 2nd card. it squeals so fucking loud it gives me a headache.

yank the heat sink off and use some clear nail polish in any copper coil things you see. put a coat or 2 on them, that should shut them up.

Ummm, pretty loud, not as loud as ATI Cards though, my 5770's are much louder. however, it all adds up.

I heard that HD5770s were pretty much silent

For $110, it sounds like a nice deal, but the noise has me worried a bit.

What odd timing. I've been thinking of building a rig dedicated to folding/crunching. Been looking at the 5770. Is that any good for folding ? I know nothing of ati. Nvidia fan here. Since it'll be mainly for folding Its more then likely gonna get an aftermarket cooler. I never liked the stock ones.

 

[TeXBill]

nvidia gpu's are better for a dedicated folding rig. I would go with the nvidia card they fold alot better than ATI.

Horrible for folding. I'd guess ~2500 PPD tops. A comparable nVidia card (GTX260) is 7-9k

Here's a comparison that was done by bit-tech here.

Luckily they included the 5770. I'd suggest you go with the green GTX 460.

I am running gts 250 sli'd but only folding on one. I was thinking of getting an ati rig since I never have and I'm looking at building a new game rig. My options look to be ati to get he features I want in the price range. Nvidia will always look good to me.

Plus +1 on the GTX460 great cards for folding and games also. I have one folding now and another on the way. They fold like crazy with a small OC and game fairly well. They stay cool and use less power to run them.

What is your ppd on that GTX 460?

A pair of GTX460s would be very nice

 

[mstenholm]

I know I'm not the one being asked but mine is doing 10.500-800 PPD @ 850/1700

 

[popswala]

That they would. They sure look impressive.

 

[hertz9753]

That's okay. About 1,000 ppd more than my GTX 275's, but to get that I have to set the shaders at 1656. Thank you.

I'm currently folding with a GTX 275, GTX 260 and a GTX 275 co-op. The shaders are only at 1556 on the GTX's and the GTS is @ stock. Any others with GTX 400's feel free to post your ppd.

 

[popswala]

I pull anywhere from 4k+ to almost 6k ppd at 738/1833/1100. Sure be nice if I got gpu2 running but won't

 

[TeXBill]

I get about the same PPD with mine, it's oc to almost the same as mstenholm.
I've ordered another one to take the place of a 9600GSO card. Should up my PPD quite a bit in the near future.

 

[msgclb]

What is your ppd on that GTX 460?

Since you asked.

My GTX 460 768MB card came clocked at 675/1350/1800 and that got 8,654 PPD just as bit-tech. My max OC was 850/1700/1800 and that got 10,558 PPD.

EVGA had a BIOS update that put the default clock at 720/1440/1800 and that got 9,261 PPD. I haven't tried to find the max OC with this BIOS because it has been so damn hot lately.

I'm currently running it at 810/1620/1800 with a PPD of 10,152.

Have you ever wished for a hurricane? My apologies to those in the gulf but something got to change before I go mad.

 

[popswala]

Gosh those 460's sounds even sweeter. I just might have to bite one one day.

I think that I might have asked you this before, did you ever try non-sli with a dummy plug?

 

[popswala]

For some reason the dummy plug won't work on mine. When I do the extend desktop it disconnects my monitors and had to restart to get them back. I tried with no sli, sli w/o bridge, and no sli with bridge. no config worked.

Man I totally agree weather has been super hot for the last several weeks, hoping within a few more weeks it starts raining and cooling off some. until then I'm drinking plenty of beer and trying to stay inside....

I've read on OCN that they're as low as ~9.7k stock but can get up to 12k OCed

 

[DaMulta]

Today we were playing BFBC2 and my computer rested, and then wouldn't boot into windows. It then went blue screen.....

I turned it off for a while, and now it's back to folding like nothing ever happened.

fuck......lol

What I would do for two 295 cards. I think that will be my upgrade this fall. I only wonder if the CPU will bottle neck them when it comes to folding.

Unfortunately Im thinking about temporarily suspending F@H for an indefinite period of time until I build a small Mini-atx or something tiny like ION n shove it in the corner in the place of my laptop. because past these last few months I have had tonnes of errors some are read errors, some are I/O errors the rest are just errors all which cause F@H to stop n purge what ever unit its doing and ive seen it error & purge units that were close to 98% completion too many times to count so alot of the work i should have been credited for has totally gone down the shitter.

the laptop is functioning perfectly. theres nothing wrong with it - I even removed the bottom panel & wired up a 80mm fan to blow directly at the heatpipes from the CPU and a little at the laptops own fan just incase it was the heat was getting to it. a few months on & its just totally deteriorated. from possibly 1 I/O error every 5 or 8 units to almost being almost lucky to complete even 1 unit in a week (my laptop is left folding 24/7@95% CPUusage) I have no idea whats wrong with my laptop.
