Minus 768MB for the GTX, etc....

Actually, 4 GB minus the video ram. Mine sit at 3.32 GB right now with Vista Business x86. I fired the client and it's finally crunching at a average of 2750 ppd (still swinging between 2450 and 2900 while I'm working to reinstall parts of the OS.

With that one working fine, I can kick the 2nd VM instance and run just 1 along with a console client for the 3rd core leaving one for the GPU2. The total system ppd is about 5760 ppd, up from 5200 with 2x SMP and console.

Your sentence sounded like you are talking about seeing only 3 GB then subtract the video memory and other memory. I'm just clarifying that :p

 
Awesome news! It looks like the 9600GT I bought back before I started folding is going to turn out to be a bonus purchase for a change...

Figures it'd get released while I'm out of town.. :rolleyes: It's nice to hear it's running stably so far though.

Single GTX = 4233.60 PPD
1 SMP is getting 1766 PPD
2 SMP still churning

Side note my CPU is sitting at 45c and GPU at 48c :) weee

 
I'm getting instant early unit ends on the gpu client. On both 5001 and 5002. Any ideas? I updated to the latest drivers from nvidia 175.16. Do i need to reboot after installing the client?

x64 OS ?

 
Adding the GPU client hasn't affected my SMP client at all. It's still getting about 2900 PPD on a 2653, with 5600 PPD on the GPU client. Total PPD for the box is around 8500.

That's friggin' awesome! Is that a Windows SMP client on a Q6600?

So what's the difference between the 9600 GT and the 8800 GT? I see the 8800 GT is around 160 here and one place has the 9600 GT on sale for $115 AR.

 
I just joined with my 8800gtx, is there a way to not display the screen and still have it chug away?
 
Umm yeah, DEFINITELY a huge diff between the normal driver and the cuda driver. cuda driver is like 60 megs, almost double the size. We're rolling now. Results in the morning.
 
When i close it the cpu usage drops to nothing and the the gpu cools down, so i take it that it stops working like it should? I am the driver version 175.80 if that helps to

Check if the processes are still in task manager....mine is only using about 20% of one core

The processes are [email protected] and FahCore_11.exe
 
do you have the icon for it in the taskbar when you are running the display window? mine always has the taskbar icon and just closes down to there when i shut the display.

If plug the 8800GT in between the 9600GT and the 8800GTS in this chart, it should put the 8800GT around 4000 to 4200 PPD range. Most benchmarks I've seen put a slightly OC'd 9600GT around the same as a stock 8800GT benchmarks wise. BUT 64 shader processors on the 9600 vs 112 (or 128) on the 8800 would give a decent edge to the 8800 if you OC the 8800 (and why wouldn't you?:rolleyes:). I think the shader processors are what's being used for crunching the WU's.
This is a great site for comparing 2 video cards side by side and where I'm getting my numbers from...

Interesting, thanks. The store I was looking at had the 9600 at 96 stream processors which seemed too good to be true. Going to the manufacturers site showed the usual 64. If I get one I'll probably go with the 8800 GT I guess, now I need to start shopping around.

Holy crap :eek: A big 8500 pernts on one boxen sounds utterly fan-freakin'-tastic (sorry, bad PC :p)

Because I'm "anal" about lag, strain or whatever on my boxen and I only use 1x SMP client on my 1x WinXP Q6600 WC'ed boxen (my other Q6600 is runun' Ubuntu v8.04) and the amount of pernts (2900 @ 3.2 GHz 1x SMP client) quoted above sounds accurate to me. I just use my Q6600 WC'er as a "work horse" for light duty stuff like surfin', IM'ing' Itunes, DVD copying, general stuff like that and I fold on it 24/7.

Please excuse this utterly "dumb a*s" question, but I'm no gammer and I don't know "jack" about graphics cards (CUDA ?). What graphics card were these fantastic pernts made on? (if it's obvious please excuse my question) :confused:

I just read a post by MixManSC about a $140 dollar card (I might be able to swing that :p) would that give me such a boost in pernts as IcedEmotion was talking about above? I was "surfin' the NewEgg sight (is that a good place for graphics cards?) and they had some of all kinds of graphics cards (to me). Which one would be the cheapest (I have to be thrifty),still give me "bang fior the buck" and a bunch of pernts like IcedEmotion was talking about :confused:

Thanks in advance for any input :D

5600 PPD is on an 8800 GTS 512 pushed to the edge of stability for the stock cooler. An 8800 GT (~160) should get you around 4000-4500 stock and I think Parja has his at 5200 PPD after a healthy OC. I haven't seen any 9600 numbers yet, but I would guess it is in the 2500-3000 range.

Prices should start to drop on both cards soon with the new line out. I'll be back home either this weekend or by next Friday latest and will get some numbers up on how my 9600GT does. Either way, I wouldn't pay a premium for an OC version of a card as I've had great luck OC the stock versions of the past 4 cards I've had. The Palit you were looking at I've heard nothing but good things about, but don't know what their warranty is. For a full time folding GPU, I'm kinda glad I bought an XFX card as they have a "double lifetime" warranty and they're "modder friendly" on some versions of their cards. Meaning they won't void your warranty for aftermarket cooling mods.

Good Luck...

this is getting rather annoying, ive looked for anyone else with this problem and nada, its just my luck, and another thing i just noticed, is even with the display open and i switch to say firefox the iter/sec goes to .99, which sucks, and when i get the window to minimize it hovers to around 1220 iter/sec, and is the display supposed to show "core is not running now" obove the hardware?

Hey nomad8u when you finally arrive home and pick up your slack (unless of course, your other half isn't with you out of town) Would you please be sure to post some #'s on your 9600GT. Being an up and coming pernts w[H]ore and being a self professed "tightwad" I found a couple of 9600 GT graphics cards for less than a $140 US Treasury notes at NewEgg. Do you think they'd be any good? I also found, I think, a 8800 GT something on NewEgg for like less than $120 big ones. Please remember I'm no gammer and up until a few days ago the only "CUDA" I've ever heard of was the "barraCUDA" fish or maybe some automobile from my past. (many moons ago, gas was a lot cheaper back then) :confused:

Man, I'm tellin' ya' this being a fledgeling pernts w[H]ore and a self professed tightwad is rough. I gots to get some good deal ideas from the #1 deal finder CL. :p

 
Anyone get teh 177.35 Driver hack to work for Windows XP 32 bit? If so can someone put the INF out somewhere and link it?

[H] Editors Choice Gold Award on the Palit 9600GT I linked above. Not sure if it will do as well folding and that will be key since I'm not a gamer but the one thing I have ready in a couple of places now, is that the 9600GT runs anywhere from 15 (at idle) to a whopping 30 (at load) degrees cooler than the 8800GT series cards. Thats a pretty massive difference and for me down here in the deept south heat is already an issue, but if the temp difference includes a massive pernt cut then we need to determince the best options. I'd like to see the most efficient best bank for my buck budget card as I came into a little over 10 grand yesterday - my wife knows about it though but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to utilize the "a little over" part which could fund a few sub $150 cards.



Edit and I should credit Wolf2009 who originally posted this card in Hot Deals . http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1311132
 
The amount of stream processors is very important. My 8800GTS 640MB have 96 SP, 9600GT have 96SD and both produce the same amount of ppd. A 8800GT have 112 SP and GTX/Ultra have 128 so both of them should get 4300-5300 ppd depending on SP speed.

That's why a GTX 280 with the 240 SP will be a folding monster.
 
I'm running the 8600GT and it's getting around 1828-1840 PPD. I know it's a lame card but does anyone know how to sqeeze more output from it or should I just upgrade.

Thanks, Gary
 
Crank the shaders where are they at currently? And what CPU is feeding it? What else is running on the CPU?

 
GPU clock 602, Memory 801, Shader 1592, overclocked a bit. CPU AMD5000+ @ 2.8, nothing much running. G
 
FWIW, I'm getting about the same ppd on my 8600gt, and that's while running the Windoze SMP client in the background, plus whatever SWMBO and my 4 year old throw at it while I'm at work... I usually rate 1800ppd on the GPU client and 600-650ppd on the SMP client for about 2400-2450ppd total. I'm personally afraid to crank my card any higher than the 620/800 it came OC'd at from XFX, because with the GPU client running wide open, it's reading 96-98 degrees C, and that just can't be good - glad it has that double lifetime warranty!

I would guess you have room on the shaders. leave the mem and gpu alone... can you get anything more out of the cpu... I dunno if that might be a limiting factor here... What temps are you seeing on the GPU?
