    Some Initial Thoughts on AMD's HD 6800 Cards

    But he refers to them as Barts XT and Barts PRO, which according to the chart, are the 6700 series, not the 6800 series. I think the PCPer writer just mixed things up.

    Switch for RAM LEDs

    Aha. I'm sure the "ground" contact on the switch would be used in some applications but I wouldn't have known to avoid it in this scenario (which is why I ask). Thanks.

    Switch for RAM LEDs

    I'm looking at this RAM LED kit. It has an expansion slot plate with a knob on it that selects different effects and presumably includes an "off" state. However, I think it'd be good to also have a switch on the front of the case to also just turn it on and off. If I wanted to wire it to a...

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    Bwahaha. One of my VMs just finished a WU and FahMon got way confused for a moment until it picked up the start of the next WU. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn312/Avrithor/fahmon_bug.jpg If it completed 1,717,986% of a 1920 point WU, shouldn't I have gotten 32,905,331 points for it? :D

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    It seems to be widely variable based on the project. It blasted through that one at 3800, and now I'm looking at it and the last one it finished was a 5737 unit worth 511 pts., at 2612 PPD.

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    Wow. Okay, according to FahMon, the GPU is tearing it up now at 3800 PPD. I guess those environment variables and having the proper priorities set really makes a difference! (I do also have a mild OC on the 4870 at 760/920 in CCC. There's probably headroom for more there.)

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    I upped FLUSH_INTERVAL to 128 and am now sitting at GPU 2100, VMs 2400/2200. This may be the best balance I can find. The GPU is crunching a P4754 WU worth 477 pts. Strangely enough, when I checked them in Task Manager, the affinities were set right on the two vmware processes, but one of them...

    About an hour and a half later, my GPU2 PPD has nosedived to 1900, and the VMs are up to 2500/2300.

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    I'm stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, AK. 6 weeks is because I'm going on terminal leave soon, my 4 years AD conclude in September. EDIT: In case you were wondering why there's no AC and assumed it's because this is the military, I would like to note that "air conditioning" is a bizzare...

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    I'm only running a very mild OC at 2.8, and my temps are 56-58C. My problem is that I'm in a military barracks, bottled up in a tiny room that gets blazing hot very quickly with multiple machines folding away. (And no air conditioning.) So that limits my ability to OC. But thankfully I'm out of...

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    Yeah, that was it. Have GPU2 running at ~3100PPD on my 4870, and two VMs at ~1200 and ~1800 respectively, according to FahMon.

    Good question, I'll check that! Yeah, configured there for SMP instance per 2 CPUs.

    Guide: Setting up notfred in VMWare Player

    Hey. Getting back into folding and trying to get VMs working. I'm running Win7 x64 on a Q9450, and both VMs launch as "fold" running two instances each of the standard client, and refuse to do "fold64"/SMP client on account of detecting only an i686 processor and not x86-84. numvcpus is set to...

    Crysis Warhead performance WORSE!?

    I'm not sure why you guys are having so much trouble. My Vista64/4870 box is doing very well with the Steam version of Warhead @ 1680x1050. Shadows on Mainstream, Objects/Physics on Gamer, everything else on Enthusiast, no AA, and it's running nice and smooth. /shrug
