    What wu's are you getting w/6.34?

    Since switching to 6.34 a couple days ago, I've gotten what's below...is that right? Only the 7124 got any kind of good ppd. Is that what everyone else is seeing or is my config off? I verified the log said 6.34 for the client ant 2.27 for the core (A3). I am running -smp -bigadv -advmethods...

    CPU utilization by GPU

    Is it wrong for a GTX260 to consume 3.8% of CPU and a 9800GT to use 0.25%? They are both in the same Win7 box. My Bigadv SMP is down by 4,000ppd compared to when I ran the 9800GT and an 8800GT in tandem and I suspect this is the cause.

    GTX260 Downclock

    I should know better. Anytime stuff is working and I change it up something finds a way to get fubar'd. My MSI TwinFrozr has been running fine forever in one boxen and I switch it to another and now the thing is stuck on 300core/600shader/100mem. I tried everything (new drivers, driver...

    Just got a Project 2684

    Downloaded to my Linux VM...hasn't even finished a frame yet. HFM.NET does not yet have the project in it's download file. Run 0, Clone 3, Gen 1 so you know this is the new stuff. Someone shout when their Windows client get's one of these. I have both set up and want to try the Windows...

    Finally folding bigadv !!!

    In an effort to get more points with less power, I picked up an i7-860, MSI P55-GD65, 8GB ADATA 1600 DDR3, and Thermalright cooler. After a night building and another night fumbling around to find a happy OC setting, I'm finally crunching a bigadv wu. TPF is around 36:00 at 3.62Ghz which...

    GTX295 - what's going on with supply?

    I noticed on the Egg that there are only a few mfg's showing availability of the GTX295. Does anyone know if this is just a temporary supply issue or is it already entering end of life and being phased out for something new?

    Usability Issues

    My E6400 C2D w/8800GT rig really has a problem moving windows around the screen and is very sluggish. The problem goes away just a few seconds after quiting the GPU client and comes back just a few seconds after restarting it. I've been folding on this rig for over a year and it seems it just...

    i5-750 or i7-860 or i7-920?

    What is the best CPU/Chipset for building a new folding rig? Gaming is not a consideration. Here are pros/cons I can think of. Let's hear your ideas. i5-750 pros - cheaper than i7-920, as fast as i7-920, lesser cost mobo's vs i7-920, low TDP, good OC cons - no HT, only 2 8x PCIe lanes...

    Tigerbiten nearing 50 Mil points & 100,000 WU's

    He probably wouldn't call the attention to himself so let me start a well deserved round of congratulations for Tigerbiten. Within the next week or so he will achieve not one, but TWO, crazy milestones: 50,000,000 points and 100,000 WU's. That is extraordinary and we should all thank him for...

    Shader setting for 260

    Can someone give me a good OC shader setting for my new core 260/216? It's running about 57C at stock so I know there is room. I want to be at max for 100% stability and understand I might have to try a couple to figure out what this card likes. It's the MSI with double fans.

    Power consumption 8800GT vs GTX260/216

    OK - the Shell Shocker got me today and I went for one of the MSI 260's with the nice cooler. I have an empty PCI-E slot in a box with an Antec EA380. It's got a Q6600 running stock speeds, one drive, one fan. Do you think the new card will work in this box? I know I can run the 8800GT...

    More A1 Core WU's under notfreds

    For the last week or so, I have been assigned a rash of A1 core WU's. I have 7 VM clients running and have had as many as 5 of them running the A1 core WU's at the same time. Right now I have 4 of them. PPD is half of the A2 core WU's. Is everyone else seeing the same? This does take away...

    Is that a mower I hear?

    Well, yes, it is....it's the capreppy mower and in two weeks my folding grass is going to be nice and short! Congrats capreppy...the [H] is lucky to have you. Again, I have to give you credit for raising my ppd about 5Kppd with your VM guides and no extra hardware. Gotta love that:cool:

    9800GT vs. 8800GT

    My 8800GT's OC higher and kick the [H] out of my 9800GT's. One 8800 is a Zotac the other PNY. Both OC exactly the same and score the same...logical. The 9800's are all BFG and none of them will approach the same OC as the 8800's. On average the 8800's are 200-500ppd better than the 9800's...

    365 Days of Folding = 4,119,990 pernts

    Tomorrow will mark exactly one year since my son and I became addicted to the cause. Lots of the [H]orde have been folding longer or fold faster but I just got to thinking how it took almost exactly 6 months to reach 1 Mil and 6 more months for the next 3 Mil (thank you GPU folding). I...

    Can't OC Card #3

    Someone out there I know has had this problem. Hopefully there is a fix. I just installed the 3rd 9800GT in my rig and it is folding at stock speeds. I have used Nvidia's performance utility and RivaTuner to OC and both work fine on cards 1 & 2 but will not let me OC card #3. RivaTuner does...

    Post #1 & Nvidia Driver question

    Hello [H]orde and happy holidays to all. Sorry for lurking so long as my son and I have been folding for team 33 for almost a year. I am bitten by the folding bug and just built a new multi-gpu boxen currently with 2x9800GT and a 3rd on the way. My question is what is the current favorite...
