8600 GT worth GPU folding?

[wolfofone]

I have a 256 MB PNY 8600 GT, and was wondering if it would be worth it at all to GPU fold with it. I already have a psuedo 6970 (6950 @ 6950 speeds w/ 6970 shaders) as the main GPU. What sort of PPD would I get out of the 8600 GT and would it be possible to have it in the same system?

Do you pay for your own electricity? GPU folding is on the expensive side of things.

Yeah I do. It's winter here so the GPU is currently doubling as a space heater I've been folding on my 6950 for awhile, and had the 8600GT laying around and was just curious if it would fold enough to make it worth running?

If I"m remembering correctly, I was seeing 1-2k ppd on my 8600gt

Hmm, probably not worth it then, maybe just overclock the 6950 a bit

This sounds pretty accurate since my GTS250 (rebadged 8800GT) gets 5-6K.

Ya you should be able to get near 1K out of an OC. Just curious if you have the 6970 shaders why not run at 6970 speeds?

GTS 250 is a rebadged 9800GTX+ not an 8800GT/9800GT.. i was doing 6k PPD each on my 8800GS's @ 700/1728/1000 using the non fermi GPU3 client but i'm sure those awesome WU's are no longer being run. haven't run F@H in a long time.

also with the unlocked 6950's most don't overclock as well as the 6970's since they usually had their shaders disabled for a reason.
