Folding on 6850?

exactly. damn french canadians!

and we have officially hijacked the thread :p

Nothing wrong with a little humor, makes the day go faster.

Back on topic:
6850 owners, post those scores! Many people are interested in these cards.

Welp, the OP is having better luck with his 6850 than I am with my 6870. I can't even get any work at all.

What do you think the issue is? Too new for current WU?
 
Scratch that, just received a 5716 WU. Will have numbers shortly. Currently using 100% of the GPU and 13% of the CPU.
 
Welp, as expected.. performance sucks. 2:02 TPF for a whopping 3618 PPD.
 
Again, I am so happy I sold my 5870, bought a 460, and used the $difference to take my kids out to their fav Mexican food joint.

Getting mostly 10K PPD
 
Ooops, I am such a looser, I can't even spell KWH. /facepalm

It's "loser" not looser. One Canadian correcting another. That's what we do.

/me throws a rock at speedy.. get your facts right, we speakith American not English. we butchered and destroyed the english language in this country a long time ago. :p

And continue to be skilled at doing so to this day.

But I am Canadian, so I speak English!

Me too, as well as Greek, and some Arabic, and can swear at people in about 5 other languages. I guess that's not E-peen, that's L-Peen. Or "a dick in any language" :D

Welp, as expected.. performance sucks. 2:02 TPF for a whopping 3618 PPD.

That seems less than my 5870 which was actually cracking the 4,000 PPD barrier at stock and around 4,500 PPD at 900 core clock.

I was hoping that the shader optimizations would be at play here a bit more. But they may be helping if it's got 70% of the shaders of a 5870 but getting over 85% of the performance?

Does anyone smell that V7 OpenMM client? Nope, me neither :mad:
 
Tobit, can you or someone else try Collatz? I'll bet this card will shine there.

Too bad, I woulda made ya a good deal on a 295. :p
You're probably better off, the 295 sucks power!

its the american way, we steal everything and then butcher the hell out of it and claim we invented it.

im british canadian(from anti-french canadian part of New Brunswick :p), dutch german, spanish, and sicilian and all i speak is eng*cough* american.


lol its PG i wouldnt even expect a working openCL client to hit the beta team til mid 2011 if were lucky. wont hit general population til late 2011 early 2012. but honestly i dont care anymore. im getting a 6970 whether its worth folding with or not. gaming comes first, F@H comes second and thats how it will always be with me.
 
That's like saying the Anglo Saxons butchered and destroyed the Old English language when they formed what we now refer to as "English".
Conversely, one can argue the Anglo-Saxons weren't really butchering English since they already spoke an early form of it. The language that predated what they spoke probably wasn't English at all, and in many respects neither was the language they spoke if we consider what is called the English language spoken in the last ~500 years.

Many people don't know that English isn't considered 'modern' until late 15th to early 16-Century or thereabouts. Shakespeare's English is still modern and not 'old' as is commonly regarded by most people. The time between Middle English and modern English spans roughly three centuries, yet there had occurred a VAST change in phonetics and syntax in those few centuries than the near half millennium that has transpired since Shakespeare's time. I have a sample of Chaucer's English (14th C.) being spoken and it sounds nothing like English, not even remotely like Shakespeare. It sounds more Scandinavian. To me that fact alone indicates somewhat of a 'stabilization' in the evolution of English despite the plethora of variants and dialects the world over.

This could very well be what is meant by butchering, in that amidst the apparent long term stability of the language, there are ongoing regional or national transformations that seem to alter it in various ways including pronunciation and writing, but this is not real transformational change such as what the language underwent in the Great Vowel Shift which represents one of the biggest changes that occurred between Middle and modern English.

This is America. We speak our own version of English. There's nothing wrong with that.
Right, English is English until it morphs into something else, whenever that will happen....

LOL about the Canadian posts in this thread, won't comment lest I embark on a book-length dissertation.... :D

interesting stuff Apollo. I think you're basically agreeing with my statement that the various transformations the "English" language as we know it have been happening for centuries, and there's really no way to say one transformation "butchered" it while one didn't.

I tried to educate myself on the Great Vowel Shift, but I was lost quickly.
during the Great Vowel Shift, the two highest long vowels became diphthongs, and the other five underwent an increase in tongue height with one of them coming to the front.

Middle English [aː] (ā) fronted to [æː] and then raised to [ɛː], [eː] and in many dialects diphthongised in Modern English to [eɪ] (as in make). Since Old English ā had mutated to [ɔː] in Middle English, Old English ā does not correspond to the Modern English diphthong [eɪ].

I folded for quite a while on 2 4890s. Depending on the work unit, I saw major shifts in core utilization and ppd output. As long as it stays on 3d clocks, I wouldn't worry.

Also don't forget about "The X-Files" and "Terrance and Phillip"

The last one is a reference to South Park............

Thanks, although I'm no big patriot, let's not forget Canada's other notable contribution, or should I say sacrifice: http://www.cbc.ca/news/dday/index.html

Thought I'd mention it seeing how we're approaching Veterans Day.
