I was running a bunch of 3D mark benches to test out system stability with various bus speeds and GPU clock/memory speeds. In doing so I discovered that folding at home GPU drops my 3dmark vantage/11 score by close to 20%.

My understanding was that folding was able to and would shut down if it detected the GPU being used, eg a game running. Is this not the case? Or is it just not very good at deciding to turn its self off?

With a GTX 580 what is a good amount of over clock with stock cooling? Stock speeds are listed at 772 and 2004 for mine. I have the HT bus up to 230 from 200 and stable. Going much higher then 230 makes my sound card freak out.

I know my 580 is under performing, I suspect a lot has to do specifically with my front side buss only able to manage 2000/1600 MT/s with newer boards being able to do 5200 with an AM3 chip. Any ideas on increasing communication to the GPU beyond increasing the HT bus speed? Will pushing the clock for my PCIe slot up help much?

Before anyone says it, yes I would like to upgrade my mobo, when money isnt a problem for me and making rent and eating are not such a monthly strain on my budget.
