GPU Folding?

[Scroll_lock88]

Hey, just started with team 33 for folding and was wondering how to best go about running this.

I followed the stickied guide for setting up a SMP client, its currently off and running. But there isn't much information on setting up a GPU folding?


I have:
Phenom II x4 965
4 gb ram
Radeon 5870


Any assistance would be appreciated

TBH its not really worth it to run ATI GPUs for F@H. There are some other DC projects that are better for ATI.

The 5870 is good for 4k-5k PPD. That's really not that bad. Run the environment variables and it won't impact your smp that much. I wouldn't run gpu folding with less than a 5870, but a 5870 is worth it in my opinion.
