power per ppd

[folding_rejects]

I have seen the other thread here,which was a good read but doesn´t quite solve my and assuming others,problem in getting most of it without sr-2 and similar gear.

that means more or less ok cpu´s,mine is Q8400 slightly oc,phenom 940 at 3.5 be and a 1090 at 3800 now-seems ok since last night,uppded the nb some to 2,4 too there.
Still thinking of moving in at least a zalman on 1090T,and may doubble the ram from its 2 gb currently to 4 gb, I know stock cooler aint good,but amd´s is usable at least not mention intel´s stock so that got my other zalman in house.

2 st 9800gt gtainward green with lowered everything besides shader at 1620=has proven stable,the gpu is in the q8400.

the 1090T houses two gts 250,one really good (asus dark knight at 1890,and a green gts 250 from gainward,run it at 1674 atm,really no worries there besides if I want to do big-adv I definetely needs double my memory on it,unsure if that is a good thing though,if pg groups members don´t recommend it I won´t try,even if it had been way fun

Ironically my old amd 630 did more on smp than Q8400-smp 3 but similar at -smp 4=unstable,while it doesn´t is that powerhungry either,maybe bin intel and make use of the 630?
Here is the thing, seen you folks have issues with fermi+smp/bigadv and my old cards doesn´t,at all,thought of 460 that looks nice to its price,bin smp on my intel and replace my 9800gt´s with 460 should anyway produce more at same power give or take ? Only have a 80+ chieftec 650w in that build,afraid it gets borderline ?

The other two gives good on smp so guess fermi is out there on both,I do use be 940 for gaming so that is where my current best cards is at,gtx 260,
1090 occasionally gets other work if I need it,very rare though.

Any feedback most welcome

doing some research, I have found a GTX460 is about the same speed as two GTS250 in PPD, (GTS250 and 9800GT is about the same card)
The power consumption appears about one sixth more than one GTS250 at full load,

***GTS250 and 9800GT are about 250 Watts full load and a GTX460 is about 300 watts full load. so 500 watts for two GTS250's or 300W for one GTX460 (the power saving is great.
ppd of a GTX460 is around 10,000 and two GTS250's is 11,000
stock processor and Memory speed used for benchmarks, OC'ed hardware will add power, but also bring more speed, info from articles on Toms hardware for wattage calculations

Either you're talking about full system power consumption numbers or you're way off the mark. Either way, those calculations are flawed. You need to compare the power consumption numbers of the cards themselves to each other, without the overhead from the rest of the system.

are you planning one 460 or two?

One 460 should be roughly equal to a low power 9800GT in both power and PPD.

And your PSU shouldn't have any issue with it. I am running an overclocked 1055T and a 460 in my HTPC with a 430W psu just fine.

A 460 will double almost any 9800 GT in ppd

zero's right, your looking at total system draw, but you are right that a 460 will perform the same as a pair of 88GT's and draw less power

The problems are related to the production drop on very fast 6-core+ Intel systems making it not worth the power to run the card. It sets up and runs just fine, and on a slower system, is a great way to boost your ppd. I would highly recommend you getting one.

ok,that sounds good,only that my gts 250´s is on my 1090T-system,and I get 11k aroundish on smp (a3) there, which fermi apparently could draw from.

No reductions on smp then ? or do you run -smp 5 ?
Thought 2 of 460,to replace my 9800gt´s,and run the classic clients,only has two pci-e there as well,and the psu should do if you are ok

less power,and 20 000=2 x 10 000 is more than 12-13k which that one gives now with smp 3,smp 4 it is 13.14k but unstable then.And less power even if mine is "green" too

Ok,it is my thuban I´m worried about regarding putting fermi in there after reading you folks getting drawbacks on smp with fermi,11 k on a3 is good in my book.

Thanks all,to sum it up,it draw less power,and 460 is a go initially to replace 9800gt,and eventually my gtx 260´s,they do give 8k a piece+be 940 gives 5500-6000 on smp,it isn´t entirely dedicated though,it is my main pc after all.My favorite game is morrowind which only gives a damn about clockspeed pretty much anyway
will keep a classic client regardless,but those 2-3k on smp isn´t a big consern.
much appreciated

Hey can you Overclock that 1090t? If you can get it to over 4GHz you will be able to run bigadv on it.

They you will get great power per ppd.

If so let us know and we can help you set it up.

I´m down to a tpf at 4.03 on a p6067,read somewhere I needed to get below tpf at 4 to run -bigadv ?
Have it at 3.8 ghz now,it has been perfectly stable so guess I bump it a little more again,but not 4ghz before I get in a 3th nice zalman air cooler more like 3.9 give or take ?

You should not be running bigadv on an X6. This was clarified by Vijay several weeks ago.

I thought I seen statement like that somewhere by Vijay.
Wasn´t sure if it only was a that hacked client,the winetricks/vm or all of them.

earlier in the thread I did say something in the lines like that,- I wouldn´t do it but it had been fun-.

So what vijay say is what goes,I respect that fully,got a bit confused if there has been other statements that changed the situation after seeing threads about wine-tricks seemingly being ok,besides my 1090T wouldn´t cut it anyway,so it is theoretical regardless.
