Now I'm curious. FahSpy says I'm running 5001 (5-135-1) work unit, 34secs per %, credit listed as 98, PPD 2490, on a dedicated core.
This is with a Q6600 @ 3.6GHz and a 8800GT OC @ 625/900MHz
And now for the dumb @ss question of the year or maybe even the century (nahh.., but obviously you can tell I don't know "jack" about graphics cards et al).
Will the EVGA 384-P3-N851-AR GeForce 8800 GS 384MB 192-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card (copied from NewEgg as you probably can tell ) do any justice to the GPU folding deal, because if it will, I found it on NewEgg for the low price of just a $119 smackers.
Before I make any decisions or get the "clicking finger syndrome" I'll be sure to check with Crazy Larry because I don't think anyone has a catalog of deals as good as his.
Thanks for any input from a "graphics card information challenged" person
You know, up until a little while ago I didn't pay much attention to the pernts. I was more concerned with the science and finding a cure, of course I still am, but the pernts have attracted more of my attention than before. Perhaps this is a phychological method of Stanford's to get more people involved in F@H or give those already involved, a new method of increasing their production and point standing ?

Edit: I think I'm morphing into a male pernts w[H]ore (nahh... IMHO it's gotta' be all for the cure no matter how many pernts you have)
GPU: eVGA 8800GT
CPU: X3350(Q9450) @3.56
CPU load while folding: 100 cause i'm running a winSMP as well
Board Connection (PCI-E, AGP, etc.): PCI-E
Memory used by the client: about 15meg for the core
Temps of the GPU (NVMonitor): forgot to check but low, its WC'ed
GPU Clocks: Core/Mem stock for now 600/900
PPD (as stated by FAHMON or other program): 2420 by fahmon
I haven't played with this much yet. Only had about 20 mins last night with the stock 174.55 driver. Do we have issues here where it could be running 2D clocks instead of 3D? Cause I feel like even with the winSMP i should be getting more than 2400PPD.
GPU: BFG Geforece 8800GTS OC 640MB
CPU: Q9450
CPU load while folding: 25%
Board Connection (PCI-E, AGP, etc.): PCI-E
Memory used by the client: 4MB
Temps of the GPU (NVMonitor): 43-44 C
GPU Clocks: 702/1000
PPD (as stated by FAHMON or other program): 2919 to 3024PPD
I also run a single VM instance with Xubuntu 8.04 on 2 cores and a console client on the 3rd for a total of about 6000 ppd.
Xilikon,
im using X3350
running single instance VM Ubuntu SMP on 2 cores, and 8800 GT,
Question for you, how do we set the console client? What cpu core should we assign to the console...
thanks
btw ppd now, around 6700, 2500 on SMP vmware, and 4200 on GPU2
You set the console client as normal but make sure to configure it so the cpu usage is set to idle. Set the GPU2 to "slighty higher" so it will grab a core by itself. Same with SMP by setting to idle. It's basically setting everything to idle excepted the GPU2 and let them sort themselves.
4200ppd with a 8800GT is normal
Hmm, that's low. Try killing the SMP client and see if it improves. I'm guessing if you installed the GPU client with idle priority and aren't using something to assign affinity, the SMP and GPU clients could very well be fighting for cycles.
So tempted to purchase this and put it in my low profile comp at home...ppdpd (points per day per dollar) looks to be fantastic
A 8800GT is a better value (4200 ppd for about 100-150$ depending on deals) vs the average of 1000-1500 ppd for 75$.

READ THE FIRST POST! That is what I am using. I got it on sale from Fry's after a MIR for about $90.
Does Stanford have preliminary data on the 4000-series Ati cards? They're rumored to have 800 stream processors, even though that's not exactly the same as Nvidia SP.
Also, why is there such a wide variance in performance between the 8800GT cards? I'm seeing anywhere from mid-2000s to over 5000PPD...

I must be getting the sweet WUs. Projects 5001 and 5002 are giving me these results:
GPU: BFG Geforce 8800GTS OC 512MB
CPU: E6750 @ 3.52
CPU load while folding: 50+%
Board Connection (PCI-E, AGP, etc.): PCI-E
Memory used by the client: 5MB or 15MB (Am I looking for the Fahcore or [email protected]?)
Temps of the GPU (RivaTuner): 63 C
GPU Clocks: 675/972
PPD (as stated by FAHMON or other program): 4980PPD
edit: OC'd the card to 756/1053. FahMon showing 5292PPD.
Some numbers I saw on 4850 testing gave about 4000-5000 ppd. Mike Houston said they need to tweak the driver to improve performance since they are right now not fully utilizing (ATI is using not enough power and NVIDIA is using too much, causing some display issues and lag).
As for the 8800GT, there is 2 factors : GPU overclocking and CPU utilization. If you are using SMP and GPU2 with the same priority, they will battle for cpu cycles and usually the GPU2 will suffer.
That's really strange. I guess Xilikon is right and it may have to do with the way the clients are set up, and as you say possibly the drivers. It just makes it hard to decide which card is best to run on a bang for the buck basis when the data is all over the place. So far it's looking like the 8800GT, but what if we get one and it proves to be on the lower end of the performance scale? Too bad there's no way of knowing for sure before committing to the product.Same CPU as me. He's running at roughly the same speed. We're showing the same CPU load. His GPU clocks are very similar to mine. I was showing about 5200-5600PPD on WUs, so pretty similar there. Difference...his g92 GTS to my g92 GT.
