The computer in your sig will easily be above to meet the deadline you might be able to us your gpu but I forget if the oldest nvidia you can have is an 8xxx or a 6xxx
 
well, im back. although wont be able to fold for just a little bit longer. All the stuff hasn't arrived at the new house just yet. Although i can still help answer questions.

Yes shovenoses, the computer in you're sig can fold. I would hope it make dead lines or else you have issues as the pentium dual core laptop i have can complete smp2 WU's.

JonnyboyC: well he cant fold with it. You need a card that has cuda and the 7xxx and before doesn't have it. Now if he gets a cheap GT 2xx or HD 5xxx card to run along side (if he can) or replace the current card, he could fold with a gpu.


Now as for FAH new, You guys the have system with a total of 8 cpu(s) cores (or a core i7 with HT on), unless im miss reading this, you maybe able to run big adv WU's 😀

Once the unpacking is done, i'll be back to F@H.
 

is there some kinda of point advantage to this big adv WU
 
I've been gone to long by the way that's about a week for me maybe. lol!

Does anyone know if were doing alright or if our folding is down as far as the GPU folding is concerned?
 


Hm thats odd, i though i responded to you're comment. Guess not.

Anyways yes there is a point advantage. It should be able to give you some more ppd than smp2.

This might help. 😉
 
I've noticed too last couple day we've been done like 40,000 ppd,

i'm actually going to be buying a gtx 480 in like a week an a half, pretty much going blow all the money i've made at my part time job this summer, but since i can't find someone to sell my 275 too, probably just going fold with both :sol:
 


Well, i hope in the future computer build i have planed, it will have gtx 470 in it. Although cant guarantee that the build we be built anytime soon....

Well hope you can run the gtx 480 and 275 together. Many of the guys on folding forums have had issues running both. I would recommend going there and reading up on how to get both running.

Good luck on the gtx 480 :hello:
 
so also just read that article about bigadv WU, and they are crazy big, at a 3.8 ghz i7 i barely meet the minimual requirements lol, there are times posted at up to 48 hours straight to get them done
 
Well, the heat is hurting my folding, and it looks like it is going to hurt more. 🙁 The heat generated by the computers has really run up my AC bill. :fou: I turned off all the single core folding machines over a month ago. I've been turning off the GPU folders during the day for the last week or so. Looks like I'm going to soon turn off the GPU folders for the remainder of the summer. :pfff: Then I'll have to start turning off the SMP folders. :cry:

I guess I'll be back up full speed this fall when It cools down some. :sol:
 


Understandable. F@H always seams to drop in donors when summer hits. Most likely same reasons you do. :pt1cable:

If i was still in ohio i was looking at doing the same thing. Although with moved into military housing, Electric and along with a bunch of other stuff stays 1 price every month. :)

Now all i have to say though, South Carolina is very hot and humid......
 

South Carolina??? Yah, I should say it is a bit hotter there than here, though not as much as I would like. :)
I'm just outside Louisville Ky. It turned into August here in June. I have no idea what August will be like. The AC is running almost full time now. :sol:
 


Yep south Carolina. My dad got a job with the department of the Marines at Parris Island. Wouldn't of been my first choice of moving to but hey you got to go were the jobs go.

As for temps, Yeah your going to be pretty darn close to the temps we have down here.

Until tomorrow that is. :ouch: 100F...... This cold weather person is staying inside. :lol:

BTW, nice city you got there! 😀 Passed though it when i was still in boy scouts in ohio to go caving near the wyandotte caves.
 


What you mean by that 😀 ? Folding, location, or... the outside heat :lol:


Well, i got another processor working on folding. This one is the gpu in my dad laptop (geforce 310M which is the first gpu folding i've done). It wont be a 24/7 folder but it will fold when my main folder (the Pentium 1.86Ghz dual core laptop) is not going to turn in the WU for the day (as it take a day and 6-10 hours for smp WU to get done.)

May not be a powerful gpu but it still gets the job done and folds quicker than my primary folder.

 

Yah, I was wondering what you meant by that too. :??:
BTW, who you folding as? Just curious. :)
 
thats great to hear and welcome to the team!!!

but Crossfire is not supported so must likely you just running off the one gpu, i believe you can unlink the cards on CCC, and simply run 2 clients on each gpu
 
hey does anyone, have any info on how the gtx 460 is going to performance in pdds,

i personally went a a radically change in the card i was going to gett, was thinking 480, then go way big with 470's in sli, then boom the 460 came out, and immediately changed my mind, going to pop 2 of those in save some cash, overclock the freaking hell out of them, and get better performance then a 480
 


No hard numbers yet.

Although from what other people and I see out of the specs and game performance out of the gpu, Were guessing it's about the same, if not more, performance as the GTX 465 (which is around the 10K ppd mark). Yeah it has just a little less cuda cores than gtx 465 but the graphic and processor clock is a little higher.

Now when you factor overclocking this gpu, some review site has set graphic clock as high as 900mhz (from 675MHz) which could mean it could do 11-13K ppd. Which puts it right in the GTX 470 stock performance range.

no hard numbers but thats mine and other people guess on the numbers. If i find any hard numbers, i'll let you know.
