Folding Forum

So it's actually less productive than simply having my CPU fold without a GPU. I find that strange, people keep saying GPUs are much more powerful than CPUs for folding. I guess that is not the case with the 260 GTX. I'll give it a day before putting my 4850 back in the machine and re-selling the 26...

Just got to work. The estimated PPD is now showing 16 !!!

Something is definatelly wrong with this.

Hello Bruce, I am not sure if you are looking at the right account or not. I use a seperate username for each machine I have so I can track individual machine's performance. On the other hand I use the same passkey for all my computers... so I don't know how that will show up on the charts. The mach...

I am using 2 Playstation 3 and 5 computers to generate WU for F@H. In a month my team climbed to the top 3% of team rankings. So it is possible to climb quickly to the top of the charts. Many of the people who used to fold had computers a lot weaker than what you have. Just think that every 2 years ...

Hello everyone, I just installed the GForce 260 GTX I purchased off Ebay to replace my Radeon HD4850 that wasn't supported by F@H. Prior to the installation my Core2Quad (Q6600) was producing in between 10,000 and 13,000 Points per day using CPU folding only. With my GForce activelly folding, estima...

Thanks. I might just do that

Hello, one of the machines I have asssigned to folding uses a Celeron E1200 and a 8600 GTS. I noticed yesterday the GTS wasn't doing anything and I remembered that this machine's power supply did not have a plug for the extra power needed by the VideoCard for the GPU. So my question is: Would it be ...

My first modem was a 300 bauds acoustic coupler on a Tandy CoCo 1 ;) How has times changed with my 30 MegaBit Cable connection LOL! It's a bit scary to think how powerful computers will be in 20 years if Moore's law can hold true. We are getting to a point were shrinking CPU sizes is getting harder ...

I totally agree with the original poster. My main reason for joining F@H is cancer research.

... Is there any guidelines on how often GPU support is dropped? So for instance if I decide to get a Radeon 5870, do I have to worry about support getting dropped soon? ... You'll have to ask AMD that question. ATI/AMD has phased out support for the Brook code that FAH has been using in favor of O...

Ok, excellent. I am running Windows 7 on all my computers except my two oldest one. Will see what I can find that will be cheap and supported, Ebay should have plenty to choose from

Ok, interesting. I will do the SMP limitation to 6 threads right away. Any suggestions for an old Celeron E1200 machine using a GForce 8600 GTS GPU? Is there an optimization guide somewhere that can be read? I did not realize the guy has a dual 570, that makes more sense then. I am still eager to se...

I just created one and will assign it to all my client (well, maybe not on the PS3 systems, would be a pain to copy that by hand... will see).

Don't think the key will boost rating from say 7.7K that I have right now to 40K... will it?

Ahhhh crap, keep getting my posts rejected because of URLs... I tried to remove the h t t p and w w w tags in front of links but no matter what I do the message keeps getting rejected.... very annoying! I use the link that is generated by clicking on the team number in the client... would post the l...

No, no passkey... but why would that improve performance? I was under the impression passkeys only made certain that results did not get mixed with other people using the same username...?
