What PPD are you getting with the new drivers? The 38 C GPU temperature looks very low. Is that a steady-state value? I don't notice PPD's because I don't care about points but if I had to guess they are about the same but I have only had one work unit number and it only show base Credit as stated ...

Running nVidia GeForce driver 310.90 here for a few days now. For some reason, my 2x 480 GTX GPUs are running almost 10C cooler, there's hardly any screen stuttering or freezing when moving, resizing or minimizing or maximizing windows, normally this would be so bad as to make the system unusable, ...

I wanted to add that a giveaway of this magnitude would likely run into some significant legal and regulatory obstacles. My guess is that the giveaway portion would be classified as a sweepstakes*, and sweeps laws are not very unified. I enter a lot of sweeps, and few are open to any non-US residen...

Also the cost of running any computer is not really cheap any more. I hope and wish that more would get involved but the cost "not just buying/building a computer" but to run it is not cheap In colder climates and seasons, the heating value of the FAH computers can offset much of the cost...

As others have pointed out though its not the cost of the hardware that puts people off - bear in mind that good parts will last several years so $1200 becomes $300-$400 per year, running costs are the bigger deterrent,many people have given up, not because they don't believe in the project or cann...

Any solid reasons for running v6? yes for my laptop as v7 crashes windows 8 and really does nothing v6 runs fine without any problems... will work on the reason more later What kind of messages are associated with the crashes? Without any additional information, the first guess is that the laptop c...

Again, saying "it works for me" is not meaningful. It works for a lot of people. And it does not work for a lot of other people. And NVidia does not seem to have a clue as to what is going wrong. This is why I say I am testing and it might be worth for some to check it out as well... ther...

Thanks P5-133XL and Joe_H for your posts. Yeah I am still fairly new to folding but not to computer hardware lol it's the software that always gets me :lol: for some reason my searching things like forums suck guess that could have something to do with not being 20 anymore lol Ok so the size of unit...

Afew of us has upgraded to the 310.90 and well over the 36 hour mark with no problems I have seen yet with mine or others posted... I just updated with out doing clean install over the 306 driver without problems... yes some of us have different cards not sure if anyone with the 460 card has updated...

I have seen post about the work units size. - small = Configures the slot to get small WUs (~5MB) - normal = Configures the slot to get normal WUs (~10MB) - big = Configures the slot to get big WUs (~500MB) I know why to set for small and normal is normal after all but big 500mb. My question is what...

I am still testing it but so far no problems still afew hours before the 2nd unit is done with new driver... Oh and it has been over 24hours with afew stops had to make...

Alan here is an idea for ya use the pic ya want I do like it but here is what ya card should say... Do you know anyone with Alzheimer's, Huntington's or cancer? Are you happy with the research going on with these or other diseases? Do you know you could help with out really doing anything? Here's ho...

What kind of computer do you have that cannot meet the deadlines running 20 hours per day? Certainly there are assignments that you can't complete, but there are also ways to get assignments that you CAN complete. In other words, it's a matter of learning how to configure your client -- and there's...
