Everyone with fast GPUs: run this when you're not gaming. :)

edit: one work unit finished in about half an hour, including starting/stopping it once briefly. How much does that equal to points per day? If the system tray's telling me there are 5000 points per work unit, then that's... almost 240000 per day? :blink:

Just joined the team :)

Running on PS3 and GPU client, although seems not that speedy. Running the 8600 M GS and only getting an average of 60 iter/sec am i missing some tweeking I should do in order to boost that slightly. It's on my laptop so can understanding it being a little down on performace.

Did it work out at 240k ppd?

I heard that GPU F@H client can throw a few thousand ppd, but not 240! :laugh:

I'm an idiot. :blush:

My PPD according to FahMon is nearly 5000 for the GPU client and roughly 200 for the CPU client. So in total, about 5200.

Now that I swapped out coolers on my graphics card I can afford to run this client full time. Before that, I had a central vac under my desk. :laugh:

It could be because the server's down at the moment and your client has no cores to work with. The test protein always runs at 60 iterations/second.

One other thing i've noticed is that if I take the focus away from the client and just go use MSN the iterations drop down to 1 or 0 :s I can't see how msn draws that much processing power from the gpu ?

Play around with the CPU Usage percent slider in the 'Advanced' tab. Also set its priority to 'Slightly higher.' It barely has an effect on normal computer usage.

Also if you can't seem to get any cores: open up the log file and search for any 'UNSTABLE_MACHINE' errors. If there are, delete the Folding@home-gpu folder in %APPDATA%, uninstall the client, get the latest Forceware drivers (I'm currently using 177.41), then reinstall the client and try again.

All up and running fine now thank you :)

Updated drivers and seems okay, not quite the performance of yours but as it's only a mobile card I wouldn't expect it to be close.

Averaging between 350-500 iterations per sec now :) I'm happy with that and the Playstation running. Better still I live in rented accomodation where I don't pay the electricity bills lol

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
