you're already up to 7 from 11 on our team. lol
I'll be first within 10 days (forgoing any breakdowns)
Looks like 7.82 days to pass me and 9.33 days to pass diluzio. Oh, and 2.34 days for you to pass me, diluzio. :P
*assuming 40k ppd for diluzio..that's about right, yes?
Nice math!
yes, give or take... i was guessing a little sooner, but 2 days sounds about right.
I'm about to overtake pcclan!!!! Next update and I'll have him!
283000 points!
weird... i keep having trouble pulling new WU's for my clients... its really cutting into my points.
Me too on my CPU client. the GPU's are doing fine.
311,000 points!!!!
problem is, the 3 cpu's im running are roughly 1/2 my daily ppd...
What CPU's do you have?
my i7 870, pulling about 8k, a phenom2x4 @ 4.0, pulling another 8k, an i5 from my laptop, pulling roughly 1.4k, and an old dual core laptop pulling about 1k
I got a 980x pulling 30k, a 2500k pulling 15k, a 950 pulling 10k
it all counts dude, keep folding!
That's odd...all my CPU WUs are going through just fine. I can't imagine why you might be having trouble. :whistler:
Seriously though, that's weird...and yes, all mine are actually going through just fine. I wondered why you had slowed down so much Trace.
Some of my rigs are acting up. My OC isn't happy on the 2500k...
alright, im back on track with mine, i just gotta check the phenom before i go to bed, i pushed it up to 4.2.. lol
Well I got my system on here out of curiosity to see what it can do. It's a 3870x2.
my Q6600 @ 3GHz is ~3500ppd and my 6870 @ 950/1150 is ~3500ppd as well. I may throw in the 5850 I've got sitting around and see if that helps at all
I just reset my SMP client to change some settings, and now it is only getting 350 PPD with 100% cpu usage, but my GPU has magically increased to 6.7K ppd, so I'm actually getting more points.
I know I keep posting achievements and milestones, but here's one more for ya's...
Yesterday we set a new team ppd record (which I don't expect will stand long the way you guys are going).
April 21st - 175,141 points in 24 hours - to put that in perspective, that score is higher than the average 24 hour production of all but the top 114 teams....
We're also well on target to break the top 1200 by the end of the month - 12am on 28th as it stands right now but I have a feeling that'll improve too....
1337! Woot!
So, Trace, are you going to ever edit the first post?
What's sad is if that I could marshal all my PCs, I might could equal the PPD of the team. That would require better internet than I have. I may, however, try it just once to boost us. I'll look into it.
For the record:
1 dohexacore server setup
1 i7-860@4.2GHz
1 1090T@4.3GHz
1 1090T@4.1GHz
1 720BE@3.8GHz
and if I play my cards right, a few Sandybridge setups on loan. All systems between 4-8GB of RAM, and all with gaming cards, which would mean GPU folding too.
damn it the last 10 wu i was doing . all fail.
Hell anything would help, even if your net connection is only up to running one or two systems - course if it isn't, there's not a lot you can do about it obviously....Quote:

I added my GTX280 to the team last night. It was late and trying to get the CPU and GPU working together wasn't working for me. When I get more time I will try and figure it out.
The gpu would run, but the cpu would run for a bit then every 15 seconds drop down to less than 1 iteration per second until you clicked on the display. Then it would refresh and bump way back up. IDK. I'll look into it later, but the GTX280 seems to be humming right along. Never hits more than 60C while gaming in my current case (antec 300), but running this hits ~80c. Doesn't seem to be wanting to turn up the fan, maybe hasn't hit the temp threshold yet. Can't be bothered right now to go and use rivatuner or evga precision. If it croaks it croaks.
Just found out last night while looking up information about my father that my grandfather had died (same name, me as well). When I moved away I lost contact with people, everyone moved everywhere. No one told me he had died almost a year ago. Took it pretty hard, but for whatever reason one of the first things I did was go and download this. Maybe it will help someone else, idk. :(
Condolences regarding your grandfather. News like that is never easy to take - but it can be even harder when it happened so long ago because you get the double hit of feeling pain at the loss, as well as guilt at not being in touch.
As for the folding - the GPU3 client does use a chunk of CPU power too - if you're on a single core CPU you're probably best off just GPU folding - if you have a multicore CPU, try digging into the settings and see if you can set it to only use all but one of the cores for SMP or CPU folding. You can also change a setting to make the CPU folding less of a background thing - as standard it's pretty much set up to only fold on the CPU when it's doing next to nothing else so the GPU calling for CPU cycles may well knock your CPU folding way down if you don't play around with the settings some...
So, I finally enabled SMP on my 1055T on 4 of the cores (saving 1 for the GPU folding and 1 for anything else running) last week. So far, that has added ~4.5-5K PPD to the ~10K PPD my GTX 460 was doing.
Also, I'm putting together a (mostly) dedicated Folding machine using spare parts and some parts I bought from Fuganater. The specs are below; how many PPD can I expect from it?
Mobo: XFX nForce 680i LT Socket 775
CPU: Intel Pentium D 915 @ 2.4GHz (hoping to replace soon with Q6600)
RAM: G.Skill 4 x 1GB DDR2 800 @ 5-5-5-15
GPU's: 2 x EVGA 9800GT 512MB Akimbo Edition
1 x EVGA 8800GT 512 MB
EDIT: My sympathy and prayers go out to you, Nightrainsrt4. Losing family is always hard.
if anyone is gonna build a folding farm they should pick up a few of these, $27 each after MIR

Systems should be back up and running full power + 2 extra 9800s!
Thanks, on both accounts. I will go through and go through the settings sometime along here. It's already cranked through 8 WU's in the few hours its been on. Adding the Q6600 should help a bit.Quote:

How would these do in SLI?Quote:

You can get a GTS450 for as low as $80 (after rebate). According to some searching, the GT220 should put out ~1500-2000 ppd, and the GTS450 should put out ~12,000! 6-8x the performance for 2.5x (after rebates; 1.8x before rebates) the cost? Yeah, bit of a no-brainer there. ;)Quote:

EDIT:
Oh, and cards in SLI don't do as well for folding as those same cards in individual mode.
I'm asking because I have a 8800GS in my wife's PC and I would like to find either 1 better card under $200 or SLI for under $200.Quote:

I told it to use 3 cores, so that way there's one core left for the gpu stuff and when I'm surfing or whatever. Temps for the GTX280 have settled at 80C after a day of folding. The Q6600 is at 44-54C depending on the core and which are loaded, with this crappy heatsink on. Once I get things back on water when I finish one of these cases, lol, things should drop quite a bit. This is all in a room that is 27C, so not too bad (gotta turn the AC on, didn't realize it was getting so warm until I looked at the temp, then I felt warm).
Edit: Maybe I should put the Q6600 on two cores. Just checked and it's pegging out on all cores and the ppd of the gtx280 is getting creamed. Turned it to two and restarted both and its back up to where it was.
I've got an 8800GTS 320mb sitting here, but my board doesn't have another slot, so out of luck on that one.
I got both of my 460's oc'd and set towards FAH, so I should start to push ahead now
Well I finally got the Tracker to download the CPU client. It did take about 15 tries though. So I have my 2 5870s and a GT240 installed but the 240 will not power up. It works if I place it in the #1 slot but not in the #3. I checked the bios but did not see an option to turn slot 3 on. Is there another setting somewhere I need to turn on?
