Heehee, it hasn't finished any jobs yet, but it has figured out my PPD. 20,378 total for this system. :twisted:

Heehee, it hasn't finished any jobs yet, but it has figured out my PPD. 20,378 total for this system. :twisted:
Give it a couple days to settle - apparently they send out different WU's at first - my GTS450 (I think I might have referred to it as a GTS250 a couple times in this thread lol but it's a 450) was getting around 13k ppd alone initially - after about 3 days it dropped and now sits at around 8k - quite a drop. It's also worth turning off the CPU folding and seeing what you get on just the GPU's as the GPU3 client does use a chunk of CPU cycles - freeing up the CPU to JUST work the GPU3 clients can make a big difference - possibly more than you're getting on the CPU at the moment - check both then choose whichever works for you.
My system gets about 11k now, going with one GPU2 and one GPU3 only running. If I start CPU I get very little from the CPU but the GPUs lose almost 3k points so I end up worse off WITH CPU running than I am without...
I read up about this:
A note on PPD - this will vary from project to project!
bonus points - it's up to 50% extra if you have a passkey, but only after 10 SMP WUs
Yeah which I'm not likely to ever qualify for with this rig - I'm running it purely on GPU which wont qualify lol - bah humbug and all that
Under SMP settings, select 'Use specified number of cores' and enter 3 (or total#-1). Voila! You're now SMP folding with 1 core dedicated to gpu3 assistance and other misc tasks.Quote:

I heard about that but idn if it'll help. Lets find out - right now, GPU2 and GPU3 only, the system is claiming 11,001 ppd - see what happens when I kick in SMP on 3 cores only...
Just for the hell of it, I just started my sons PC running SMP on a Athlon x2 5000 (2.6 ghz? not sure)
See what that pushes out...
I've been getting really varied results from my CPU. As some points I have gotten upwards of 2000 PPD on my Phenom II X3, but recently it has been more like 350-600 PPD, which is about 1/2 what my 1.8 Ghz core 2 duo imac gets.
Getting 11205 now - barely more than the old 11001 but I guess it's a small improvement - only getting 1625 on my CPU tho - dropped my GTS450 from 8k to 6.7 and I think the GPU2 on the 4870 is down by 100ppd or so tooQuote:

1) Depends on the WU itselfQuote:

3) Are you using the SMP or the normal client? I'm assuming SMP, but that figure seems low on an X3
