You need a different client - which GPU do you have?
At the moment, I'm running a 6850, with a Phenom 955. But in a few weeks I will be stepping up to a better Nvidia Card. I'm thinking of the 560.Quote:

Ok so I'm not going to keep checking THIS frequently but.... 8407 now guys.... Keep it up :D
I wonder what my dual 5870s will do
You might be unpleasantly surprised - apparently (as I can kinda confirm) Nvidia cards are leagues ahead of ATI's when it comes to folding - my lone 4870 is barely breaking 2000ppd - so probably around 4000 per card - which is great, but peanuts compared to what an equivalent Nvidia card will push out - its not a hardware issue, more a f@h software one but we're kinda stuck with it...
Much as I hate linking to THAT site - here's a breakdown of what most current GPU's are folding at...

Course, an extra 8000ppd would still be VERY welcome....
Even with the ATI client? That kinda sucks.
Interesting. The client is probably optimized for nVidia processing methods, and the ATi client hasn't been optimized as well. Actually, come to think of it, it also depends a bit on the type of calculations being done...but it wouldn't be that big a difference if they were equally optimized.
It's focused on hash-generation (and machine-translated..), but here's a good paper explaining the differences in their processing techniques.

Oh, and btw, sometime this weekend I should be adding ~24,599ppd. :twisted:
Hmm, and I'll have to talk to PLAR...see about adding his ~46,924 possible ppd. :whistler:
I'm toying with picking up a nice cheap DDR3 GT440 to throw into an old 775 P4 3.0 board I have lying around - have a dedicated folding machine as a starting block - ironically, with that cheap - 2 or 3 from the bottom GPU, I should get easily double what the 4870 is getting!
And last thing before bed (I start work in 6 hours *sob*) - we're now at 8352 - I'm really looking forward to us breaking the 6k purely because that other stats page gives you a much better idea how you're doing and a realistic idea of how long till you pass the next team above you etc - keeps it interesting :D
ANy numbers on what an 8800 GTS will pull?
According to this thread, about 2.5K ppd:
