Come join the TPU F@H Team as we enter the upper echelon of Folding Teams. We are poised to enter the Top 100 Teams in the next few weeks. You can fold as little or as much as you want. You can still game and surf while running the clients. Works for both Nvidia or ATI as well as CPU. Help TPU aim for the Top 20 in 2009. Just post in the F@H thread and we will help you get started.

i will if its simple enough to get both GPU's folding on my GTX295, last time i was folding, multi gpu was a tad complicated.

you need a second monitor cable and you need to disble SLI and enable a second display. Not too hard, I can walk you through it. That gtx 295 is such a beastly card... im a bit jealous. :toast:

You will be in the top 40 TPU within a week.

im already at 25 bro :) all that from folding months ago :toast:

yeah the GTX295 is beastly :cool: (wanting backplate) ... ill go for it if its easy enough to go back to SLi and game on a whim.

Erm.... No nvidia video card = fail.F@H

I'm considering building a demo machine for work though to sell a few more gaming systems, maybe I'll sli a few GTX 260's on an I7 rig and run it 24/7.

Ineed.... All my systems at home are running ATI cards currently....

But I do handle Nvidia mainly at the shop. I got a guy to run F@H on his SLI GTX280 XXX's and Q9650 when he isn't busy :)

Funny it was built around him using CS4... He doesn't game one bit...

try a program called input director, its about 2mb and free.

lets you control multiple pc's over lan with one keyboard and mouse, works just like a single computer w/multi monitor setup.

thank you. :toast: that will make it easy for me when i get the 2nd rig folding again. I wish i still had the P4s (had 2 s478 P4s one at 2.7ghz other at 3.3ghz killed them both with ~1.7v) and the P3s(not much PPD but better then none)

no worries fellas, shes a miracle little app :rockout:

i can use my desktop, gaming rig and eee pc all with a G5 and G15 with no lag, and theres macro's to lock/unlock the input to the pc your using.

I will be giving it a try when i get a PSU for the 2nd rig :toast:

BTW CPU folding again. have it clocked at 2.87ghz didn't want to go above stock voltage so didn't go higher on the clock. (stock voltage 1.18v)

thanks, im pretty sure i got in the low teens, close to tenth place at one stage, but stopped folding when i got 4870's...

so how can i get this dual gpu folding action a'happenin' ?

As soon as I get my rig 100% finished (maybe this weekend if RL allows) I will try to do this folding thing. but to be honest, I have no clue what to do!! lol :twitch:

If you are saying Photoshop CS4, or Illustrator CS4.... that much GPU power is useless... an 8800gs would do the same job as its really not a GPU intensive program.

There also is a link at the bottom of the download page of the official F@H page. Soon as I get some dummy VGA adapters, going to make good use of 4 of the 6 pci-e slots this board has and fold 3x gtx260s and a 9600gso on it.
