I started the SMP client today on my Q6600 @2.4 GHz, and it's giving me over 1800 PPD with WU
Project: 2653 (Run 5, Clone 49, Gen 98) (1760 points). That enables me to get 10000 PPD again after good old v1.15 GPU core and project 501x WU times. I have 64bit Windows Vista and 2 GPU clients running causing about 4% CPU usage. I could test 1333 MHz FSB to get at 3.0 GHz, but I don't know whether my boxed cooler can handle all the heat.

If someone is interested, here are some PPD of my GF8800GT GPU's with v1.19 core
with 384 point WU's:
gpu0: about 4000, clocks: 600/1500/900 (default)
gpu1: about 4400, clocks: 650/1625/900 (stock OC)
with 480 point WU's:
gpu1: about 5000
with 511 point WU's:
gpu1: about 3400

I'm thinking of running my q6600 in a virtual machine running linux and run smp for 2 cores there. Has anyone else tried this yet? I found out that the reason my laptop outscores my desktop (cpu wise anyways) is because it uses the a2 core which is more efficient. I could then run a regular client on the other free core and leave one core for the gpu.

Also, if I were to use the onboard video card instead of my 4850 and use the 4850 exclusively for folding, would I see any big difference in ppd?

Suggestions? Comments? Thanks.

Everyone running GPU2/Nvidia please report in on the Work Units you are getting. I'm on my second day of 511pt units and it's killing my farm, along with the heat and EUE's. I have only been getting work from 171.67.108.11 for every GPU I have. Anyone know how to select another server without blocking the problematic one?

Buck, for the last 3 days I'm getting all, but 511pt WUs. Getting specially 384pt.

I get hit by mostly 384's. The server is getting a weird mix of everything, it's on a 480 right now. Should be some relief though, new projects coming out that are smaller and faster :http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.ph...t=7590&start=0 check it out!

about how many PPD would a 8600GTS give me? my 2nd rig is going to be down till i get a new PSU. I need a PSU and a video card for it so i am thinking of just getting a 8600GTS from a friend for dirt cheap and using it in my main rig for now.

hello stanhemi!

How was your 4850 ppd before 1.22 core?

Every little bit helps out. Besides, every Folding Team needs a crazy pyro onboard

On another note, Johnspack posted earlier about the new work units. Check out my 8800GTS G92 cranking almost 7k PPD on the new WU's with v1.19. With a few more optimizations , my 8800GS/9600GSO's might be back to their previous production. Nice work Pande Group!!!

buck could you tell me if you had any problems running 2 nvidia cards on a AMD chipset? If so what were they and how did you overcome them? I am going to be adding another card in my rig that is using a 790GX chipset

I have no problems with the AMD chipset , I am currently running:

4 x MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX (4 x PCI-e)
1 x Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H 780G (2 x PCI-e)
1 x ASUS P5Q Pro (2 x PCI-e)

So, as you can see, my farm consists of all AMD chipsets except for the P5Q which is Intel. All my cards are Nvidia. I have not experienced any compatibility issues whatsoever. The only downside is I can never run Sli

Hey Lightofhonor! I did try the "FLUSH_INTERVAL". High values, low, in between... I didn't notice results. CPU usage, same crap, I mean hi values.

Flushing is most of the time something important in life... but not really for ATI folding.
