so, what does the program use more, the gfx card or the cpu and ram? Will it work faster with the gfx overclocked or the cpu. Btw my system specs are accurat except the gfx card is at stock currently.

For sure your gpu will crush more WU.Overclocked only the shader core.You can add smp client to the 3 other core of your cpu.Ask advice to BUCK NASTY or mmaakk

lol, my system was slightly unstable running F&H and watching a DVD, working the forums and talking on im all at once, until i upped my gfx card. should i unlink it and run the shader clock higher then normal? does it show much of a difference?

I have a GTX 280 on the way, will be curious to see how much better things roll. The screen with the proteins looks really cool.

I only show one instance running with my rigs. How many Fahcore a0 or a1 do you show in Task Manager Processes? It should be 4 Fahcores for -SMP.

I have not run SMP for a long time now, but it always took a slight increase in Vcore to run SMP on what I thought was a stable machine.

You need to dump the system tray client and download the console client. Yea, the folding atoms look cool, but its killing your production having the GPU render those visuals. Please swap it. Download Fahmon to monitor the client progress. We will help you set it up.

Nope, your good. That's the same thing i have(4 cores running under 1 SMP instance). Just make sure the smp cores are not running on the same CPU core as the GPU client(s).

I had the other one, but it kep crashing, so got this one. I have the visuals x'ed out and i run about 100 per min. Between 11:22 to 11:42 i went through 2000 on the machine. Ive raised the shader clock to 3/4 stable and the system is fine. I have F&H running on 2 of the 4 cores, both cores are at around 98%. the gfx card is overclocked about 40%, except the shader clock which is way off.

I think the folding atoms are cool for a screen saver, will be using it as one, especially during parties.

Oh, what did you mean by Please swap it.

I meant swap the Tray Client for the Console Client. Console is more efficient at producing PPD.

it was crashing on stock, even on a overclock that is 12hours stable on furmark. I think it might have been a driver issue or something. Thus i found the next one and that one seem to work great.
