Yes, and CPU usage is lower, like 2-3% instead of 100%.

I have a gtx 260 coming next week Thursday. How much of a performance gain should I expect over my 3.5ghz quad?

It depends on setup but here are the ranges
3.5 GHZ quad = 2900 - 3600 PPD
GTX 260 = 5100 - 8200 PPD

Can you post your log from the Folding@home folder.There seems to be something up with your PPD.

Are you getting EUE- early end to workunit - the units and points do not add up in your stats.
Pic of your stats -



You have 9 units and only 384 points ..that is not right

EuE's and NANS! Yeah, you've only got 4 WU's done at that point. Sometimes removing fah and all the extra stuff (and reinstalling) will clean that up. I had problems with those for a while, seems intermittent.

Blah, mine takes 100% running 2 4830's. It is very good at freeing up cpu/gpu when I need to use it though.

I'd love to know if this is a XP/Vista thing or the difference between cards. I'm running an overclocked 3870 (800/1170) on an Asus A8R-MVP with a FX-60 (X2, 2.6GHz). The 3870 has 8 more ROPS and 256bit vs. 128bit memory for the 4670. It keeps one core at 23-48%. My 4830 (at 650/950), on the other hand, PEGS my 3700+. Don't wanna install Vista........

Looking for an opinion. I want EVERYTHING when I buy something, so I'm looking for an efficient, quiet, but still fast folder. I've been looking at a 9800 GTX+, which should be faster, by itself, then everything else I have put together. So, here's my question: which would you pick? A 9800 GTX+ with a standard 9800 GTX spec cooler like this, or one with a G80 cooler like this?

Get the standard one. The shorter one with the single PCI-E power connector had some reports of being unstable, plus it didn't overclock as well as the original version.
