I think that a single rig folding with a GPU client will make a great difference for you PVTCaboose1337

Long term speaking, your PPD will have a good boost and you will save in electricity.

The 420pt are majority and the 384pt are back

Thanks stanhemi

Question: I fold SMP only with intel. Does AMD gets different WUs??

Since yesterday, thats it when i started using F@H, im getting only 511 points cores. It takes about a hour for the card to calculate every core ( i measured that t progresses 1% every 1.10minutes or so ). Will i get any other cores with higher/lower points value ?

I'm only getting 225 point WUs for my CPU using normal console client (SMP was fast, but the due date of each WU was too close for me to get it done).
They run very slowly, is there a way to get a higher point WU? I remember the 768 point WUs ran at a slow speed as well, but I'd prefer them.

MightyG80 thanks for joining our fight

Yes, you will. The most common GPU Client WUs at the moment are:

353pt
384pt
420pt
511pt

Where the 353pt is the fastest to fold.

I'm running a smp client on my E1200@1800mhz for 1 month now and every client finish in time so i don't see any reason why your amd@3000mhz can't finish a wu in time

i know the E1200 is alittle faster then the 5kBE clock for clock but i don't think that much..maybe about 400mhz difference

You have potential for more.

Folding 24/7 you should get 6~7K per GPU core. I don't know what's the core7 SMP ppd but I guess minimum 4K PPD. I get 1.9K PPD with an E8400.

My GTX 260 core 216 gives me 7K+ ppd, now with the new 420pt WU.

Yeah I have seen these SMP work units lately as well.

Running the -advmethods flag will download beta units etc earlier, so although the 420pt units are better than the 511pt at the moment..if a worse point unit is released then you will get it earlier running the flag.

So really can be a two edged sword, it really depends on how the new units preform compared to older ones.

This is how I read it...correct me if I am wrong!!
