What is a good clock on the shader?

I am replacing the 9600GSO cards that I have running.
Now they're $71 with free shipping!

They are good solid cards, I have had no problems with the three I am running. A little warm but no bad work so I am happy.

Hmm... I was playing FF8 on my PS2 with my 9600GSO folding. I switched over to HDMI real quick to check on the percentage and there was no signal. I wiggled the cable around on the back of the TV and video card, still no signal. I hit the reset button on my PC and I got video. Odd... the card has been completely stable other than this.

My 4850 gives me anywhere from 1300 to 2000 so i feel your pain. I seen some say they get 3000 to 4000 with a 4850 but I dont see it.

Also, correct me when i go wrong.

8800GT has the same core as the 8800GTX, the 9800GTX+ is a revamped 8800GTX?

If so, could i use a 9800GTX+ in slot one (for games etc.) and two 8800GT's in slot 2 and 3 for JUST folding?

If not, whats the best setup i can do with one powerful card in slot 1, and two cards in slot 2 and 3. (2 needs to be Singleslot, 3 can be quad slot... lol)

Thanks

8800GT is a G92 core(65nm process) and has 112 shaders
9800GTX+ is a G92b core(55nm process) and has 128 shaders
8800GTX is a G80 core(90nm process) and has 128 shaders

You should always combine cards of similar shader count. Different counts will handicap the larger shader card.

Oh so say if I got like a dedicated 8600gt to fold my 9600gso would be crippled because of it? This would be 2 seperate cards, not SLI.

You may see some instability of driver crashes, but it should work.

8600 GT is 32 shaders. For what it would handicap the 9600GSO, you would be better off folding the 9600GSO alone. Less elec used and more PPD produced.

That set-up sounds fine. You may get stuttering in-game with 2 GPU's folding being fed off the same CPU.

I don't think i'll end up doing that though. The ultimate plan is to play and fold with these 8800GT's. Then when the ATi 5 series pushes 4870 and 4870x2 prices down, i'll buy something for my gaming rig and put the 8800GT's in a dedicated rig.

Give it a month or two :P

I mean if I could fold on the 8600gt dedicated and use my 9600gso for gaming, and fold on that too when not in use, just like I do now, only difference would be the 8600gt would be going all the time. Having an 8600gt in my system would handicap my 9600gso??

I figured out how to get the smp client running, I set it for 50% usage, it seems awful slow. What do you guys use when running the smp client?

^^useful comment.

Yeah, SMP work units are pretty big. With my old 5200+ at 2.8GHz, it took like ~18 hours to do a work unit, and that's at 100% cpu usage.

F@H runs on low priority so you can set it to 100% and it still shouldn't bother other things.

Really though its all about efficiency to me, I wanted to Fold on my E2200 but it took 24hrs/WU. Folding is just more efficient on GPUs (also why I use Nvidia over ATI). If you want your CPU to do something useful in a timely manner Crunch for TPU's WCG Team

I need a hand with setting up SMP client on my Acer lappy.
I've gone through all the configuration stuff and given it 85% CPU usage , despite it having been running for 14 minutes it's still saying that it has made absolutely no progress with the WU, am I doing something wrong or is this lappy just incredibly slow at folding?

Im not trying to be rude, but look at my post and Hat's post right above yours. Folding on the CPU (of this class) w/ the SMP Client takes about 24hrs per WU. Nothing is wrong CPUs and Folding just aren't a perfect couple.

It'd been running for almost quarter of an hour and it was still saying 0 out of 25000 steps completed, it should at least have done one surely?

Crazy, does task manager show that your CPU is busy? Sort processes by CPU (highest to lowest) and see what comes to the top
