I don't know about beat, but this sure deserves to be in the conversation, especially if you like single rail, and don't mind a rebate.

I have one of those and they are some greta PSUs but yeah the rebate thing is what most of the time people steer away from.

EDIT: That Antec TP750 just now went up to $129.99 from $94.99 so you know it's good

Well I picked up the Antec True Power New Blue 750 from a local seller and got it all wired up. Now I am ready for some GT300 (or GTX295) goodness, just see what comes along

Now you have to thank bogmali for pointing this PSU out to you.

I saw it first on my local CL and its not the same, mine has a blue led- obviously good for an additional 10A on the 12v rails

Serious question though for the Antec 750w users, how much 12v fluctuation are you getting? WCG0 in my specs sees 2% (12.35 idle to 12.16 load) when maxed out folding and crunching, which I think is normal, just wondering what it will be like with a serious draw from something like a 295.

Since last Sunday I have been folding 24/7 on this rig.

Q9450@stock
XFX 780i
4GB G.Skill ram
2 GTX 260 216
GPU 602
Shaders 1350
Mem. 1026
WD 750 Maxtor320
Antec TruePower 750

This system has been solid since then. PPD 13,000-16,000.

One more thing. Can someone clarify for me what performance hit (if any) will be had if I run a GTX 275 and GTX 260 216 in the same comp for F@H? I thought I read that the difference in shader count will decrease output on the 275. Just seeing how things would work out if I pick up an SLI mb. Thanks!

With the 190.68 drivers, I believe the card mixing issue has been resolved. Those cards are close enough in architecture that I don't think it will be a problem.

I also have two GTX275's, if I had the money either card would be a nice addition in my 780i.

So how do I get my 9600GSO to fold? It's in on my board with the 4870. The drivers are up to date, it has a monitor connected to it. I just can't find any setting in my F@H-gpu to where I can set it to 2 gpu's or however I need to do it.

Read here.

That 'how to' isn't exactly for your situation, but setting it up will likely be very similar.

I think you will need to use a shortcut with the flag "-gpu 0" or "-gpu 1" to force the F@H client to access the GSO.

NOW that you're in the right forum....
EnergyFX has pointed you in the right direction.
Here's my 2 cents. I don't have your setup, but I have switched between ATI and NVIDIA.
Hopefully you don't too hard getting this figured out. The big thing that I see is that you will have to rerun the client setup and create a separate folder since this will be a Nvidia client instead of an ATI client. You could start by trying the gpu0/gpu1 switches with your existing client to figure out which position your ATI card is at. If you guess wrong with the new (Nvidia) client, you will have to start over since the client will customize itself to the hardware it found.

Anyone having issues with connecting to Stanford's servers? Here is my issue and it is kinda weird.

Back up rig, 3X8800GT (G92 Core). 15-17K PPD depending on WU. I woke up this morning to find this:



All three clients connect to the same server, gpu-0 and 2 are stuck unable to submit work completed and pull more while gpu-1 is chugging along with no issues. WTF.......Right now I'm stumped Anybody know what is going on?

Alright well I followed that guide, and it's still not working. I'm getting a black screen for the display, the 9600GSO fan isn't revving up or anything, then it says there was a serious error in the .core and it's shutting down.

What system are you running? I think only Win7 can run ATi and NVIDIA drivers at the same time. Not sure though.

Try the 9600 alone in the system to rule it out as the problem. Unless you've already made sure it works.


Did you extend your monitor to the second desktop? I'm not sure how it works with two different manufacturer cards, but I'm pretty sure it needs to treat it like 2 desktops still.

Well, it's showing up in GPU-z and Rivatuner and any other programs. I haven't actually tested it by itself, I guess I could if it's necessary.

Its in the second slot yes? (4870 is the main card)

Add in to the shortcut's target ' -gpu 1 -forcegpu nvidia_g80

If the 9600 is the main card, make it -gpu 0

That forces the card to be recognized as folding capable. With the latest driver set you shouldn't need a dummy plug on the back to trick it into thinking a monitor is there. Try this first though, we'll worry about adding dummy plugs later.

OK, I'll try the forcegpu command. We don't need to worry about dummy plugs or anything, it has its own monitor connected to it.
Oh, and it's in the second slot, with my 4870 in the main one.

If it doesn't work, have a look here.

Its unverified if this method works yet as no one has tested it.
