Alright fullas.

I'm going to fire up this F@H thingy for the Chimptastic Competition.

Hardware is in the sig. Off to the pub shortly so will probably have to finish the setup over the weekend.

Thanks for answering the call to arms. Post in the Tech assistance thread if you need any help setting up. We also have teamviewer available to simplify the process.

Basically, everything you need to know is in our Setting up GPU2 on ATI cards! thread. Don't bypass the Environmental Variables, step 5.

I hate forums for sharing knowledge. Yes it might be there, but Where? Our F@H team thread has over 300 pages of posts! Anyway, enough of my rant. Read post #24 in that same thread.

I'm hoping to start folding on my main rig, and possibly my older PC if I cant get it hooked up to the network again.

I think I've got the client working ok, but it doesn't seem to do any work just hangs at 0 out of xyz.

Once the CPU one works I'll try getting my 5770 and 4830 folding as well.

Hey guys, thanks for folding for the team, but remember it's more about what we are folding than folding for the team.

Are they in the same system? You can't use 2 different ATI generations in the same system at the same time. If that's the case, pull the 4830 and F@H on the 5770.

They are in the same system, do you mean it won't work as in you can't fold on both? Cause they certainly both work apart from that.

From ATI support:
Quote:
NOTE: Identical series are required whether or not ATI CrossFireX is activated. Generally, Windows is unable to properly assign separate resources to individual drivers for graphics cards.
Count yourself lucky that you're getting both to work. You might be able to use -gpu x -forcegpu ati_r700 (where x= 0 or 1) to get the 5770 to Fold. If you can only get one to Fold, the 5770 will use less power and get about the same PPD.

I don't see why two wouldn't work side by side, I've had various ATI cards work side by side and I've never had problems.

Just started folding again, big props to Buck Nasty for helping me set things up. Currently running a GT 240 24 hours and a GTX 460 when I'm at home. Starting tomorrow, I'll have the GTX 460 in the 24 hour rig and the 240 running when at home.

Don't forget to give the the brand/model of the GTX460. I would love to "recreate" you PPD on that card

This is the card I'm using: EVGA 768-P3-1360-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB ...

Strange thing is, it is stock clocked at 720mhz, and not what they list.

My clocks for folding are 875/1750/1800 stock voltage. Fan runs at 55% and temps haven't gone above 45c. Results in about 14100 PPD.


My GT 240 (Galaxy) at stock (550mhz GPU) is good for about 4000 PPD.
