I had some problems in the past with 9xxs but this were with two different 68xxs. I think that the card is toast and will try to get a replacement. My old trusted GB 260 OC took its place but...noise, power and PPD is just not the same.

Just confirmed the psu for my 2nd folding rig. I'm aiming for a 50k ppd peak. Wish me luck! I may even try to fold my e8400 if there's any point....

Something interesting as of late GPU tracker V2 on 6801's drops my points from 15-17 k PPD to 10-11 PPD, as it seems to strugle to max the GPU to 99% it fluxuates from 60% -79% but never beyond 79% anyone else having this problem GPU Tracker V2 ( version 3.52 ) , on a GTX 470 (of any kind ( mine is EVGA GTX 470 SC+)) ?

Also this seems to be the case across all 3 of my GTX 470's (all the same model ) regardless of team or machine.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

The PSU is all cleaned up and ready to be packaged, I'll post a picture after I go to the gym.

Just verified it works and passed the PSU checker, the only free cord I have is only a 10 amp cord, I'll look to see what I can find, and hopefully I will find something a little more robust to include with the PSU unless you have one that will work.

Hmm, I'll have to see what cables I have left over from my strider. Think i used all pci-e cables... darn, psus are a pain!
I have an entire core2 system with 4gigs ram and 2 hds ready to go, just no psu, aaaarg!
One more psu to go...:

So which cord needs to be upgraded on yours? I'm not sure which one you are referring to yet.

I meant the power cord to power the PSU it's only a 10 amp cord so it's kinda weak for a 800 watt PSU, which never mind I found a cord I had laying around that is brand spanking new for a 1200 watt Antec PSU so you know it's quality.

Alright fair enough, I'll through one in anyway.








I restarted the GPU V2 client and all PPD seems to be back to normal, which is good, but I have never had my PPD drop randomly like that, I will see if the issue persists and then post it on their forums.

Has anyone else seen a change in the PPD for the 494 point WU's? My 8800GTS has historically done just under 5000 PPD on the 494's. (this has been on XP or Win7) Over the weekend, it EUE'd on one (odd) and when I restarted it, it's now getting a consistent 5335 PPD! I see 2 items in the log file and HFM.net: 1.) it downloaded FahCore_11.exe because it said - Core is not present or corrupted and 2.) HFM.net indicates that it's a new project for me.

My output has been on the decline because I am in the midst of upgrading hardware and trying to win a GTX560 over at Bjorn3d. I'm getting a X-650 PSU on Wednesday, so I should be back up at full force by Friday, depending on what contest they're running next month. (in the past I've been able to get by with only one of my Athlon64's Folding Uniprocessor for them, about 125 PPD) When I crank everything up for Chimp, I expect to reach around 35K for the duration. I hope that when I move my GTX460 over to the new i5-650 platform that I quit getting the error 63's that have my average for that card down to around 8300PPD. (how can I get an error associated with permissions on a XP system?) Anyone have any idea what PPD I can get with the i5-650 at 4GHz? Or will I have to go higher to get the SMP bonus?

Lastly, for those of you interested in bigadv on Linux: New BigAdv-optimised Linux kernel available

For the 560's:http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...ostcount=13577

I think the 550 will be only a little bit better than the 450. It's basically a 450 GPU on a 460 PCB. No additional shaders, unlike the 560. IMHO, purchasing priority (for F@H) would be 460/768MB, GTS450 (one than can OC well) and then the 560. The 470 might be a better bet than the 560, considering the prices that they can be had for.

Anyone used the new 270.51 beta drivers yet? Seems like the gamers got some big improvements, not sure about us though.

Depending on the client that you're using, see the tutorials thread here:

Not really, are using a GPU or CPU client? Is it the console or the systray version or the FAH GPU tracker?

Tracker will have problems with those 2 6870's. Seems most can get one working, but not the second one.

Go and download this it will auto detect most of your hardware, you will have to enter your desired name to fold under and your team but TPU is on the team quick select, the setup guide can be found here and it is simple enough even a monkey could do it.

But as stated previously you will not have much luck getting 2 cards to run at the same time or PPD production either with AMD silicon, but if you want to fold that is the quickest and simplest way to do so.

The client also has a gaming mode that will pause clients when you run games.
