Amen to that my brothers. Daily I plot my purchases, count my pennies, and look forward to massive folding potential. Maximize PPD's per watt is my Manta.

I guess I should add dollars somewhere in that equation.

I think I set a personal best for WU's yesterday! The total points for the day was also good. End of summer sale?

Let's hope that the g300 series BLOWS away the g200's, causing lots to sell their g200's and driving down the used prices. I can dream, can't I? Others on the efficient list are the 9800 GX2, the 8800gt 256MB, and the 8800gs/9600gso's (192 bit, DDR3).

Anyone in Canada, NCIX has asus 96-shader 9600gsos on special for $49can! If they repeat this sale around my cheque day, I'm grabbing one.

Dammit, not that dreaded 128bit 9600GSO missing 4 ROP's again!!!

JayliN · Sep 11, 2009, 05:55 PM

almost bought a 8rop 9600gso when it was $35AR at newegg a few weeks ago. Saw the 128bit memory (unaware of the lower rop) and decided to pass. Thankfully I did

johnspack · Sep 11, 2009, 08:17 PM

Darn, it is 128bit. One of the buyers posted in ncix. Back to looking at used cards for me!

thebluebumblebee · Sep 11, 2009, 08:57 PM

WOW!

All I can say is WOW and THANKS. 729,972 points in the last 24 hours according to EO stats! 16 people 10K PPD or better. Welcome and thanks to those new to the fold, (couldn't help myself) I won't attempt to name all of you, because I'm afraid of missing someone. According to Kakao stats, I managed 9018 points in the last 24 hours yet that places me in 22nd place. That used to be good for about 14-16th place!
Way to go EVERYONE!

Consider yourself "patted on the back"!

I read where a guy was using 2 gtx 295's for folding and his electricity bill was $300 per month! Ack!

hertz9753 · Sep 12, 2009, 03:15 AM

It looks like DeadThings is folding for HWC today. At the last update on EOC he 61,000pts for the day.

I find that very hard to believe. A GTX295 uses less electricity than 2 9800GTX+'s at load, at least the twin board version, and only slightly more (like 12 watts) than the GTX 285. The new single PCB 295 uses more electricity.

Depends on lots of things. Mainly where you live and how much electricity costs. When I lived in New York City during one particularly hot summer, we spent $500 per month just running 3 air conditioners. Here in northern California, electricity is relatively cheap, I have no A/C and my electric bills are about $35-$40 per month. In NYC they burn oil to make power, here we have hydro and natural gas, plus solar, wind and geothermal. I doubt that guy with the $300 bill owed it all to his PC. Maybe a third of it.

johnspack · Sep 12, 2009, 03:41 PM

Just a note to any Canadian folders, I may be looking for a 8800/9800gt or better used sometime soon. I need to take some load off my gtx card so I can actually use my computer, and I just can't afford $120can for a new card. I just need to verify that this donated mobo works. Fold on!

Careful when doing this with GPU clients running on Vista or Win7 and possibly XP. I have a similar setup, and when I remote into the computers, it causes the client to kill the work unit with an EUE, and you lose any work that has been done on the work unit. It will cause the client to go into a loop where it will try to continue with a new WU, which will also get a EUE, and after it does that for a while the client will flag your machine as unstable and pause work for 24 hours.

It has to do with Windows disabling the physical graphics card when you start a remote session, and using a virtual graphics card.

What about Teamviewer? Does it do the same thing? www.teamviewer.com

WhiteLotus · Sep 13, 2009, 04:50 PM

Hey guys,

I'll be moving into Uni. Halls next sunday and all bills are paid for so i WILL be folding again.

Have they improved the PPD on ATIs front yet or are they still dillydallying around? I think i got around 4000PPD back when i was folding about 6-8 months ago. I will also be using my E8600 to do the ol' crunching.

newtekie1 · Sep 13, 2009, 05:07 PM

Not at all, right now I'm only getting about 2200 PPD with my HD4890. Though I know the ATi folding is a lot more CPU dependant, so my 4200+ might be holding that back some. I think I'm going to replace the HD4890 with a 9600GT I have laying around since I realy only use it to fold.
