Whats wrong with the MB you have?

 

[johnspack]

I really have no idea, but it is sick. It went stupid on me again, and now it won't even run windows at stock settings. I'm in the middle of pulling it out again, I can't keep messing with it.....
Edit: Deluxe it will be, 4 weeks countdown till I'm back up and folding again..tick tick tick...

what card is worth more points a 8800GTS(G80) or 3870

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Anyone interested in an 8800GS? (now called the 9600gso) There's one listed on CL and I would not mind helping someone get ~4000PPD. He's advertising it like it's God's gift to gamers and wants 3 times what it's worth, but I would not deal with him unless I could get him down to ~$30, so just add shipping to that price. It is made by EVGA.

John, you keep having all types of problems. Multiple whacked out motherboards. I had a computer that was doing everything that I needed and it became unstable. I upgraded most everything but continued to have problems. Upgraded again but still the same things. RMA'd a motherboard with no change. Finally found out it was the keyboard!!!!! You have what should be a good PSU, but even Corsair has some bad ones. Try to think of what things you've had in common with all these troublesome builds and try rotating them out. I never knew that a KB could wreck such havoc. I've had cd/dvd drives mess things up, especially old cd drives. Using an old sound card? Hope this helps.

POSPC: 8800GTS by a long shot, but they use more power than the G92 series. Did you see the deal at Fry's on a GTS250?

 

[johnspack]

Actually, I did try other keyboards, mice anything I could think of. All I know is this old athlon mobo I have will probably fire right up and be fine. Believe it or not, I am a certified, college educated computer techie. I can't make this intel board behave, and it has degraded since I first got it. I'll bet you any money, if I replace the mobo with a new one, it will work fine. Until then, I'm ripping my system apart and putting back in the athlon stuff. I think new parts are always the best.....

no i didn't see it but i am getting it as part of a trade

 

[johnspack]

Yep, just brought up this old athlon system using all the same parts, kb, mouse, everything. Oh well, at least I'm pretty sure the e8400 is good! See ya all in a month!
Edit: dam, this old athlon mobo is kinda snappy! Now I know that intel mobo is kindling. Going to make a nice fire!
Edit2: I'm so sure that I'm right about this mobo, that I'm going to do half of next month without food, again... to buy this dam deluxe mobo. Who needs to eat?

Eating is highly over rated and....fattening

 

[johnspack]

Haven't done it months! Altho my doctor keeps saying I should, bahhh! I want that deluxe mobo with 16 phase power, no more bs... yes, I'm crazy, certified! so I'm allowed. Stupid 3rd lane at 4x, what's that about?
Edit: I can verify now that my athlon system is stable. I will be purchasing a new p5q deluxe mobo in 4-5 weeks. Until then I won't be folding, I need to ensure I have at least one stable computer I can use. You guys have multiple systems, don't need to worry about being dead in the water! I do. I'll be back as soon as I get my new deluxe mobo, and will fold full blast again! Fold On!

i have 1 client running on my 295 and im getting an average ppd of 8600.

does that seem about right?

 

[johnspack]

I got 9k ppd on my 280, so not really right...

 

[hertz9753]

That's about what I get with the 1888 pt. WU's on my GTX 275's.

8600 PPD what WU is your client working on?

Reason I asked is because my OCed GTX260_192 card gets close to 9K

 

[Fitseries3]

keep in mind... this is 1 gpu core. not both on a single "card"

its not OCed or anything.

from what i've heard the 295's perform a bit differently than 2 separate cards of the same.

gpu0 will get say 8600ppd and gpu1 will get 7500ppd

on a single CARD. not 2x295s.

 

[Fitseries3]

ok... i OCed a bit and its at 9790ppd

 

[hertz9753]

ok... i OCed a bit and its at 9790ppd

That sounds about right for a 353 WU.

 

[Fitseries3]

yes.. 353pointer

similar on the 787 pointers as well

i havent seen any big ones yet and i did set -advmethod flag

 

[EnergyFX]

Fit, you're right where you should be for one core. Essentially you're running a roided 260, right... main difference overall being that you've got a second one sitting right there next to it waiting to go.

BTW, no need to OC the core or memory... just the shaders.

 

[Fitseries3]

if my plan works out i should have 6x the ppd very soon.

i'll let you figure that one out

 

[johnspack]

Again, I got 9k ppd on both the 353 and 787 pointers on my 280. wonder what 2 would get? My new deluxe mobo should do that very nicely! If I'm willing to spend most of my disability cheque to get a new mobo, would someone match a folding card? Like even a 8800gs or whatever? You'd have to be in Canada, or the shipping is too much. Don't worry, this won't be until end of month.....

What do you mean by "match a folding card"?

Pete, I have no problem buying stateside and shipping to you as before. The savings could be significant.

I haven't been keeping up with your hardware shenanigans lately, but if you still have the setup from a few months ago then I have an idea what you've got up your sleeve.

If I'm right that's about 50k of possible PPD from that setup alone.

That is a nice PPD from a 280. But to answer your question, here's mine:
