At this rate, we'll be at #47 in 4.1 days after we vanquish Vietnam and Portugal!

Wow, that World Domination thing really wasn't a joke.

Well, even though I'm basically retired, managed to cop some very part time doing it consultant work for security on a game remake. Am throwing a little extra cash in the old bank account, going to try for that gtx285, still going to try to get my 280 replaced too. Hopefully I'll be folding again soon! Wish dead cards ect wouldn't happen right before xmas....not helping much either. I'll be back!!!!

And we will be awaiting your triumphant return old friend!!! Let me know if you need anything stateside.

I have a question goalieman077 who is folding for HWC. How does he get 57,000 points in one update?

He only has 100,000, by the way.

The twins (GTX 285s) are being shipped to BFG on Monday, so hopefully they'll be back within a week or two so they can be put back to work!

I got both 8800GT's to fold in the same board.Only problem is i had to make one of them run 4x.. The problem with that is i took about a 1.2k PPD hit i'm going to have to try something else i'm not too happy about that.. (maybe oc the PCI-E bus alittle? or see if my board will work with 8x)

EDIT: overclocking the PCI-E bus alittle made the drop only 100ppd so i think i will just leave it alone now i can live with that small of a hit.

Awesome!
So you're pulling in ~6000 each on the 353s?
I really need to get a real cooler for my 8800GT so I can OC, 5.75k isn't good enough any more

EDIT:

Wow, that World Domination thing really wasn't a joke.

And we'll be overtaking Poland, Russia, and Brazil after that

My challenge to the team: Overtake Brasil no later than Christmas day. I know, not too hard, but a challenge nontheless

Tonight when I go to bed, very soon, I'm going to bring up bigboy one last time. If he makes it all night, I've got a 280 back! I'm also trying to get a 285, I will also fold on that. My 9800gtx is going back in my server to fold 24/7. I seem to have possibly solved my 280s problem, it's running now. (crosses fingers) I've gamed and folded on it for 4-5 hours now, at full oc, stable as sh*t. Watch, it will crap out permanently at 2pm tomorrow. I just jinxed myself. I'm not kidding, 2 $500 cards in a row. Now I want this card to prove me wrong, pray for me!!!!! More crysis warhead to push it.......

 

[johnspack]

If this is some kind of xmas miracle, then I'll be dammed. I expect it to blow up again, but for now my gtx280:

I'm pulling in 6228ppd each on the 8800GT's now that i OCed the PCI-E bus. also keep in mind next week i will have another 8800GT to add

here is Fahmon benchmark numbers for the 8800gt once EDIT:sorry i was wrong i didn't look at the numbers vary close... So here are the points for each 8800gt,
8800gt_1(630/1915)
Min. Time / Frame : 48s - 6354.00 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 48s - 6354.00 ppd
8800gt_2(700/1856)
Min. Time / Frame : 49s - 6224.33 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 49s - 6224.33 ppd

Alright guys, I have a GTS250 and a few 9500GT's folding and have been climbing the ranks quickly.

I know there are a lot of people with more and faster cards..
Get folding!

may not be the fastest cards but still an help how many PPD are you putting out?


BTW it takes alot to hang in the top 20 producers. About a year ago i was in top 20 no problem with just 1 8800gt

The 9500's kick out around 1500PPD the GTS250 holds around 6800PPD, my total is somewhere around 9800PPD take or leave.

I'm waiting for Nvidia to make a show against the new ATI line so I can maybe buy one to replace my 4850 and get that machine folding too.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

if its true the nvidia 3xx cards will put out more PPD then any card out ATM.

you can get your 4850 folding if you want its just around 4k ppd not much but still not bad.

I think I let it take a run for a few days and was getting like 3300, that's a lot of heat for 3300points...

I have a tri-sli board I have been highly considering grabbing a bunch of 9600's or the new efficient 9800s and sticking them in it.

Try and have a look at this link. He most have 2 CPU setup and run the bigdaddys fast enough to get the bonus. Makes me think that I have a workshop that needs to be heated a bit during winter time. An i7 920 at a slight overclock can make 25.000 PPD.

It's the re-credit from the 12th. I still have about 50k coming.

25.000 PPD?

An i7 scores a bit more than 25 ppd doing F@H, or if you meant 25,000, it scores a world less than that.

25,000 WCG points I could see ... Maybe... Not BOINC.

25-35000 PPD depending on the clock you aim for. Why do you guys think I want to OC my i7 920 and set it up to run -bigadv? It'd go from 5600-6000 PPD to 25-35k PPD. That's a pretty tasty free upgrade.

Whoa that's no joke... Jeeebus.

i have a little problem:
my second 8800 gt wont fold... if i start FAH with a -GPU 0 flag, it will run,
but as soon as i try to fold on the other card with -GPU 1, FAH tells me that my GPU is not supported, or needs a current driver.
if i just start another FAH, without Flag, the first card will spilt its power in both... is this normal?

 

[El Fiendo]

Its because they currently get an additional time bonus. I'm not certain 100% certain what the bonus is, how it works, or how long it will continue to be used. In the meantime however, I plan to take advantage of my hardware.

It talks about the bonus here, and its based on how fast you complete the WU compared to its deadline. It only applies to be on these -bigadv workunits.

Sounds like you do not have the desktops extended to each monitor(card). You may have to re-load drivers after extending the second desktop.

I'm waiting for someone on the team to complete a round of the big WU and see the results.

i don't have to extend my desktop to get both cards to work.

What drivers are you running? also PM me if you want some SS of my settings

Well tonight I'll be adding a passkey to my username, as well as trying on my new clocking gloves. Unfortunately it'd be around Tuesday at the earliest before my 10 required work units are done.
