Nice man! OC that cpu to like 3.8 since its a c2 and watch your smp ppd increase Also bump your shaders up on the gtx 470 if you wanna see that thing throw out some real ppd! Not a bad rig at all though!

 

[xbonez]

Would love to OC, but

Previously OC'ed Phenom II refuses to OC

Try to OC the 470 if possible. The PPD on the 470 can get up to 15k PPD at ~750+ core.

Even with the 6800 WU's?

Yes. The GF100/GF110 cards do not see a big impact on PPD as the GF104-8 GPUs when running 6800pt WUs- including the 7202pt WUs. At 752c my 470 still puts out 14.5kPPD across all projects. With 775c I get 14,953 PPD on the 1298pt WUs.

I thought folding really only depended on shader clocks?

You'll see that when referring to clocks with Fermi cards people will list only the core clocks and maybe the mem clocks. This is because unlike the GT200 series the core and shader speeds are linked and cannot be unlinked. Shader always equals double core speed

Will definitely work on OC'ing the 470 over the weekend too. Manually set fan to 60% and temp is stable at 62. Definitely room to OC. I don't mind pushing the fan to 75%. The noise really doesn't bother me.

I'm still lol'ing at how the PPD of my quad core is 25% of my 470.

EDIT
How often are user stats updated online?

Every three hours on the EOC site.

Ahh i see i wouldn't know cause i don't have a fermi

 

[xbonez]

How is the 5850 at folding? Graphics/gaming performance wise, its neck and neck with the 470. Would the same apply for folding too?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

ati SUCK at folding

 

[xbonez]

haha...ok. I was getting a good deal on a 5850, but guess I won't be taking it now

 

[xbonez]

I'm looking for a GTX 460 now for my folding rig. If you guys come across any good deals, please let me know. I'm hoping to spend $100 or less. Note, that this card will be used solely for folding 24/7 on a dedicated rig and for no other purpose. Any special deals for folders, maybe?

 

[TeXBill]

It will be hard to find a gtx460 under $100.00 bucs.

You might be able to find gts450 for that price(maybe)

 

[xbonez]

I'm able to buy a brand new EVGA GTX460 for $140, and a Zotac for $130. I'd assume I'd get a used one for under $100.

EDIT
I guess I should have mentioned in my previous post, I'm looking for used ones. I realize getting a brand new for under $100 ain't happening.

 

[TeXBill]

Yes if you find @ that price buy it, damm good deal. Look for the 768mb version also memory plays no part in folding. If you Find more than one let us know here also, somebody might want it.

 

[Josh154]

Hmm i found a 1gb version evga brand new for $127 shipped. I don't know if i should post the link though me and brandon are thinkin about jumping on them and if we post the link they will be all gone

Your choice, I'm picky I only buy certain brands. I like the ones that have a heatpipe cooler on them as they run cooler and seem to oc further for me.

 

[Josh154]

Let's just say its this card and it's brand new for $127 shipped.

 

[xbonez]

Sounds like a good deal. If you do post the link, I'll definitely grab one.

Question:

In you FAH user page, when it says Active Clients (within 50 days) = x, does it mean that user is running x folding machines?

coz, for example, it shows Josh's as 19. Does that mean, you're running 19 CPUs and GPUs in all for folding?

Hmm it very well could be. I've folded on 5 clients in the last 50 days and i have three other awesome dudes helpin me out so i would think so.

Im not forsure on this though i say we shall wait and see what a more experienced folder can tell us

 

[TeXBill]

I think it means 19 threads folding but basically the samething.

 

[xbonez]

Well, I'm folding on my GTX 470 and on all four cores of my Phenom II x4 965, but it only shows me to have 1 client. This is confusing...lol

That's the SE version you do know that it only has 256-bit memory interface. But that is still better than the 768MB version that only has 192-bit memory interface.
It only has the 288 Processor Cores when the other 460 has 336 Processor Cores.
