I have new intelligence straight from enemy headquarters! I don't know if this is actually secret, but I sure as hell didn't know.

No dummy plugs required? SLI enabled? That's major for nVidia if true.

Yeah, I read about that and got really excited; SLI and no dummy plugs!! :D I tried to install the new drivers and an hour or two latter managed to get my rig working again by uninstalling, cleaning, re-installing several times. :wtf: Didn't want to screw up my crunching and folding ppd too much, so I put it on hold.

Well, it doesn't matter too much to me. When I bought the components for one dummy plug, I bought enough to make 10. But for in the future or for new builders, this is huge news.

I don't know what a Canuck is, but I'm pretty sure I don't like 'em.

I don't know if this type of newb question is answered somewhere already in a FAQ or something, but . . .

Does F@H validate (use a quorum) results? Because my 4850 and 8400GS have been going for nearly a day and my point total for the day so far is under 1k. Also, the 8400 seems to crunching something called 'test code a' or something like that. Waz up?

Well from what I understand, yes, F@H uses a quorum to validate results. However I believe you get points for a completed work unit no matter what and don't know if your work unit was good or not. This is probably because a work unit with an error usually throws an EUE (Early Unit End), stops at that percentage, and earns you no points.

What I think you're experiencing, though I can't prove its true, is I've noticed a 6-9 hour lag in results getting reported that I hadn't seen when I first started. This could be on their end and its a technical issue that they have to solve, or it could actually be programmed that way. Anyways, when I stop folding, I usually keep turning results for the next 6+ hours and then it dies down. I always get the points in the end though.

Stanford's stats page is very very slow. Half the time I can't even get in because they're servicing too many connections, and the other half is because they're doing an update.

I'd like to make a correction. I'm wrong. It's not so much a quorum, but its similar. The thing is we calculate ~4ns of a protein / atom / whatever's travel. Then another person calculates the next ~4 ns. So on so forth. It's more complex than what I can summarize as I'm only halfway through this article.

At the end of the day / week / month / however long this WU takes to complete, it could end up being a correctly folded protein. It doesn't matter if its not as they say they get valuable results from correctly folded / misfolded proteins. This combines with our console client detecting the obvious machine errors and ending the unit early to help keep the results in line I suppose.

Ok, I just restarted my Folding (for the weekend) and the first WU I completed was for 787 points. What shows up on EO's stat page? 336 points! What's up with that?

Has anyone folded on a MSI P6NSLI-Diamond? (MS-7320-010) It's an older 775 with 4 version 1 PCI-e slots. Has NVIDIA® nForce 680i SLI SPP+570i SLI MCP.

With your GTX 275 alone you should be able to get over 9,000 ppd.

Hertz9753 is correct, 9K is accurate for a GTX275 with the current Work Units. My Q9550@3.9Ghz was folding @ 3550ppd with a 1760pt Work Unit. Looks like you could squeeze 12.5k out of that rig.

Some work units produce more PPD than others. Certianly if you were using the computer, that would cripple your PPD as well.
