Yes guys and we're talking 4-5k PPD on single cards.

Also some of you guys are going to need this... http://forums.overclockersclub.com/?showtopic=81435

I'm folding for another team now, but I can confirm ~4500ppd on a E8500, + GeForce 8800GTX.

christ, thats alot. Imagine what a q9770 with a quad 9800 setup would give.

Not a lot more.

'Cos its only single card support for now IIRC. Processor doesn't seem to matter much either. Guys are hauling a$$ with AMD chips too.

The NVidia 280GTX is ripping the floor up with 8-9k PPD taking home.

Tried it on a 9600GT yesterday and was getting about 1400 PPD from it - not as great as the above claims but still a hell of a lot more than the CPU clients.

Ya.. you SHOULD be getting x2 this?

I cant confirm for sure but does this only work on 8/9000 series cards ?

It only works on CUDA-enabled graphics cards:

I run f@h on an 8800gtx. Question: It goes to sleep sometimes after sending results and doesn't download a new job. I find a restart of the client fixes it. Is there something wrong with my config?

Other question. Why does the gpu do so much more work than my cpu (AMD64 dual core 4400)?

challengemaster · 30-10-2008 6:59pm

because GPU's are way more powerful.

zilog_jones · 30-10-2008 7:00pm

What's it saying in the log after it sends results? You should check out the official forums to see if anyone's having the same problems: http://foldingforum.org/

GPUs aren't necessarily more powerful, they are just designed for more specific purposes.
