Makes me wish I folded here instead....But I can't abandon my team. They're my 2nd team already...

@Jon. Wtf are you folding with? LOL. Everything in your sig? 15k in 24 hours.....>.<

Lol +1 to that!

Looks like Sky and the top dogs here are really supporting the folding team, and soon the crunching team. They have been including some F@H stats in reviews lately, which is quite difficult, but very appreciated. This contest is just another show of support.

Gotta say this is a great group of guys to fold with, and a great site to do it for! maybe its the Guinesses talking, but I love you guys!

Don't forget about the Boinc Team sky

Most of the new members have kick ass GPUs, they're just cruising up the ladder


OMFG dont stop at 15k

It was 3 Gtx 260s, but as of a few minutes ago, the 4 Gtx 260's in my sig now. I'm hoping for a little more then 20000 ppd!

Haha, dont worry I was just kidding, I'm going to fold anyways. I'm not sure how long I can run 4 cards in the summer for though... It might get a little to warm.

I am using the system tray and not the command line client. I followed the directions on the F@H website, created the second folder and then disabled the SLI in the NVidia control panel after I hooked up a second monitor. I am using the beta 185.65 drivers in Windows Vista x64 and FAHSpy says I should be getting 13000 ppd with just the GPUs folding. I set up some fan profiles in RivaTuner and right now the cores are 70/73 with the fan cycling between 70% and 80% as core 1 hits 71C.

No, just using the one GPU system tray client.

If you overclock the shaders a bit you should be good for ~24,000 ppd easy running 4x 260's, with a decent OC and good WU they can do over ~7000 ppd each. For reference my rig2 with one SMP and 2 GPU clients does ~15,000 ppd as long as I don't get the 511pt WU's.

As for the heat issue, that's why you've got to get the ppd before the weather get's nasty...

BAH! So your Fairhaven boxen alone beats the 6+ machines I have working....

... I hate you people!

I think this means I need newer hardware.

Coincidently, what would you say the machine in my sig *should* be doing for PPD?

Your 260-216 should be good for 6500 to 7500 ppd depending on WU and how high you clock the shader's. My GTX+'s have the shader's at 1998MHz and usually do ~6000 ppd each.

The Q6600 @3.0 GHz running the standard SMP will do 1800 to 2400 again depending on WU. If you run two linux clients in VM's you could easily do 3600+ ppd.

A closer comparison would be my Wandernaught boxen which will usually do ~8000+ ppd again depending on WU's.

As alway's YMMV...

Love the names yu use wandernaught and Fairhaven.
