You got any WUs that have 511 points as a value? If so, they are very hard on your GPU clients, and are not worth the value for the effort (hence the name 511s).

If you have any screenshots of FaHMon or Fahspy we might have some suggestions

Because you're folding some 511s on all 4 GPUs?

edit: ninja'ed...

I ran OCCT 3.01 on it and the graphics test found 525 errors. Is it safe to assume this card has problems and should be RMA'd?

Yea try updating the drivers im using 185.65 from the beta section works just fine havent gotten any problems with them when it comes to folding. And make sure everythings is current what have yu gotten your shaders at?

Alright, I have to install FAHMon. I'm in tears here guys, heh

Yeah, I easily drop between 10 and 20% with my 8800GTS (512) when those come up. :)

Shaders are at stock. I'll give those drivers a shot but I doubt it'll help much.

I've installed FAH Mon now but it's currently N/A for everything. Not sure if I set it up right...

point to the fah folder, not the work folder.

I have a guide here:
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...-progress.html

The folders that 3.0 speaks of are (pick the one that applies to you):

Windows Vista GPU client:
C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu

Windows Vista CPU client:
C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-x86

Windows XP GPU client:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Folding@home-gpu

Windows XP CPU client:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Folding@home-x86

The above directories are for the "System Tray" client. If you installed the Console client (when you run it you see a small black "Dos" like window), you need to point FahMon to the folder in which you downloaded and ran the Folding@home console client. This could be anywhere on your computer. For example, if you are like me, you may have put this download on your "Desktop". In that case, you would have to point FahMon to C:\Users\(yourusername)\Desktop\Folding@home-Win32-x86-623

If you use the SMP beta client, and used Xilikon's excellent guides on the FaH site or [H]ordeguides, you should point FahMon to C:\FAH . This is a suggested folder, especially in Vista, to avoid permissions issues.
