jporter12 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I've turned just under 4k points since turning them on around midnight last night. Should work out to around 9-10,000 daily if things stay the same. I could throw folding on my two storage servers also and start rocking a pair of nvidia 8800gt's for another couple thousand a day. The only problem is they are single slot coolers and the fans are dreadful running near 100%. My gtx260's currently only need about 60% fan speed so the noise isn't as bad.I need to work out the SLI stuff, because I have 2 9800gt's that I could be using, instead of just one.

vf1000ride Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 You need the high performance client from here;http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOtherThen follow the directions from this page;http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGPUGuide#ntoc4for the multi-gpu system. I have to turn off SLI to get the cards to run properly. The new nvidia drivers seem to be a lot better at switching between SLI and not without crashing the pc. Makes it easier when I turn off folding to go back to gaming and get the cards back in sli mode.Oh and I added my F@H stats to my sig.

Scruit Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Shit. The only folding that goes on at my house is in the laundry room, right after she gets me a beer and a sammich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks to everyone for your input. I switched the quadcore's folding to the graphics card. After watching the folding progress from the graphics card, I disabled folding from the old experimental machine. As soon as I raise my personal team score to something beyond pathetic, I'll switch to the Ohio-Riders team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1 out of 2 cores on my desktop folding, and the video card, soon to be 2 cards, once I get it working right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 The folding contribution from the graphics card is so large that the other contributions seem negligible, but I might look into it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing it to see how much I can contribute, not to see how many points I can get! The points just put some fun into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Dunno, I haven't tried that one. I'm big on the science/astronomy. Running SETI, Einstein and Galileo. Finding aliens, x-ray sources, and gravitational anomalies. That's my thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienpi Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I need to get a new graphics card. It started glitching, and I went back to onboard graphics. Been working on different machines lately, I need to hook my experimental machine back up. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Unfortunately I have not had my machine folding in months. I couldn't support the extra electrical bill by having both computers and 4 video cards at 100% 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Folding sucks. Especially the socks. I hate matching up the socks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
