A $50 NVidia 9600 GSO card will get you like 4000 PPD and leave your processor(s) free for the most part.
You will need Vista, nobody's perfect.

After 24 hours of folding on my 4850 (8.9 drivers) ive only got around 2200 points. This is much lower than what others are getting with older, slower cards. Am i doing something wrong, or are nvidia cards just far more efficient than ATI cards at this? The benchmark machine has an ATI card in it. ...

Upon running both GPU and SMP on my 2GB of memory pc I started getting "low on memory" warnings. I'm using 1.6GB total. So I installed another 2GB and all is well, considering it only sees 3GB total. Is the rest used for anything? Feels a tad quicker. Launch the task manager, select the processes t...

Hey SKeptical Thinker, What are you speed settings? I left everything except the shaders stock: 550/1800/800 The card becomes unstable at shader of 1900 but no BSOD. I cranked up the fan and the temp dropped below 60C, but that made no difference. I'm running at 750/1850/1045 settings in rivatuner....

Dang, there's a decent amount of new folders that I wush would post their info. I don't want to OC very much because my experience has been that the eneergy costs rise faster than the amounts of points gained. In fact that will probably be adquate reason to return this 8800GTS G92, but I will measu...

Re: Post Your GPU Folders and their PPD!
An NVidia 8800GS, low speed, shaders speeded up a bit, about 4189PPD so far. :) Added - Increased shaders again, about 3/4 of the way up the slider, now at 4822 PPD. 8) You have a ways to go.

Re: Is there a utility that will give my GPU temps?
You are correct. I did misread the topic. Speedfan still is a good choice, thoughangelkiller wrote:I think he misread the topic. CoreTemp doesn't do anything but CPU temps AFAIK.SKeptical Thinker wrote:Coretemp is another that I have used.
For a general GPU tool, RivaTuner.

Re: Is there a utility that will give my GPU temps?
There are a bunch. I would start with speedfan, which might enable you to control your fans, depending on motheboard. Coretemp is another that I have used.aristide1 wrote:I think I overheated once already, and I've raised the fan speed since, but I would like to know what's going on.

Its still $119. Actually the king of efficiency is the 8800GT with 256MB. Its not common, NewEgg has none, and Tiger has 1 at $130, one on Amazon over $200, and very few on Ebay. I look at the Tiger $30 premium (this card should be $100) and the break even point in electrical savings is like 2.5 ye...

If I could get a Windows SMP client to work, I'd gain back two fast C2D machines! Much as I hate to say it, a single GPU2 wipes the floor with SMP and can be much more energy efficient too. I'm fine tuning my new SPCR (i.e. as quiet as poss) dual 8800GT folding rig and, currently, I'm getting aroun...

So is anyone GPU2-ing here? I've spent the last week and a half getting the maximum overclock I can get and be folding stable. I have a EVGA 8800 GS 384MB ($64 after multiple price reducers from newegg) that is now running at ~750C/1860S/1025M. It has been stable for more than a day and is producin...

im using the bare minimum for a card - an 8600. It was one that MikeC offered for sale on the spcr lab clearance. mine does 1% every 10-12min. ive been eyeing a GTX 280 or a 9800 card but the noise factor has me very wary of getting one. Great folding and also great short term upgrade for my system...

Re: Decent DC overclocking an a matx case?
Greetings :D I am looking to eventually replace my current rigs with matx setups, specifically the Antec NSK2400 at this time.(I already use 2 of them). My question is: Can I build a decent Q6600 overclocking rig in these cases? Note that they are to run dc 24/7. I have the successor case (NSK-2480...

How did replacing the northbridge heatsink work for you? Pretty well. I put the Thermalright HR-05 IFX with the smart fan on a couple of weeks ago. I was able to overclock the GPU all the way to 980MHz after upgrading to the F4 BIOS (950MHz on F3) with the NB voltage at the max. I was running the f...

GPU Client on overclocked GPU
I'm currently trying the GPU2 client on my ga-ma78gm-s2h. I started out at the standard 500MHz clock and then proved that I could get it stable (and non EUE) at 850MHz. I've since upped the NB voltage by .3V and am trying 950MHz (1GHz was system unstable). Anyone else trying to run the GPU2 client o...

New guy on the block
I think I've optimized my system for FAH. I'm running the uniprocessor client and the GPU client on my ga-ma78gm-s2h with a BE-2350. I tried the SMP client, but the GPU starved with four cores running on two processors. <http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=340320> It will ta...

I have a BE-2350 in a Gigabyte ga-ma78gm-s2h. I have set the CPU voltage in the BIOS at 0.975. Speedfan reports 1.0-1.04 depending on load. It's running with 10x multiplier and 210 clock. BE-2350 2.1GHz 1.04V both cores at 100% 2.1GHz 1.00V idle 2.1GHz 1.3V idle 1.36 both cores at 100%

I think you are looking at the DDR voltage control. I'm undervolting a BE-2350 in that MB @2.1GHz at 0.975V in the BIOS. Speedfan shows the voltage varying from 1.01 to 1.02 under load. The BIOS allows control of the CPU, DDR, and NB voltages separately. The CPU voltage range is silly. It goes from ...
