Well, I'm at my dad's house for a few days this week, so I only have the family computer at home folding at 40% when they have it turned on... my PS3 isn't on while I'm not there for that long of a time. I can't leave it like that... poor thing. =[

Just overtook you as well Hyper :p The main issue I've found is there seems to be about a 12-24 hour delay before I get a bunch of WU's updated at once.

Same thing happens here, I'll complete like 6 work units and it and take a day or so before I see my score update. Kinda a nice surprise opening up the score sheet and seeing a big jump:D

You were right about the GTX 260...this thing shreds work units. Folding at 690 MHz with no issues, temps are ok between 65 and 70c:)

I'm happy to say I began folding again. I discovered the GPU folder the other day. I'm currently running both the CPU and GPU Folding@Home programs. Is it alright to do that, or should I just stick to one? (I personally like the GPU one because it folds faster - and I'm currently running my card on stock settings)

About the past week or so my folding has slowed down. When I first started folding GPU...it would take about 1.5 hours to complete a work unit. It was like this for weeks. This past week it takes about 3 hours. Is it a different kind of work unit they are using now? Is there some kind of update or something?

It's a different WU. 1680 points per WU.

Sweet....I am downloading the March 3rd driver release and the voltage tuner now:)

I'll write back and let you know what happened...that is, if I don't start a fire:D

Will it work with your 55nm card? I saw in the eVGA forums people complaining about the utility is not supported:(

The utility works...kinda cool actually:cool:

This is a TechZine article waiting to happen...let the testing and recording begin:D

Core clock: 729MHz
Memory Clock: 1152MHz
Shade Clock: 1458MHz
Voltage increased from 1125mV to 1200mV
Temp: 55c:good:

And folding wide open with no issues so far. I am going to play some Call of Duty later and see what happens. I have never been able to get above 700MHz before...nice app;)

Sick. Find the highest stability within reasonable temps and post back. I'll take a look at some of the other BIOS editors that allow you to increase GPU voltage.

I tried a few tests...not too good of results. Normally I can run a game with no issues at 690MHz at stock voltage.

When ever I run a game or a 3Dmark06 test with any sort of voltage increase it crashes half way through the first graphics set. I even tried stock clocks with a slight voltage increase...still crashed.

With Folding it helps and I ran it at 740MHz with 1250mV for about 2 hours and it ran great. Really did not speed up the WU at all.

My motherboard is almost an antique now...bout time for an upgrade:D Trying to get the household Commander to bless off on an eVGA 790 board...almost there:)
