My GPU client does work, it gets say 16% then it says something like nans detected on my gpu and it stops working, whats up with that?

Due to my PSU failing (i think) I will not be folding as much until I get a new one. Will also be purchasing a 5850. Been searching around trying to find out what ppd to expect from it and found this:

Looks like somewhere around 3600-4200ppd

Not bad considering the smp2 client can only utilize 300 or so stream processors

Cant wait until the new client comes out. Anyone heard new about it?

If you're looking for PPD, get an Nvidia card--they are much, much better.

Are there any special requirements to be a member of the team?

Yes, don't advertise in your signature.

We're going backwards again!

Yep--I noticed that. We're getting mowed down, and I no longer have an i7 to put in the mix.

 

[G25r8cer]

Im still folding guys. Torturing my psu and hoping it doesnt fail until I get my income tax

Got a nice OC going on my 8600gt

 

[G25r8cer]

wtf? This is what im getting now

Mmm we need to get more people on the folding train. It seems like a few have stopped and need a swift kick up the bum

Mine keep failing...I can't figure out what the problem is. I'm not seeing any errors anywhere but I suspect I'm overheating. This computer has no temperature sensors, so I don't know for sure, but the cpu cooler was made for a cpu with half as much power as what's in it...

I mean it's not like my Celeron can contribute much anyway, but it'd be nice to at least be of some use, yaknow?

edit: Thought: Has anyone tried this on an xbox? I have an original 'box sitting in here unused...I could throw linux on it fairly easily. Wouldn't be very fast, but it does meet the minimum specs.

 

[voyagerfan99]

I think we need another folding contest

 

[G25r8cer]

I will be cranking out the WU's now

Wohoo broke 100k and #4 on the top producers

 

[Buzz1927]

What happened to all the i7 boys?? We're barely holding on to our position at the mo And I forgot how to get all 4 cores folding, bugger!

 

[Drenlin]

I'm considering putting together a beowulf cluster for this...I have several old machines just sitting here doing nothing. What would be the best way to do it?
