O ok sweet. It says it takes about .09 seconds per frame. Do you know what it is for a pc?

if you look here
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats
there are alot less PS3's folding.. and yet the amount of TFLOPS is much much greater.

I am pretty sure they use the same wu. I was looking at the statistics and the PS3 dominates everything.

i dont know if someone has said this already... but they are about to release a new client for nvidia GPU's. yay
all these cards should be supported

so yeah... should be good... they already have the FAQ for it up.. just not the download. haha

anyone of you tried this yet? www.fold.it
its a program that does the same as folding at home I think, except here you try to make to proteeins yourself etc. they made this because people think different than pc's , they see things sometimes a pc cant (or a pc would do ages to get to the same answer)
havnt tried it myself,. I I'm going to when I'm back home.

How long did it take? At 3 GHz, it should be less than 24 hrs...
i was expecting like 300
just did my first WU with my new username.
lets see where i can get to haha
You should climb the ranks pretty fast.

ok no one is replying but anyway.
the nvidia client is currently out and works quite well.
it takes approximately 1 hour per WU on my 8800gt.
Ill update with my average score soon.
heres what it looks like
if you want to get it installed then add me on msn "[email protected]"
id explain it here but its easier on msn.

I just joined the team today, but I'm not completely sure as to what I should set the CPU Usage percentage at. I don't want my computer to accidentally overheat or anything while I'm gone... it's done that a few times a few years back... =[
Download and run Real Temp. Run the F@H client for awhile (like, 30 minutes) while monitoring your temps. Do this while running your CPU at 100%. If the CPU climbs above 70*C, you should consider running the client at 50 - 75%. Personally, I don't like to see my proc go above 60*C.
Which CPU and fan are you using?

hmmm with the nvidia client i only get around 2000 PPD.
98 points per WU x ~24 hours.
im using the supported drivers, version 174.55.
the unsupported ones yield over 4000 PPD, but i cant get them working.
once they are supported then everything should be better.
to anyone with a nvidia card, you might like to give it a try, but there are currently many problems as it is in beta and really has a lot of stuff to sort out.

Hope that helps?

those temps are fine.
what client are you running?
when im running the smp client with my q6600... all the cores are close to 60*C.
but yeah anywhere around 50-60 is fine in my opinion. even up to 70.. but probably not good to have it higher then 60 for a great amount of time

Only? Dude, that's awesome. I get that with my Q6600.
Wow. This nVidia client is smokin.
Agreed. Many of the members here have 8800GT's. Everyone should give it a shot.
Kagome - Your temps are alright.

Do you know which processor you're using? If not, download cpu-z and post a screenshot. You may be able to run the SMP client.
