Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

well i got both my hd 5770s and my 8800gt folding (well the client started, we'll see if they actually start folding at all) on my main computer. plus i got the cpu one going as well. the 8800gt finishes in about a third of the time :eek::eek: although when it is running i don't get any usage on any of the core with msi afterburner... even though it shows that it is at 100/10000 (and 200 and 300 and so on).

I installed the 3 clients, but the nVidia client crashed. I don't think they'll fold in unison with the standard client? :confused:

hmm, did you do the copy gpu folder- rename several things- create shortcuts stuff?

EDIT: :( i accidentally had the 8800gt folding anonymously :( it was running for a long time and did like 3 projects already. oh well, points aren't the reason i do it :)

after a bunch of EUE 24 hour errors, i just deleted the folders and started all over. everything is finally running smoothly:

HERE I COME MEP!!!!! :P i guess i have a hell of a long way to go before i catch you...
 
A question.

If I don't sell my 8600gt within this next week I am thinking about putting it in my system as a dedicated folding card. I know it won't do massive amounts, however every little helps, right ;).

Would I be able to fold on that one card, and leave my 3870 not folding while I am doing other things, or do both have to fold?

You should be able to download the nVidia client and get that folding.

and it won't impact the performance of my 3870 at all, or negligably?

it won't impact it at all. i have my 8800gt fold while playing games and stuff like that. the only thing you might notice is a little bit more cpu usage, but only like 4% or so.

good, and that isn't a problem at all :) If I notice that extra 4% which I highly doubt I won't, I still have another core I can unlock or do a little bump to my clocks to make up for it.

ty for the info guys, will wait and see if this card sells now then :)

your computer uses your cpu and/or gpu to simulate protein folding. researchers then look at the things you create to help try and prevent/treat diseases and cancers.

Nice, where would a get the software for that? Not that I could do much, my netbook only has a little intel atom and Almost zero graphics :P integrated, too.
 
Finally found a 3W Potentiometer at RadioShack so im back to folding 24/7!

Here I come Voyager you better watch out! jk

I stopped folding with my 4870 cause it was getting too hot and crashing when I'd pause the folding and game. I may have to RMA the card again.
 
Aww yup you did

I thought something was up when your average was dropping

What are and were you folding on? Just the 4870? CPU too?
