say i got a build with a Phenom II X2 550 BE and a 512mb ati 4850 with 2gb ram. how many PPD would you estimate me to get? 100/200? (running both gpu and cpu client)

hopefully i will have it before the end of the year

As far as graphics cards, if you got a GTS 250, you'd probably get ~5000PPD.

Ati cards dont fold that well

It also depends if your folding the cpu under vmware or not

My 955be only get about 900ppd w/o vmware

My 8600gt gets about 1600-1800ppd

It's not that they don't fold so well, it's that the ATI cards are scored differently for their points.

I suppose you could use the VM folding for any CPU, but you'll only get bonus points for the big units if you have 8 cores.

The VM is also a whole lot easier to set up (at least in my experience).

ATi's cards use the exact same projects that Nvidia uses...the code just isn't optimized for ATi's cards.

Either way they dont fold well

What ati card would compare with my 8600gt (ppd)

Just curious

What PPD are you getting? The 4830 gets 2400PPD.

Easier than the normal SMP client I suppose.

What do you guys mean by VM?

What do you guys mean by VM?

VM: Virtual Machine.
Follow the guide if you'd like to check it out - it's a great way to boost your PPD.

I get around 1800ppd on stock clock

Just made 8,000points!! Woot!

Nice job! Lets keep it up everyone!

300th place by Christmas Jet said. Lets do it!

hopefully i will be able to help when i get my new/first build.... hope it works!

Finished my first WU today!

When do they update the stats?

 

[anbo369]

i think its something like every 24hrs.
Thats what evga says it is at least so it may be different

Finished my first WU today!

When do they update the stats?

The donor and team stats are updated every hour, although this can be delayed if there were a lot of work units to come back during that hour. We have been turning off web access to the stats database during stats updates (usually on the hour).

Woot! Another Folder! Welcome aboard!

Finished my first Bigadv work unit, which bumped me back into the top 10!

Just got 33k and put me at #10

Nicely done. Looks like you're gonna knock me off top.
I'm amazed at how many points you're getting just running your CPU.
We might just break the 300 mark this year!

Welcome to the top 10! :good:
