LOL, new core 7950 PPD 30703
3570k 19185 PPD

that's what i'm talking about.

Nice! With a 3570k at 4.5. you should be averaging somewhere in the 15-20k ppd.

The Beta core 17?

 

[MyCattMaxx]

For those of you with AMD GPU's run the beta flag, core17 seems to be working on AMD.

Just a few recommendation for AMD folders:
I recommend Catalyst 13.1 (unmodified) for the HD 5000/6000 series (lower CPU usage than older versions).
The HD 7000 series I recommend Catalyst 13.2 beta (higher GPU usage) (HD 5000/6000 series have a higher CPU usage bug it seems).

yup now it's worth folding with the GPU lol now it hardly uses the CPU also

Thanks for the heads up--I'll try and get my cards running again--drivers were crashing before

 

[MyCattMaxx]

Well, I bought 1 of the 2 CPU's I need for an upgrade to my #2 Folder.

uhoh. Shucks....I was cherishing every day I gain 25k points on you.

jk--those look pretty sweet! Any estimate on PPD?

 

[MyCattMaxx]

Well, depending on work unit it varies.
SMP 70-90K
Bigadv 120-188K

I took out 8 sticks of ram out of my #1 Folder and dropped about 45 watts in power draw.
I figure a small SSD will save me roughly another 10 watts over my platter drive.

Seems like my Xeon finally gives some more PPD
5K a day is ok, I'm now around place 65.

 

[voyagerfan99]

How's the Opteron folding for you Maxx?

 

[MyCattMaxx]

Not running right now.
Still looking for a deal for one more chip.

 

[Virssagòn]

place 54 now, Hyper_Kagome here I come!

 

[Virssagòn]

Can it be that some projects just don't give as much PPD as others? Sometimes I get 16-20K PPD a day with my i7, sometimes (like now) only 2,6K...
My hd7950 gives 8K, is this good?

 

[Gooberman]

my 7950 was giving me around 49k ppd

weird... How can I change from project?

That should give you the info, but I am too lazy to go through it right now.

 

[Virssagòn]

that core 17... How do I apply it? Is there a download? Because I tried client-type: value=beta, still showing fahcore 16 in taskmanager...

 

[wolfeking]

You'll have to ask someone else. I don't mess with cores and such.

 

[Virssagòn]

Got it, 33K PPD with my h7950 now lol. But not gonna run on it before I get better cooling...

 

[wolfeking]

Don't blame you there. If you run it now, you will go deaf.
