Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I'd imagine they will. The whole point of folding on an X1900 is the 48 programmable pixel shader units, with the G80 having 128/96, it should be able to effectively fold 2-3 times faster then the X1900, not to mention its clock speed and shader unit clock advantage too.

First Draft Folding@Home T-shirt

Note that this is not the quantity ordering, if I got more it would be less per shirt.

That's good for a first draft, although I can't help thinking the t-shirt back looks more like a webpage than a t-shirt. :P No offense meant. I love the idea in principle, I tend to think when it comes to t-shirts, the simpler the better. What about something like this? Not as a final design, just a rough idea?

I dig the simpler design idea, but I still like my back, except for the long sentence and url at the bottom. For some reason, the standard Folding@Home logo looks cool.

If you take the business route and order around 5 Sm, 10 Md, and 10 Lg, with one color on front and back, they come out to around $12.50 per shirt. Sadly, we can't transfer designs easily, so start designing in the business one. Also, they can put stuff on the sleeves.

P.S.: As far as the T-shirts are concerned, we could call a quick competition in the OFF-TOPIC so that we get more input. What do you guys think?

I have no objections to a similar fantastically-democratic thing that we had going with the F@H logo designing. Pooling many ideas is likely to give a better result, definately.

Sounds good. Let's go for it :D
 
Well I have just go around to setting up my old PC to do this Floding@Home thing. It will be running for 5days(ish) max.....I'm sure it wont do the computer any good but hey....it is my old one that was sat in corner with no meaning to it.

What is a WU?

Hey, even slower PCs contribute and that's all that really matters. Afterall, you are doing something worthwhile. Thanks. Now to answer your question, a WU stands for the words WORK UNIT (a single file sent to you for processing). We are all looking forward to seeing you on our team :)

I want to start doing this. I dont want to wait for my new rig to be built. I want to start now. :D I read the other thread and saw that it doesnt take performance off your CPU. Does it really not? I play a lot of games and I dont want to be one bit affected by it on my currently slow comp. How do I go about all this?

Performance won't be affected. F@H runs at a very low priority, and only uses CPU cycles left unused by other programs.
 
I have heard that you can fold on some ATI cards, so can I put in my old PCI ATI 9250 and fold on that and then use my Nvidia 6800XT still as my main video card to run games and other programs?

So I guess I'm asking two thing:

1. Can you run a ATI and a Nvidia card at the same time? (I would guess not)
2. Can you fold on a PCI ATI 9250?

1. Nope
2. Nope

Unfortunately, GPU support is only active for ATI X19.. series of ATI cards thanks to their high pixel shader count which is used for folding.
