I already have mine fired up...gonna run them hard today!

Overclocked the shaders on the 9600 GSO using RivaTuner. Jumped PPD about 600 points. Seems to be running nice and smooth so far. Fan has not even kicked into high gear yet. For such a budget card...this thing is a Folding monster. Running just under 4,600 PPD on that card alone:D

Best folding card out there for the price. The price/PPD on it is amazing, especially when zzf had it for $34.99 and $14.99 after rebate. What sucks however is how they used the same name for the "new" 9600gso that only has 48 shaders.
 
is there anywhere where I can find out how to work the SMP client? I downloaded it and followed the instructions on the f@h site and it isn't playing :(

My SMP client has been a complete fail the last 3 days or so. I have completely uninstalled everything and started all over several times already. I even cleared the files from the appdata.

It will run along just fine at about 2000 PPD for hours and then all the sudden...bam...it fails:(

Kill the overclock and try again? May be a not-as-stable-as-you-thought-it-was overclock.

That's def possible, although in my experience a heavy CPU OC would lock up my machine before I'd see client failures. Still something to look at though.
 
I actually tried that...downclocked it to stock yesterday and it still threw 2 work units.

It has ran fine for a couple weeks. A guy at OCN just said it is a bad work unit. His is doing the same thing with 2665.

He recommended just running 2 normal CPU clients.
 
I know we've gone over this problem before, (I've had it before) But I have the simple CPU client (not SMP) and it's not downloading the projects("Core error download error #x, waiting before retry") (And it also says it's paused under FAHmon) It's been a full day and a half and still nothing...(I have also restarted the program, and assigned the machine ID correct etc...) Any other 'tips' on how to get it to work?
And do their servers take this long usually?

What number did you assign it?

Check your Task Manager and make sure you have no other clients running that you don't know about.

My CPU client is #1 and my GPU Client is #2.

I checked task manager:

3 Total
Folding@home (CPU)
Fodling@home (GPU)
FAHCore_11.exe (I opened file location led me to the GPU client directories)
 
I'm not sure what's going on with my GPU client. Here's my clocks...

Both gpuz and precision show the 260 in low power idle mode My current WU is taking forever. Any ideas?

Try newer drivers, 195.38(i think, whatever the 195 drivers are) have been rock solid for me.

Also, in rivatuner there is an option somewhere to force 3d mode.

I hate FahMon, it tries to tell me both my SMP clients have hung cores yet they keep folding and showing me percentages as they go along hehe. If only HFM.net would be nice and work for me.
Edit: Whoops, forgot to tell it they were on a VM.
