Folding Forum

I have been folding for about 4 years, and would like to add a 2nd GPU to my computer. Currently, I am running the following: Intel i5-4690 CPU, overclocked to 1500 mHz -- CoolerMaster Necton 240 liquid cooler; MSI GTX 970 Gaming GPU, overclocked to 4000 mHz; MSI app's: Gaming app; Afterburner; Seas...

This will be my last post on this thread. I have now been using the Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti OC for just over a month, and continue to be very satisfied with its performance. After the first week of use, when the PPD totals fluctuated rather dramatically (I suspect due to the projects assigned to my comp...

I said I would post a follow-up comment or two on the new Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti OC card after a few days experience with it. In a nutshell, this new GPU is a very significant improvement over my previous Radeon HD 6950. I am currently running two clients: GPU and SMP (all 8 cores of the CPU). The curr...

I am not a gamer, and the graphics card will be used almost solely for folding (running 24/7) and photo/video editing. Does anyone know from experience whether there is a significant performance difference in PP...

It's a CyberPower build, which has been upgraded since it was first assembled. Current configuration includes: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3; Intel i7-870 CPU with CoolerM...

I have a follow-up question on this subject. I have just upgraded my GPU (to an XFX-HD-6950), and I want to find the best balance between my CPU client and the GPU client (I'm running V7 of the beta). Would I get the best overall results (i.e., greatest number of WU's each day) if I set the CPU/SMP ...
