Re: Projects 7624-25 Points

That's quite true, but nobody can control what WUs they get, or admittedly I'd opt for those big A4 core ones all the time. :P One of those once every 16 hours or so sure beats a bunch of the 100 point ones, but my job is to fold what I'm given, not fold what I want to fold, unless they change stuff...

Re: 660ti

It takes a while for a new video card to be added to the white list so expect a delay from days to a couple of weeks for that to work. Beyond that the 660ti is a Kepler and those folding cores are currently being beta-tested and are not yet accessible to non-beta testers. You'll need to join the be...

Re: Projects 7624-25 Points

Project 7623 is now all I get and producing the low points per day on my gpu cards. If points = science, then I'm apparently doing around 40% less science than I was before these 76xx units arrived. Since 76xx appears to be the only science I can now get, it appears that PG is only doing less usefu...

Re: Overall F@H Stats Graph?

It's been cooler in most of the country lately, and well, September is a week and a half away. I'd say it's likely. :)

Re: Folding@Home GPU Comparison Database

Dark Pulse, as for the your currently beta hardware, I don't think Bruce had a problem with having the data shared, so if you submit it I will enter it. I'll fire off a PM and ask him what the policy on it is, then. If it's okay for now, I'll certainly submit some numbers. Even if it is allowed, th...

Re: Folding@Home GPU Comparison Database

When a FahCore is being developed/optimized/fixed, there can be significant TPF variations from one version to the next. (That's implied in the beta team rules of engagement.) Once a FahCore is released to the general public, variations can still happen but they're much less likely and/or are more ...

Re: Folding@Home GPU Comparison Database

A question: Does this extend to hardware that could be considered "beta" class as well, such as GeForce 6-series stuff? That may be a bad thing right now, though, considering right now there's no "public" support for them at this time. If it's permitted, though, I could certainly...

Re: The Inner Life of the Cell

It's horribly dating myself... but for some reason I'm reminded of the trailer to the old Playstation Role-Playing Game "Parasite Eve" by that video.

15 years already, sheesh. Where did you go?

Re: Can I contribute with this setup?

The GPU is almost certainly unsupported.

The CPU... you'd get maybe a few hundred points a day. Pentium D's were basically the very budget Dual-Core CPUs... back when Dual-Cores were starting to proliferate in 2008 or so.

I would say it's definitely possible, but don't expect much more than that.

Re: cuda

If for some reason the GPU slot still isn't detected, or is detected but doesn't seem to "work," you may need to update GPUs.txt.

What GPU do you have?

Re: Overall F@H Stats Graph?

I think a lot of the boost has to do with the relative proliferation of GPGPU over the last few years. Tons of these new supercomputers are just lots and lots of GPGPUs, rather than arrays of CPUs as it was before. It's down more to the economies of size. All but the most extreme folks won't have mo...

Re: There are not enough folders

I'll definitely agree the V7 client is a big step in the right direction. Rather than people having to get a bunch of different clients, it's all nice and centralized. It also means less things to keep track of, in a way. OCs are fussy things; you can't guarantee how good a part will run. My CPU, fo...

Re: There are not enough folders

Which is why I said, I'm a gamer first and a folder second. :P It just so happens that it makes my PC(s) scream at Folding, too, is all. :)

Re: There are not enough folders

Well, it mostly would only matter for CPU-based stuff. Obviously, the guys with GPUs have the game on them there since the Linux client can't support those yet... at least, from what I've read. Either way, as long as the folding's being done, doesn't matter how. Everyone benefits in the end, especia...
