Neil-B Thank you!

Welcome to Folding@Home! The requirements I look for are OpenCL 1.2 support or greater, and hardware based Double Precision floating point math. I generally use Tech Power up GPU database to be sure a card is supported. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/ JimboPalmer can you explain "Double...

Do you have a budget? I'm hoping to get input on both mid range ($200 +/- per GPU) units, for something I can put into effect in the near future. And high end ($600 +/- per GPU) units, for something I can look to upgrade to. The only problem possibly being with a higher end GPU is I'm guessing, it ...

Hello!! I am really hoping to get help selecting the best GPU for the rig I have now to get the most folding out of it as possible. My MOBO will support two GPU's, and I thinking of filling both slots. These are the specs of my current equipment. ASUS P67 TUF series MOBO Intel i5 2500K cpu 8GB Corsa...

I was wondering if it is possible to set F@H to automatically adjust it's own power level? For example to use 50-75% power when someone is using the computer. And 100% of power when there is nobody at the computer?? I'm guessing which F@H client a person is using would make a difference? I'm current...

The current version is fah_installer_7.4.4_x86 that I was trying to download and install on my desktop here. I uninstalled fah_installer_7.4.4_x86, and then installed fah_instal...

Hello! I was hoping to get a little help or advice on the install of F@H on my computer. I've had F@H on this computer in the past and it was working with no problems, but then I starting having a bunch of different problems with the computer ... ended up replacing the RAM ... and re-installing the ...

Thank you Jesse_V!

You can monitor the machine with TeamViewer if you want, but you'll really need to connect a monitor to get through the installation of the OS and get the FAH client going (plus TeamViewer, if you use that). I'm not saying that it's impossible to build a headless system from scratch, but it does ma...

I want to thank everyone for all the help!!!!

Hello! I have a friend who has a Dell quad core he's not using since the hard drive crashed. He threw it in the closet, and got a new machine. I have a good hard drive, and he told me I could use his quad-core "until he needs it again"!?!? I would use this machine solely for F@H. I wouldn'...
