Folding Forum

I am very sorry that I dropped this topic for such a long time. Nothing happened since my last post. It seems Curecoin will be launching these days so I am trying to get ready this week. At latest beginning of next week there will be updates on my lousy attempts. Thanks for all the input so far, mos...

folding_hoomer can you give me a Link to the updated drivers? As far as I understand the replies correctly, my hardware decision should be fine. Whatever software tuning I will make afterwards. I plan on using 3x 16x-16x risers and 3 x1-x16 risers so I will lose about 5% performance (1-(3*0,9 + 3*1)...

oh, I just saw that: is it true folding with GPUs require full PCIe x16 bandwith? Because most of my GPUs are on a PCIe x1 slot at the moment (using x1 to x16 risers).

thanks very much PantherX, I already saw you discussing curecoin and this is exactly what I'm aiming at. I had a rough time setting my 6 GPUs up, and all of your mentioned problems regarding 6 GPUs are true (and there are more) and it took some effort to resolve. However, I already succeeded and the...

I have a 6x R9 290 system with a crappy mobo & cpu and wanted to do some upgrading in order to enter FAH. I heard 1 cpu core per gpu is needed, but there is a lot of technical stuff in this I don't yet understand. My plan is to upgrade my mainboard to an AMD Sockel AM3+ and filling it up with a ...
