I was reading another post in which people were wondering why I had gained so many points in the last few days and there was a comment re the number of clients and whether the WUs are real. Well, here's the story. I got rid of all my ATI cards and bought a several overclocked NVidia GTX 295s. Right now I am running 8 GTX 295 GPU clients (4 cards), 4 other GPUs (older cards) and 10 CPU clients. I'm having some heat and power issues that I am still trying to solve so it's going slower than I thought. I'm at 72k PPD roughly today so you should see another jump tomorrow or Sunday. I have two more GTX 295's going online Monday and two more later next week or the week after. So why so many clients showing up as active??? Because I spent countless hours trying to get two or more GTX 295s to fold under Vista and Windows 7. I read every post in this forum and from other sites and I was not able to get it going like some have (and I tried everything from dummy plugs to real monitors to re-installing the OS, different drivers, inserting one card at a time to finally calling my grand mother and she told me to use Windows XP). But whenever you bring a client online it just stays there for a while on Stanford's database. So what you see there is simply a short lived attempt to get something going. Over time, my clients will come back down to their actual numbers. But rest assured that all of these numbers are correct and true. My goal is 100k PPD before Xmas and then when Fermi comes out next year, I will crank it up a notch again.
And yes, I know it's pretty weird folding with Nvidia cards while being on the ATI team. And I appologize to the other frobozz user but I used that name ages ago when Folding first started but then I stopped for quite a while and when I came back there were a few of us. I've also been using frobozz as well on my PS3 since it came out.
Anyways, no need to make a long discussion out of this but I just thought I would clear the air.
