Hello,
new here (since writing in this section) i would like to ask if i can contribute with my new AMD FirePro W8000 (W7 x64 SP1).
Does it have good performance for folding ?
Also i have a spare machine with an overclocked/watercooled Ati Radeon HD3870 (stock 777/1126, now 960/1200/ WinXP x64). Can i contribute with this also ?
Thank you in advance for your help, i apologize if my questions are too common.

Re: FirePro W8000
Welcome to the F@H Forum felix,
The AMD FirePro W8000 is comparable to HD 7000 Series so F@H should be able to run on it.
Having said that, I am not sure if the GPU will be detected in the F@H program since I couldn't find the entry in the GPU.txt file. Thus, if it fails to run, please follow the instructions here (viewtopic.php?f=83&t=21205) so we can add it to the whitelist.
Regarding the HD 3870, please note that the GPU is unsupported by F@H. Supported AMD GPUs are HD 5000 or higher.

Hello, PantherX !
Thank you very much for your fast reply!!!
Too sad that i can't use the spare one.
Regarding the W8000, if this can help, the Hardware ID is the following :

Re: FirePro W8000
The W8000 should work as the latest GPUs.txt does have the necessary IDs:
0x1002:0x678a:1:5:Tahiti [FirePro S9000/10000 (FireGL V)]
Using the client-type advanced slot option should get you core 17 work and without the option you should get core 16 work. If you're also running a CPU slot on the same computer you may want to reduce the number of CPUs assigned to that slot since the GPU slot will require some usage of a core for itself.
