Folding Forum

I let it run for a little while, just to check it out. Actually runs pretty good.
I did notice the "time to completion" took two steps forward, and three
steps back.
The performance calulated to 470+ ns/day. What does that come to as flops?

Also is there a page in the Wiki, for controls (F1, F2 etc)?

There is no direct or easy correlation between ns/day and Flops. The size of the WU and the speed of the hardware make the variables too unrelated to calculate. Sorry.

No wiki info on the F buttons. Feel free to experiment and add it.

Another issue that I see is that the viewer and FahCore uses the same GPU so won't that make it an issue? If you can run the FahCore on 1 GPU and the viewer on another GPU than we might get some valid data.

BTW the experimentation caused my system to freeze. Thus have a result "Don't use it again"

Unless things have recently changed, the viewer is also known as junk, and not recommended to be used for any reason.

I don't know. Looks about like I would expect, for not being developed a lot.
Nvidia spinning in place, Ati floating around the earth.
Adds about 20 sec per frame on a GTS 450, with a GTS 250 folding also.

Not something you watch like TV. But I have seen people stare at their monitors, with less on them.

The viewer is well known for causing the gpu client to crash is what I was alluding to. I don't know why it's even offered.

A very good question, hence I ask it here (viewtopic.php?f=50&t=15727) and am hoping that I might get an answer soon

Not so well known, and doesn't crash all GPUs.

v6 clients typically won't change pending the v7 release. (show stoppers like what v6.40 gpu fixed are a rare but notable exception)

You guys should update your advice. There are two different viewers.

Both viewers waste (IMHO) a lot of processing time but (also IMHO) the one for nvidia doesn't crash. The older version of the viewer that was supposed to work on both ati and nvidia crashes a lot. Read the title of the topic and answer the questions regarding the special nvidia viewer.

What do you think I was trying to do?

But thanks for spelling it out in more detail.
