Folding Forum

Hi all,
This is my first post so apologies if this has been posted several times, well my question are as follows.

- Ive recently upgraded to Fermi GTX 480 SLI Ive downloaded the GPU 3 client is this correct?

-The performance is showing 1200ns/day sometimes more sometimes less is this correct?

-Is there a client which supports SLI or is folding only limited to one GPU

any information is greatly appreciated

Welcome to the F@H Forum GORGEOUS_GEORGE,

1) Yes, that is correct.

2) Please avoid the viewer since it is buggy/resource hog. Please use FahMon or HFM.NET to monitor your Client.

3) Unfortunately, SLI will never be supported since it is too slow for F@h. If you have dual GPUs, then you have to setup 2 instances of the Client. Please refer to my GPU Guide (link in signature), section "9 - Installation Of Multiple Instances"

Additional information for GPU3 BETA Client can be found here -> viewtopic.php?p=160906#p160906

PantherX,
Ive downloaded the FahMon app, but could run me through on how to work it lol its a bit confusing

I am assuming that you have the Systray Client version and that it has been installed as default location. If not then do a Windows search for FAHlog.txt OR FAHlog and note that location. IIRC, it would be C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Folding@Home GPU

Now here are the steps for FahMon:
Step 1: Open the FahMon application
Step 2 Click on the "Clients" Button and a sub menu will appear underneath it
Step 3: Click "Add a new client"
Step 4: A window will appear:
Step A -> In the "Name" field, enter any name that you want to give to your GPU Client
Step B -> In the "Location" field, enter the location of the FAHlog OR FAHlog.txt. You can click on the "..." Button to navigate to that folder.
Step 5: Click "OK"

After that, you should see a Client added on the FahMon.

Ok i got it working thanks for all your help just one last question, my PPD is 14664.00* is this correct?

Actually, it depends on the Project that you are folding and the Shader frequencies. However, I think that 14K is normal for GTX 480. Do remember that PPD may vary from WU to WU and on system usage and other factors.

thank you very much for all your help i appreciate it
