Looking for advice on config

Post by momoXhemo »

Brand new folder using a GTX 470 and an i7 980x on Windows 7 with 24 gb of ram. I'm running both gpu3 and smp2. I'm looking to make the most out of this, but due to bandwidth limitations, can do no more than 1gb a day upload and download. Will this be a problem if I run 24 hours a day? What is my ideal configuration? I'm using the console version for both.

Welcome to the F@H Forum momoXhemo,

I don't think that F@h Clients will be able to exceed the 1 GB per day. However, you can use Netmeter which shows the total upload and download which you might find useful. Do note that due to the changing nature of Projects, the upload and download will vary.

Ok as far as configuration is concerned... I am assuming that the 470 will be running the GPU3 client. Don't forget to set the usage, in advance settings, option to low. The default is idle. You want the 470 to have a slightly more preference over the cpus than the SMP client.

I have no idea on network usage though.
