nVidia GPU Client for Folding@Home

[@DangODave]

Sweet. Crazy speed.
A supercomputer on your desk. I love it.

[@ukmk3supra]

It is Kai. And team 43596. The updated client is ever so slightly faster, too :)

[@Resiroth]

Got an 8800GT too. I'd advise not overclocking the memory so high as it tends to be a surefire way to brick it according to many unfortunate users. Also for folding @ home results you'll want to up the shader more and put the core down. After folding for 12 hours straight it is at 75C which is pretty good but once you hit 85 you start hurting the card pretty bad. I'm getting 5k points a day with an overclock on my e8400 (3.6 ghz linked FSB ). I love F@H and I can't wait to see the results!

Once the Radeon 4850 is out, crank the clockspeed up on it and voila - 1 TERAFLOP of processing power.
At the moment, this is considered SLOW compared to the GTX280 and the forthcoming Radeon's - but still waaaay faster than even the most expensive quad core :)

[@ukmk3supra]

Look when this video was posted. Also look at the specs of the card. The WU isn't necessarily the important part - its how many PPD you're generating from those completed WU's.

[@ukmk3supra]

Yep - now the 8.12's have new CAL dll's, we just need a fahcore that'll take advantage.

[@joffeloff]

Unfortunately the ATI client is very conservative and doesn't really make use of the full potential of the 38xx series let alone the 48xx series..
However, once they ramp it up, it'll be amazing.

[@ukmk3supra]

I was getting about 4700PPD until i shut down the computer. And yes, i'm aware that the cards with Qimonda memory IC's dislike being pushed hard, ihad mine at 1050Mhz for gaming, but for folding, memory speed makes almost no difference, as the data set is so small. It was downclocked back to its rated 1000Mhz Speed.

[@ukmk3supra]

Well its not up to ATI, but the folding client developers. ATI have had the new CAL dll's in place for a month now, but still no fahcore can take any advantage.

[@4RT1LL3RY]

What kind of rate do you get in the non-cuda client? With my HD4850 it takes about 1.5 hours to do a WU at standard clock, 1-ish overclocked. I want ATi to get there language going going so we can have this, without needing to do it the hackish way, like with physx. Nice score rate.

[@kramer3214]

im running it as well. its amazing! im making 5644 ppd on my 8800gts g92 overclocked to 750/1860/1000

[@rick62008]

Ok this might be a stupid question, but can you\we play while folding through the gpu?
Does the program manage gpu usage like the cpu version does?

[@Jtwizzle]

it all depends on what work unit you get. on my 260 i get from 175 up to 600 ns/day

[@LeftInBlank]

look at that fan noise, is your 8800 still working?

[@bourney08]

@daniellynet download rivatuner and manually control the fan speed

[@EGL24Xx]

For some reason, my gpu is only under 2% load when running this.

[@JuanPretorius]

with my ATi gpu, i keep getting vpu crashes. i have the latest firmware. i even set the fan to 100 percent and underclock it, and set it at only 70 percent usage. but still, i get vpu crashes. anyone know how to fix this?

[@123456iambelial]

Dude where did you download your F@H installer?
I got mine with nvidia power pack, and I have evga GTX 260(180.48 driver)and Q6600 @ 3.4GHz and it does not look like yours. My F@H is kind of lagging. My performance is 240ns/day. How am I going to raise my performance

[@retrosynthetic]

how do you get it to move?

[@VirtueCustoms]

where did you get this? I need that speed

[@AndrewRainesGuitars]

it might be locked at a certain speed but id hope not!

[@heavyarms117]

I'm running this client plus my smp and I'm getting 3308ppd on my gpu and 1538ppd on my cpu.
all and all I'm around 5000ppd...

[@th3d3wd3r]

ROFL... your response is pretty much the same is mine. Astonishing. Have you seen f@h stats recently? Something like 40,000 ps3's producing 1 petaflop. Meanwhile 11,000 nvidia cards producing 1.5 petaflops lol

[@lineridemidget]

ya mine goes faster but uh it doesnt look like it goes as smoothly

[@NariKims]

Hm.. Will try again.. Last time it didn't work. >.>

[@sergi5122]

thats pretty kikass!

[@1800Supreme]

I get 935.256 ns/day on meh GTX470 with a Q9550 and 4GB of DDR2 800 (no OC)

[@NariKims]

@xXrob771Xx
My card died shortly after I wrote that comment.
Using a 5770 right now, and no I did not have any software dad locked my fan speed.

[@NariKims]

WTF?? How can your 8800 GT FAN SPIN SO FUCKING FAST?.. Mine is stuck at lousy 30% fan speed.. Making my card going to 108c when gaming, and that sucks..

[@g1598]

Use evga precision 1.8.0 i think is the latest one and it is the best tool ever, get it from guru3d or ausgamers just search in google

[@ukmk3supra]

@samanator36 Sped up what, exactly? This is the standard F@H GPU client used at the time, 3 years ago. Stop chatting shit.

[@Lahmy88]

yeh i wanna get a GPU setup for folding soon.

[@AndrewRainesGuitars]

check out my vid response on here and you can see the newer version

[@ukmk3supra]

And this has NO relevance to this video. Nubcake.

[@Bob8673]

lol maybe its fake

[@Michael_Jackson187]

im so dumb dont be like me i fried my gpu using folding at home left it on high and forgot about it omg nooooooo!!! now i have a code 43 nvidia unresponsive nooooooo
