Folding@home [V9] all your WU's are belong to us...

Anyone else having problems delivering results? Seems like most of the servers mine are using are not accepting.

Right, good news/bad news...

Bad news is that I'm retiring my 9800GTX+ from folding, at it's peak it used to give me ~6k PPD alone, but ever since the old 1.09 FahCore it's just not been GPU2 stable, even at default clocks (obviously 3D stable though, but folding does stress them more indeed).
So I shall be donating this card to a friend as a gaming card, which it's perfectly fine for (and still bloody fast..!).

Good news is that I've just ordered a Leadtek GTX 285...!!
So I should be looking at ~9k PPD from that monster alone... , I was tempted to go for the GTX 295, but that seemed like too much overkill for my little mATX box.

So hopefully I should start hitting some decent production by the middle of next week, looking forward to it.

At least you are holding up your end I am without my gaming rig for a while as the board goes through that wonderful RMA process at Asus. And my Seasonic PS is down as well. And my son's gamer(aka my home server-A7N8X Dlx) has died of the popped caps. So I am lookingto replace that. It just leaves my wife's 8800GTS to work. And she turns it off quite often. I hope to be back in 3-4 weeks and I will try to get my numbers back up. Hopefully we can stop that terrible slide into the bottom we are in.

Hopefully we can stop that terrible slide into the bottom we are in.

Yeah I've noticed that, though it seems it's more to do with other teams catching us up, rather than us slacking that much.

We are still hanging in there though (and many thanks to all that are..!), and we've still plenty of time to improve...

Lol, Typical, just when I'm about to get my new card, the 9800GTX+ has decided it wants to fold stable on the new FahCore_14 based 59xx Projects...

I'll still pass it on anyway, but it least it made an effort in the end...

Cool, lets see how this one folds :-

Likes to run a bit warm, but it's chewing up the WU's fine so far :-

Guys, guys, guys (and Girls too...!) get the Nvidia 185.20 drivers on your system for a monster PPD boost..! :-

185.26 drivers + Win7 x64 build 7057 = Nice PPD...

Not sure what's going on - I've never hit 2000 ppd before, much less stayed above it for several days!!


Nothing's changed at my end either.
