Folding @ Home Info

~55% CPU usage

It should be much lower than that though (<15%, some folks have even had ~5%), are you using the 177.35 CUDA drivers/full reboot..?

I'm using the wrong drivers, [175.16] I'll change when it finishes.

The 177.35 drivers will not install, Is my 8800gt compatible?

[syntronyx]

nevermind... you have to use a hacked nv4_disp.inf to install on older cards

[powerarmour]

I just got mine from here :-

I didn't need a hacked .inf or anything for a 8600GTS (running Vista Business.... Folding@work, lol...).

Also to note, ATI users will need to use this new GPU client if you upgrade to Cat 8.6 drivers.

Should hopefully be a nice boost for them also.

I can't wait until they have a WHQL CUDA+physX driver for 8 and 9 series cards.
Since physX uses CUDA, it shouldn't be long....

Mate they already have one out. I am using them and they are pretty cool for gaming. I like how Aegia Island has been unlocked in GRAW 2. It's like a freebie for spending too much money on cards for the last couple of years lol. The latest drivers include CUDA and Physx in them. 177.83 is whql'd. Here is the link along with the rest of the power pack, http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewith ... wnload.asp . So far they are stable in every game and bench I have tried.

I've been using 177.35, downloading as we speak.

I like how they even include a download for the F@H gpu client.
