Yes, when using the GPU Unit taking in file sizes > 5MB ain't no scene. My GPU will join the fray momentarily b1tches!!!

And yes, i've been really stressed this past few weeks....

I can't seem to get the FAHMON working.... i've used the help and still not found the file i'm supposed to use.... tiredness and stress... ppl hit meh a instructions. Bless

you can drag and drop the client's folder into the window and it will just ask you to name it then it takes it from there..

I use the console client so for me it's a folder marked "core 1" and "core 2", just dragged those over and then entered the necessary names...

as for the gpu version you need to copy the link address from the shortcut...

I had the same problem.

First enable view hidden files and folders, right click on the blank area on the left of fahmon and press add new client. Browse to c:\Documents and Settings\*your user name*\Application data\f@h gpu, give it a name and you're set.

This thing is really flying. My ppd is up to 4600 and within the space of 6 hours, 9.5 units were folded!! Pure pwnage.

I did some research and unfortunately, ati f@h performance is underwhelming on account of the client making use of 320 of the 800 stream processors...which is kinna dumb. I hope they fix this soon.

But ur talking 320 Stream processors at 700-800MHz... it'll still wtfpwn anything Nvidia has >_<

Oh and I got it working

In theory, yes, but real life performance does not reflect this.

Damn Phil beat me to it... I was gonna post that we cleared the 1600 with flying colours before I left home this morning... but well I guess I should have XD. GO GPUs GO!!! Capn, catching me now ain't gonna be THAT easy XD

I should have gpu folded for a week or so before saying anything...man wouldda wonder wtmc going on with me LOL.

5047.02 PPD SON!!!

shaders were at 1800mhz (yea i know, insanity)... carried them back down though, during every 10% the work stops due to an UNSTABLE_MACHINE error, lolz.. so back to default for the I.

Whilst I was looking into the gpu client (prior to yall giving simple install instructs) I remember just passing over a topic of being careful with your video cards whilst folding as they are running at 100% utilization or at least close to. As a result the card generate alot of heat. They even went as far as to suggest only using 8800GTs with NON-Stock cooling solutions. So you single slot cooler 8800GT owners have yall checked the temp of ur cards whilst folding? I can say GPU-Z shows my GPU core at 60 and everything else below. Keeping in mind my card has a dual slot haet pipe cooling solution. What temps are you getting?

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #232 on:** July 10, 2008, 12:23:52 PM »

my fan is at 85% and my temps for core are 66 everything else below 60..

Ok so I did some reading and I am APPALLED at the POOR folding performance ofthe HD4xxx series.... those cards are MONSTERS by raw processing comparison. Goes to show, when software is NOT optimized for tech it SUCKS. Hope they sort out that problem and get the 800 Stream processors in the frey. As a side note, if you look at the Folding @ Home stats wrt types of clients and FLOPS, the GPU has 953 Teraflops from 8666 processors, vs. ANYTHING else be it windows, mac, PS3, etc.

GO GPU's!!! now all they have to get right is a console client and the ability to run mulitple GPU clients on the same machine. For those with SLI/Xfire.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #234 on:** July 10, 2008, 01:42:24 PM »

65deg @ 660 core and 90% fan speed.

I did say that the ppd performance of the 4870 was poor right? I must be loosing my mind.

But yeah, im certain that with he next drover release this will be fixed...hopefully. Just when im settling down to do some serious folding on my 8800, im getting rid of it so they better do something about the performance soon.

whats this??? ati drivers suckinggg @r$e @folding?? omg stop the presses

roflkek big news ati drivers are teh suckage
lololoolool

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #236 on:** July 10, 2008, 02:04:47 PM »

Oh yeah poor ati. They beat nvidia sorely on price/performance with sucky drivers. Heaven forbid tey make some proper drivers :p

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #237 on:** July 10, 2008, 02:26:32 PM »

it's not the driver dammit.. it's f@h fault, their old programming only allowed use of the 320 stream processors, and they're not using the full 800sp's in the hd48XX's.. and i think captain or w1n mentioned this. no fault of ATi.. read before you down the company.

so captain no need to defend ATi, and if they improve their drivers, yeah, god forbid it!!!!..lol

F@H's FAQ did say that they are working on this (the gpu2 is still in beta btw) and we may see soon 800sp's blazing the trail.

oh as a side note, current gpu clocks, stable btw

CORE: 675MHZ
MEM: 2000MHZ (effective)
SHADERS: 1700MHZ
CORE TEMP: 66 D.C

PPD: 4986.22

Nephilim · « **Reply #238 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:06:28 PM »

temps...

anyone else getting troublems to run more than one console version of the client as a service?

W1nTry · « **Reply #239 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:34:18 PM »

It shouldn't be a problem once you ensure that each client uses a different ID.
