Well I guess you have to look at the percentage increase in folding power that each new generation of ati cards bring. Based on that, you'll have an idea what the next generation can do. Only then can a comparison be made to the alleged performance of the gtx280.

Alright ppl, it's come to my attention that we're STUCK at around 1645-1650 in terms of rank on F@H. Our daily WU fluctuates QUITE alot and we've reached a stagnant point where our current rate won't get us much Higher. So this is a call to all GATTers, put those idle CPU cycles to better use, DLing nrop isn't everything, get the Folding client and start curing cancer XD or at least helping us get a higher daily work rate.

WTF is up with the f@h client for Nvidia gpu's? I hearing about this thing ever since g80 came out, and here we are a nearly 2 years later and its still vapourware. When I put in my order for a new card, this fact will be a big factor in choosing. Come on man, how long does it take to develop a f@h client for your gpu?

Hmm guys we're slipping.. we've not been able to break the 1600 barrier at all and now we've slipped to 1611 down from a high of 1604.... what a gwan?

What ah gwan is that I eh get my hd4870 as yet. When I do, i'l blow past your score in a matter of weeks. Expect me.

Umm, since that last update that Sony messed up on, I was not about to run an update and end up like Shiv...I waiting till they issue a good update before running the Folding app again...

So an ati/nvidia gpu client has been out since last month...didnt even realise that...anyway, its working...I think. Installed it this morning, seems to be running some sort of test so i'll see what happens when I get back from work.

If you haven't already, go and get it guys.

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #191 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:02:23 AM »

thanks cap'n.. will test this ish out..

EDIT: installed, works, doing a test protein... FINALLY SOMETHING FOR MY 8800GT TO DO RATHER THAN SWEAT GAMEZZ..

EEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDIIITTTT!!!!!!!!: I JUST INSTALLED THE CUDA DRIVERS FROM NVIDIA, AND SON... DAMN... I'M FOLDING AT MUTHA CLUCKIN over 40 times the speed without the drivers, in other words.. PACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... right now i'm moving at avg 2500 iter/sec and i saw with oc'ing i can get as much as 3000 iter/sec. damn i wonder how those ati cards will do... go 8800gt go!!!!

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #192 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:57:47 AM »

the CUDA drivers, put those 8800gt's to use peoples..

i've been googling, and i see that this gpu client has indeed sparked a benching craze, PPD (POINTS PER DAY)..

currently i'm capable of 4507.83 PPD

you'll have to use the FahMon tool to measure your ppd, and don't open the display, since it takes 10% of your folding power (read that somewhere..lol)

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #195 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:07:04 PM »

I still cant figure out how that fahmoon thing works...

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #196 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:18:31 PM »

all you have to do is right click in the top blank area and select add a new client...

to add the gpu client, go to c:\documents and settings\*user*\application data\folding@homegpu

to add your regular client just browse to the folding@home folder in program files

that's it, it will monitor your client progress and tell you how much ppd you are doing, the points that the current WU is worth, etc..

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #197 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:41:59 PM »

Ahhh got it. Thanks. So why is my ppd only 1277?

W1nTry · « **Reply #198 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:45:57 PM »

Hey Philo you using the CUDA FAH agent on ur 8800GT at present?

If so since i've been bogged down lately, give a step-by-step installation for the rest of us. Which CUDA software we need to DL, what to install, where to get it, etc.
