| Re: Folding@home GPU2 6.12 beta 6 Well just started folding again and i'm not really interested in points but its nice to know  Another thing with running this client on Nvidia is that you will have to run the 174.55 version of the drivers (CUDA) Download CUDA Code - complete and free toolkit for creating derivative works I guess this driver has a bit of problems with fps in gaming but if you want to fold you are going to have to sacrifice.

Thats a different client, the same the runs the hd3xxx cards. This client is only for nvidia gpu's, that support cuda. Anything from the 8400gs and up can run it, and even the 8400gs can make 900ppd, which is as much as the ps3. Quote:
Look around on the fah forums and youll see plenty of information and ppd averages as well. In fact, i created the thread there, lol. Last edited by ricanflow; 06-17-2008 at 07:34 PM. | ||

| Re: Folding@home GPU2 6.12 beta 6 My first WU is 5000 and i am already at 800 out of 5000 and been running only 20 minutes. Not bad. Time to OC the card a bit more to get more out of F@H.
