Does anyone else do this? I think I'm going to start, at least on my work computer (yay not paying the power bill)

For those interested, but not involved, here's the link: http://folding.stanford.edu/

Also, I went ahead and started a nerd forum team, if anyone is interested. 216624

i do it on my ps3 and also when I worked for EVGA I did it heavily for their folding at home team as they offered evga bucks to be used on their products.

[SpleenBeGone]

Awesome. Do you still do it for their team?

Also, how was it working for EVGA?

Just found out about the v7 beta client, makes my ati cards work a bit better at home.

my i5 however seems to be lazy. o.O

[SpleenBeGone]

got the v7 client running on my work computer. I'm currently averaging about 34000 PPD without using bigadv, and the i7 at stock clocks (really need to get a good cooler for it) with two 550 ti's (damn fry's always being out of nvidia cards)

[SpleenBeGone]

Just broke into the top 10k.

[SpleenBeGone]

Also, for anyone else that might be interested, the v7 client is much easier to use. Here's a link to it, and the install guide.

Will come in under 7k today.
You guys are no help.

[SpleenBeGone]

I picked up a little 630 yesterday, going to try the beta stuff on a kepler card at work.
You guys should really give this a try. >.>

Got the go ahead to use all the old computers at work, 5 free pci-e slots I'll soon fill with cheap nvidia cards.
If I fill each with another 630 I'll be getting about 75k ppd from work. >.>

[SpleenBeGone]

Soon I'll be able to make 100k PPD
I don't care if everyone else is ignoring this thread. >.>

[SpleenBeGone]

Got 110,465 points yesterday.

WOOO!

I miss playstation home...

[SpleenBeGone]

Yeah, I know they removed it a while back, I imagine that was a pretty big hit to available FLOPS.

Your processor might get some good SMP action going though.

I'll give it a shot

me and it are currently fighting over how to render ps2 games

You'de think that running 3 threads for software emulation would work better than using the stock onboard video card for DirectX rendering.

but the battle for frames continues.

[SpleenBeGone]

Remember though, your onboard video is a lot better than most onboard video.

[Wolf]

Wait, really?

*dxdiag*

Well I'll be a son of a gun >w>

DX11 it is!

Thanks spleen

[SpleenBeGone]

Yeah, it's on the same die, but the APU video chips are pretty amazing considering the price. You can crossfire them with the low end 6 series cards for more power as well.

[Wolf]

That was something I was gonna ask you around christmas, but I ended up not getting enough money

So, if I were to start looking at new cards, how could I tell if it can crossfire with the current on-board chip?

[SpleenBeGone]

I don't remember what chip you have off hand, so you'd have to tell me, but amd has it listed on their site. I know the top ones go up to the 6670. Here's the chart.
