has anyone else run into the problem where the web browser lags around while the GPU is folding? it's really bugging me that now i cannot fold unless i am not using the computer at all. everything becomes just a little sluggish and firefox becomes mostly unusable on flash heavy sites like here at OCC.

Not sure which tab it is under but there is a checkbox for 'Hardware Acceleration' in the options menu, I'm pretty sure if you disable it you'll be back to normal.

Also do you have an SSD as a primary drive? If so there is another more advanced setting I would recommend you use which forces Firefox to cache to ram instead of disk.
Man these spammers are geniuses...put (NO SPAM) in the thread title to hide the spam. It's brilliant. Hopefully this doesn't catch on...what if rapists wear signs that say (NOT A RAPIST)? They will be raping everybody! D:

This is a pretty common side effect when folding on GPUs. I stopped with my 4870X2s back in the day because anything hardware accelerated would slow to a crawl and be extremely laggy whenever I was folding.
Booyah.

okay i'll disable the options in firefox. it's just odd i never noticed this before this GTX 570, the 200s didn't lag or did a 450 i had running for bit.
bigger work units i'm guessing is the problem.

More likely the GPU3 folding core is causing this. It uses more CPU resources than the GPU2 does (pre-Fermi cards). Although that doesn't explain why the 450 wouldn't be affected. I know I was getting lag back when the work units were small and fast for my 570. Now they are big and long, but actually give a higher PPD.okay i'll disable the options in firefox. it's just odd i never noticed this before this GTX 570, the 200s didn't lag or did a 450 i had running for bit.

Its a bug they are working on. The 803X units are just terrible for screen and system lag. They also drive up temperatures up 15% over the 7612 units I have been running

I have experienced this. The only solution I have found is deactivating F@H.
I was thinking uninformative and non-committal, but BS works too.
