Guide to Folding @ Home

yes i used -smp 4 and i did do the big packs thing

[mattyamdfanboi]

i do the big ones but not the bigadv ones.. dont think ive got the computing power..

[SpeedCrazy]

Yeah to run the -bigadv units you need 8 real or virtual cores. So without Intel's hyper threading you pretty much are locked out. Unless your sporting a server board/cpu.

I just got my GTS 250. So what client should i be running on it? The GPU3 client does not recognize it and i cannot get a non gui version of GPU2.

EDIT I got GPU to run. But i cut it off. Why does it ask to use cpu %?

To keep running bigadvs on my SMP client how much should i set? I do have the SMP client to -smp 7 instead of 8. Or is it not possible to run them both at the same time?

I prefer FahMon to monitor my folding progress.

[SpeedCrazy]

This is relevant, how?

[camaro_dude15]

you can run them both, my 5750 used some cpu percentage but it seems mosty nvidia cards dont need help from the cpu, but ive never had a 250, ill see if my 8800 does it when it gets here, also does anyone know if i can fold with my 450, 5750 and 8800 on the same pc without having issues, would drivers conflict? even with just 2 of them would be nice, i think the 8800 is a single slot card so i should have plenty of room

also will the psu in my sig power all three?

[SpeedCrazy]

So what percentage should i set it to?

So what percentage should i set it to?

 

 

100% it calls it cpu but it means gpu

[mattyamdfanboi]

Yer means gpu... Barely uses 20% on one core with gpu running, ull be sweet :-)

[SpeedCrazy]

Sweet. I on my way.

[mattyamdfanboi]

Awesome!! Don't forget to post ur total ppd now that u have the card! n then again when uve got both :-)
