road-runner Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 but does the graphic performance suffer? Good question maybe Frank can answer that for us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKillSteal Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Fired this up on my 9600GT and gave it full access to the CPU and I've got to say, this new GPU client is incredibly fast compared to the last time I ran F@H. +1 for OCC's folding army.

ccokeman Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 As long as the client is minimized in the tray the cpu usage stays low and the client just flies. If you use the viewer and look at the client it is much less efficient because the image has to be rendered as well as the work being done on the client. Downloading this now to see how it does on the 9800gx2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm excited to see what a 9800gtx can do with this. Â It occurs to me that you could build a folding 'super computer' with the right hardware and multiple instances of various clients. I'd be interested to see what the max PPD you can get from on 'rig' now will be. I figure we won't need to build farms anymore.

hardnrg Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Would you say the GPU client is so good that I'd actually get more PPD by running the GPU alone on 8800GTS SLI than GPU and LinuxSMP clients at the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 hmmm, how do you guys think an 8600GT will run this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Can't answer that. Just try it. Not that I need you to make it even longer before I overtake you... Hey the more ppd for the team the better.

werty316 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) A user in the Stanford forum mentioned he is getting ~1330PPD on his 8600GT..., I think... Edited June 18, 2008 by werty316 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKillSteal Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 3 WU's/196points in just above 2 hours on my 9600GT, about to be 4 WU in ~10 minutes. Of course it's a big step up from an 8600GT but it'll still churn out some nice PPD. Â @ Hardnrg: No multi-gpu support yet but I'm sure someone will figure out how to run an instance on each card. That's gonna put out some wicked PPD... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 no multi GPU support... surely... bah... it must support multi GPU Tesla, surely that's the whole point lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 yeah, I'd love to see what an instance to each client (ati & nvidia) can do running at the same time. That would also be interesting from the standpoint of finding out which brand of card churns out more WUs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
