Folding on 2 9800GT's

Well, it took me a bit to get this going after I received the second card today, followed a couple of guides written for XP that didn't work for Vista x86 though I got enough hints to get this going after a meal and a good nap!:-D

Install the GPU client, delete the shortcut from the desktop, copy the 3 .dll's and the client to the two new folders you created called GPU 0 and GPU 1 for example, create the shortcuts from each folder adding the respective flags to the shortcuts, '-verbosity 9 -GPU 0' and '-verbosity 9 -GPU 1', it's as easy as boiling water!

I have to brag a bit here of course, this is the PPD of the 384 point projects @ stock speeds. BTW, this is running the 188.08 drivers which has improved the folding by %10 according to nVidia and they're right! Folding using the 178.08s was about 3.6K PPD. I can't wait to OC these suckers, but that's for tomorrow with a fresh brain!:-D

 

Ok Augie your upping the stakes with 2 cards folding, way to go

 

Thanks Bill, it was my Christmas present from the gf.

 

That was a very nice present augiedoggie. Kudos to the gf.:-D

(And kudos for you on the folding points.):major

 

I am now out of the chase with 1 GTX 260,i have no chance of getting another one in my tower.
You know the trouble i had getting mine in.

maybe in the new year i will build another PC with a bigger case and a new motherboard?

I think you have been up most of the night playing with your new toy.

Did you use the driver disk that came with the card or download from Nvida the way i did (they are newer than the disk)

 

LOL Bill, I have been up all night! Darn insomnia) rolleyes:-D Ya, I grabbed the current drivers from nVidia, nice to see that we don't need the CUDA drivers anymore!:cool

Out of the chase Bill? No way man!!! That's a great card! If you were chasing me then just blame the gf. She doesn't come here.:-D What I always say about folding, affordable butt kicking! :-D There's no way I could ever come close to Trei's stats especially since he stated getting a 280 into his mix along with his three 8800GTXs, I'd have to eat Spam for a couple of years just to get a 280 which ain't gonna happen!

 

Here in Belgium the 280 is near $500.
I wanted a 280 but my PC store did not have one in stock,he only had 260s so just by a stroke of fate i got the 260.

He tells me that the 280 can perform up to 30% faster
