Bringing f@h back? Did I ever leave?Been chugging along with a GTX 260 for a long time now but recently upgraded to a GTX 460 with shaders @1660MHz. Trying to run as close to 24/7 as possible which gets around 11k PPD.
guru, make sure you're running -bigadv on SMP machines which are capable. I think it requires 8 core minimum and a whole bunch of RAM, but don't quote me. It's worth a lot more points than standard SMP units but the deadlines are quite restrictive, IIRC.

Thanks Alpha. I do have my 8 and 16 core systems running -bigadv. Once I get the rest of my minions up and running we should be able to hit 1M PPD.
I'm having fun!!! I'm just not sure if it's net fun or gross fun.
wow guru, you passing us like we're standing still.
oh and, folding@home sure makes these video cards run toasty!
FYI, there are upcoming changes to -bigadv:

In short, you're gonna need 16 cores minimum.
The problem is thread count alone does not dictate system performance. My 8 core systems were completing the large units in under a day. A 3.4Ghz 8 core can rip through a WU faster then a 2ghz 12 core.

Woot, we just broke the top 200 teams.
