folding on HD5850 vapor-x

[dugdiamond]

for the past week i have been wondering why i havent been getting many WU, and hence low scores

today i found out that folding can be done on ATI cards as well, whereas i was always lead to believe that only nVidia cards were supported.

i went to the folding@home website and found the correct client in ADVANCED CLIENTS.

i installed it. shut it down. created a new shortcut for it and changed the target to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 0 -forcegpu ati_r700

YAY - now folding with ATI

CPU PPD was 80-100

GPU PPD expected 4000-5000

OMG - it's now flying trough the tasks

i have also just figured out that i can run both clients CPU & GPU along side each other...

so i now have PS3 + HD5850 + 1055T (all folding together) = loadsa WUs = loadsa points =

Good to see you are getting into it and yea you can run both hence i run 3x GPU (1x GTX260 / 1x GTX470 / 1x GTX460) + CPU (BIGadv)

second rig 2x GPU (1x GTX470 / 1x GTX460) CPU (SMP) ...
