GPU-FOLDING

[kilobravo]

found some older 280,285 and 295,just want to know if they are any worth ,folding.

Depends how cheap dude, as the 460's are the best PPD per pound really

 

[AMD_PBz]

As Tom stated 460's are excellent now if these cards are in your possession or could be had for realitively cheap you can run GPU2 no problem but aren't as efficient per say.

 

[kilobravo]

okay,thanks your reply`s .and they dont come cheap,100-150£ they want a piece,so i decided to find me a decent 460.

 

[AMD_PBz]

That's a much wiser choice my friend!

 

[kilobravo]

Well,just ordered my first green card,gigabyte GV N460SO-1GI, factory-oc 815mhz,hope to add some 11-13000ppd.If im lucky ill have it tomorrow morning and folding after some test and tweaks.

With the new WU's having a stable 3d mark vantage run or kombuster means nothing!

Watch your Temps in Afterburner at stock clocks be sure to manually adjust the fan as they will heat up that 460 in a hurry!

Okay,thanks your adwise mate

, hope the twin fans will manage temps.

They should be far more suffice than the reference cooling solution.

Make that GPU3

 

[AMD_PBz]

I didn't think you could fold GPU 3 with 200 series cards?

Oo freggle i thought we where talking about the GTX460 , you are right mate

 

[kilobravo]

Well,my new gigabyte 460soc has been folding 6h now ,900@1800@1050,and started right out with a ,wu 6811 1% in 8m28s average.

nice OC that stock volts or what

 

[kilobravo]

Yes,as far as i can se it stock volts,but i am using gigabyte OC-guru,msi afterburner had it crashed at 850. But most impressive is autofan at 47-49% and 64c,and i cant hear the fans at all
