Lots of good info especially regarding the ATI client, the upcoming v7 client and server issues.

Nice read, thanks riot!!

A lot of legitimate concerns raised and a few decent answers, nice job by Vijay to come in promptly and respond as he did.

Looks like some significant changes are on the horizon, so my current hardware will stay as is until the new cores/clients are released. I have seen past changes that have dramaticaly changed performance of existing hardware and not always for the better.

Let's hope that PG keeps working on getting it right and pays a little more attention to the concerns of the donors. And yes, 7im is still 7im

that was a nice read hopefully it all gets sorted out but thats quite mad that so many big folders have left cause of the problems that we all get from time to time

I am almost sorry but its about bloody time they do something about this(these) subject(s) IMHO!!!

shame it needs people to stop to get them to do something

A very well put letter of concern followed by a very professional response.

I especially liked the name dropping of 7im...

Imagine recommending an AMD card for folding. *gasp*

 

[thestepster]

i know but hopefully they pull something outta the hat so they can get ati cards to fold twice as good as they currently do

Nice i'd rather fail then NO points at all

BTW i just closed re-started the clients and we have new WU's again

 

[thestepster]

yeah mate i always restart the client if on afterburner there is a gap bigger than 2" from the end of the load on the cards and gettin a new wu, as the time is pretty small on the new ones
