P6800

Ouch - best to leave off -advmethods for now then if you have a Fermi.

Points and Deadlines:

P6800 -- 1298 points, preferred deadline 4 days, final deadline 10 days

P6811 -- 7202 points, preferred deadline 13 days, final deadline 18 days

Tobit's PPD Estimates (Overclocked):

GTS450 - 7000 PPD

GTX460 - 9400 PPD

GTX470 - 14K PPD

GTX480 - 14.5K PPD ** stock clocks

EDIT: Also note that 6811 runs about 10 degrees warmer, at least on 450's and 460's, due to the heavy shader loading.

I really don't know what Stanford think they're playing at?! The 460 has given them thousands of extra CPUs to Fold on, thanks to the ease of configuration and the low cost to high PPD ratio. And yet they seem happy to either cut the PPD or half kill the cards with this WU that make them squeal like they're about to explode.

I can't talk about the squealing, but I don't think they are purposely trying to cripple 460s. From what I've read, WUs with high atom counts really bring out the differences between 580 - 480 - 460 - 450 (ie cards with more shaders do much better...the 450 seems like it's going to be pretty bad at folding with these WUs because of the low shader count, 460 fares just a little better). Unfortunately if the trend continues of going with high atom count WUs then the 460s may no longer be the king of folding.

6811's run far hotter! had to set fans to 100 and add a second 120mm fan for added air flow to keep my twin frozr ii 470 @ 80c on stock settings

it also doesn't help that it's a balmy 8c out rather than around freezing
 
Is there a way I can get more PPD out of my 8800gt?

Currently I use the normal graphical client and i get a bunch of these 4xx point WUS.
 
got one of these, 6-7c more and about 11.5k ppd (460 at 850/1000)

Ya mines @ 715/900, the temps dont bother me as its only @ 57c max @ 40% fan, still 20c cooler than my 8800gt's @ 50% & 75% fan

Arrgh the squealing, please stop the squealing

hey if i tilt my head a certain way the noise goes away, maybe having alot of wax in ones ears isn't so bad after all

Mine neither and a 611WU is around 11000PPD these are a tad more, i am not so sad about them
huh.gif


EDIT i take that back some WU's are
