So, about 2700 ppd more than a 470 and using less power...looks like a pretty good card to me
Seems like a complete rip off to me !
It costs nearly double what I got a 470 for. Does it double performance or halve the power consumption?
That's what I meant dude. Price to performance. If something costs double that of something else then by means of value it SHOULD offer double the performance. If it doesn't then it's not value.

It's all about perceived value. I understand what you're saying, but F@H can be a different beast. The king of folding is still probably the 460, in terms of ppd per dollar spent... but the 570 now beats the 480 in ppd, uses much less power, and is $100 cheaper. That in itself means for folding there is no longer a reason to get a 480. The 570 on newegg is around $350 here, and a lot of 470s still cost 280-299. So we're talking about a potential $50 difference for 2700 more ppd and using less power to boot. In terms of F@H that is certainly not a bad value.

nice im gonna wait like 4 weeks or so b4 i jump on anything and shift my 460's to fund it, ill drop a ton of points in the meantime but ill be gettin more 570's when the budget allows
just got a fantastic deal on a evga sc 570 from scan for £ 299 todays special barginnow for some serious folding lets see how it compares to my two gtx 460's happy folding dudes
Default around 15000PPD , overclocked more
got it running now ppd for the 570 is 16500k n the 460 ppd is 10k thats a 50% increase over the 460 nice
im going to put the other 460 in my lads rig along with his gtx260 what sort of ppd should i be looking @ on a q9650 @ 4.2ghz a gtx 460 n a gtx 260? think i'll get that folding aswell
this folding@home has sure got a grip of me
non 670x? is this a wu? im new to folding@home in fact im a complete novice full stop im new to the forums and overclocking its a whole new ball game to me.
ive gone from a aldi special[ medion ] to two self built rigs in the past 6mths n it all started with a gtx 260
since joining oc3d ive become addicted to overclocking ive gone a bit daft but wth i now have i7 950 , gtx 570sc n a gtx 460gs glh in folding rig no.1 and a q9650 , gtx 460 , n a gtx 260 in rig two. although ive given this one to my lad its still an official folding rig
thats when its not in full on battle in black ops that is
thanks for the pointers on my 260 n 460 they are happy folding away now ive just used the tracker as it auto configs the client for me. been having problems configering it manually probly just me being a noob lol any tips help or advice on getting the most out of my clients n hardware would be very much appreiciated
thanks in advance onwards and upwards is the only way to go happy folding dudes.
lol these 690x take for ages too its saying 2d 4h 55m to complete it seems to me that the smp client gets all the big wu [ days to complete ] n the gpu3 client seems to complete in 2hrs for gtx 570 n 3.5hrs for the gtx 460 i suppose it all goes of the wu you recieve atm rig 1 is @ 58k ppd n rig two is @ 25k ppd im climbing the rankings good style watch out guys im coming
theres one thing for sure this winter n thats i wont be cold going of the amount of heat thats being generated my cpu temps have been a constant 60c for the last 24hrs+ the noctuas nh-d14 is doing a sterling job. is it ok to run 24\7 with these temps? btw the q9650 is only just hitting 50c. 10c diffferance between 775skt n 1366 skt just checked rig two you jinxed me dude dam n blast 670x no to worry its all for a good cause
You should slap a Noctua D14 on it
Remember that WC Domino (CoolIt) i had(have, its in the closet) difference = 15c
A side note: the 67xWU seems to be a very importend one in regards to the sience , i guess that's why you get it in a row sometimes...
O yea crap i totally forgot ..
