#18 now. About to pass pwn247 I just OCed my GPU to a stable 690/1800/2060 and the results are mighty good.

I'm getting HUGE WUs...taking hours at a time to finish. When do I get a 5min one?

[_TW_]

You don't.  All GPU work units are the same, 480 points.  BTW - What time did you work today?

I was in at 9, out by 12:45ish. All we did was empty the trucks out on the pad and we were done  . I think I saw your car, you see mine on your guy's break? I think we are working together tomorrow sometime to fill up the trucks.

You gotta get MSN set up, bro.

Yeah a spot over.

Didn't finish? How many people were with you? Sound like something you'd like?

There were only 4 people including me, but Tim ( I think his name is) kept getting interrupted by people wanting to see a whole bunch of paperwork so finally at 2:00 he let us go.  Really just sat around doing nothing for about 3 hours today lol.

Well we sat on the De-ice pad for about an hour before Jim remembered us, lol. I got pulled over for not crossing the Microwave bars right after I swiped my card - That was good   .

Getting paid to sit around, why not! What were yall doin around 9am? I saw Tim downstairs just hangin out.

[tropicalfish]

lols, you guys work at the same place?


Got two WU's done yesterday/today, from two different computers in my house.

[_TW_]

We were over at the old terminal getting the picture ID's and taking that safety test on the computer.  We were there until around noon.

Oh I see. Well don't expect that badge quickly...Took them 2 FULL weeks for my badge, and I'm still waiting on my customs seal.

Hows MSN commin along?

My stock 512MB 8800 GTS kicks out 5316 PPD, is that good?

Chris.

Yes that is good, but you could easily bump it up to around 5800-6000 PPD if you downloaded RivaTuner and increased the Shader clocks on the cards.  Leave the core and memory at stock.

More info on how I can do this...Pleaseeee  

[_TW_]

Works on Nvidia cards.  Simply download RivaTuner.  It's a program that overclocks your graphics card.  The shader clocks are what matter most in Folding, core and memory clocks really don't matter much.  RivaTuner allows you to overclock the shaders by themselves but don't forget to increase fan speed as well.

What settings should I apply? I don't want to kill my GPU!

[VFR_Pierre]

You guys work together? That's pretty cool. As for the settings, just advance slowly up and test the stability and get as far as you can. I want to hurry to pass pwn247
I have 2 rigs doing this, the one in my sig, and an old HP w/ a 2.8GHz Pentium 4. And it's slow.

He got me rolling...Should be kickin out points now!

Since this thread was mentioning PPD (and I cant edit my last post in my other topic):
Yesterday I managed to get 6,318!!!!! And the day before that was 4,800 exactly. Lol.
And I am basically folding GPU2 24/7 now, so FEAR ME!

[_TW_]

No worries, not fearing you one bit haha.  My PC averages around 7,200PPD and am folding on another one right now that's doing close to 8,000PPD on just the GPU.  So yeah...not worried one bit in catchin you haha.
