Running my X1650 Pro Turbo at 3d clocks I get about 234 ppd. I was hoping for at least 300ppd, but hey its only a X1650..

I'm trying to get the GPU client to work in WINE. That way I can try out GPU+CPU folding in Linux. It keeps telling me $ wine "c:\folding\GPU\FAH5.91beta2-console.exe"
Direct3D HAL detected
At present, only Radeon X1600, X1800, X1900 series, and ATI
FireStream 2U graphics cards are supported. You may wish to
consider running our standard client, which you can download
at folding.stanford.edu.

I know wine doesn't have DirectX 9.0c support yet so I copied the d3 dx9_30.dll from my windows partition to the Wine system32 folder. Maybe this is a drivers issue? I guessing it is a drivers issue...Anyone have any idea?

Oh and is it normal that when you run the GPU client that your screen/desktop lags really bad? Just moving the mouse around was really laggy. Opening Firefox...well I decided to just close it after it was open.

The one about only supporting X1600/X1800/X1900? or the slow/laggy desktop?

Other than the 256mb x1950 pro, all the 256 mb x1900's suffer the lag problem. So i guess it is the same on the 1650 with 256mb :shrug:

Since mine fold only, it is not much of an issue, but i don't think i could live with it on my main rigs.

Well I guess its nice to know its normal...but the ppd wasn't worth it anyway. If I'm in windows I will be fine with 2 regular instances.

All the 256mb cards have this lag problem other than the AGP and Pro version of cards. From what we can tell anyway.

Well mine is a Pro version! Probably because I have a X1650.

yah, I think I read on that FAQ that it won't work with WINE....I think its something to do with the drivers, because the client uses the DX 9.0c stuff....yahh.....
