I am running it right now, It was found by a folding team member but I thought I would post it here (Credit to NoWhereM for finding it)

It's a direct download, It doesn't say. I think it's G80 cores and up.

Thats what I was wondering. I was trying to read about this and such but I only caught pieces that said CUDA works with DX10 supported cards, but I wasn't sure if it would be Vista only (which would be stupid....)

Blake, is it running on your 8800GTS as we speak? and then do you have Vista? (I suppose we could answer our own questions then! )

*a GeForce, Quadro, or Tesla card that supports CUDA card which supports CUDA (G80 or later for the most part)
*A CUDA capable driver, version 174.55 or later
*32-bit Windows operating system, XP or newer (better Vista support coming soon); 64-bit Windows operating systems appear to currently be incompatible (We're working on this too.)

^Straight from the Stanford site, And it's running on my 8800GTS 640Mb on XP. And I have a quad, 8800GT 512, and Vista 64bit, all should be arriving any minute.

This is sweet!! Did they develop this client themselves or did a third party? I wonder how fast it can process a WU...

go check out the F@H section for more info, this thing fold WU crazy fast on an 8800 and higher. its compatible with anything that supports CUDA so any 8 series and above.
standford seems to work with several groups to get the clients made.

If I manage to get a GTX280 I will try to get it to run on that. Should be uber fast

are the 9600's in sli? if they are turn it off so it can use both, the CUDA system the gpu2 folding client uses doesnt use both gpu's when sli is turned on.
