Hey team (and anyone else will to help out)
I'm still trying to iron out the wrinkles with core 16 on my 5870--transitioning to folding isn't easy for an AMD fanboy
The problem: anytime I run a game while core 16 gpu folding in the background under v7, the folding simply freezes. This might be fine if it would resume when I exited my game, but v7 doesn't resume, and requires a complete restart of fahcontrol and loses all work up to the last save. Restart fahcontrol and v7 thens resumes without a problem--at least no problem discovered yet.
I'm on the fence on folding on my 5870; this problem of freezing may be enough to quit using core 16 altogether as it cuts my smp PPD almost in half. This is true I've done numerous calculations and verified this. Nevertheless, it would still be worth folding both smp and core 16 in the fall/winter as it nets me an increase of 50% overall PPD over the smp alone if I can figure out a workaround for this problem.
