Our Visiting Racers - Welcome!

[ozzlo]

My compy has had a long history of problems with FAH, this has forced me into pseudo retirement as I never did figure out the problems.


But... today I decided i'm bringing her back for one last hurrah. Tonight I got it folding stable at stock. Tonight, a true zombie folding machine rises from the grave to fold for one more contest. It looks like it still has that issue where the PPD is getting halved for no apparent reason but there are no eue and I don't have time to do any major troubleshooting. If I see just 1 eue, i'm shutting her down. All indicators say solid stable. Perhaps whatever was going on was fixed in this new fancy client.

Han Solo - 'Don't worry. She'll hold together'.

Han Solo looks down at the black antec 1200 case beseechingly - 'Come on baby, hold together!'

Thanks for joining the race, Ozzlo!

I think your folder is quite helpful - in 10 days, that adds up nicely.

 

[belorsch]

Thanks to all of you for the help.

Hello, Long time lurker here. I thought I would add my rig to the cause for the next 10 days to help you guys out.
I'm running a 2600k@ 4.9 and a gtx 570 getting between 35 to 40k PPD.
And for what it's worth I have my PS3 folding as well but im not sure on the numbers yet.

Welcome! Hope you continue to fold after this event!!!!

 

[equinox]

hokie said you guys could use another folder. i can switch over from TRP for abit.

 

[Bobnova]

That'd be wonderful, thanks!

 

[hokiealumnus]

I put out a call for some folders at The Raptor Pit and one has already answered.

Huge thanks to equinox for joining the fight!!

 

[equinox]

good way to break in my new 2700k.
so by friday i should have running
2700k with a 7970
1090t with a 6970
fx8120 with a 6970
those should help.

 

[Fever]

Welcome aboard, equinox!! Glad to have you with us.

I wouldn't bother folding on the graphics cards as they would probably slow down the cpu more than they would produce.

I did, all is well

I will be adding an unlocked 550 be and a 8400 c2d to the fray tommorrow as well.

@KrazyKill: Excellent!

Equinox1 Those cpu's fold so well, and Radeon/AMD cards fold so poorly (they're optimized for integers and F@Home uses floating point values), that it will work out better if you don't fold with the gpu's.

Very glad to have you both working with us in this race.

@Brilliant recruiting, Hookiealumnus!

 

[hokiealumnus]

Fingers crossed.

If you know people that fold for XS, put the pressure on them to loan some hardware for the week!

 

[SF101]

its really too bad that f@H cant take advantage of the raw compute that the 7970 has

 

[Adak]

If these powerful ATI/Radeon cards had been around earlier, I'm sure they would have been used more. Creating powerful programs for hardware that doesn't exist yet, is unlikely at best.
