well, looks like the first WU on the above pictured card will take around 50 minutes......

Ahh but what card is it?

I assume a gtx285 or similar. both my cards complete a WU in just less than an hour like his so that's my assumption lol

just a 275 GTX

[InspectahACE]

just a 275 GTX

my cousin is folding his 295x2 for me!!!!

Cmon team E!!

[DL13]

Cmon team E!!

I'm doing what I can. If I didn't use my sons PC my number would be a lot lower. Both PC's are all most running 24/7.

[forsaken]

I have the PS3 and 3 computers running 24x7 and I can't seem to output squat compared to most.
Seems like Folding @home is skewed towards 500 dollar graphics cards instead of CPU ;-)

[DL13]

That's true. I'm going to keep up what I can do and see what comes out of it and know that the research can keep going.

[forsaken]

I worked for one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world and contributed to lots of research, im in it for the CPU ;-) Nah its all for a good cause, agreed. Good research.

[DL13]

So lets keep folding.

[spitter]

Members of team f, keep folding as fast as you can, I might be able to get Jesus to save us in the end!!!

[kylepaddock]

watch me unleash my furry 6461 points - 8175 points, hmm is that what i should get for 3 SMP clients who just sent their work?

[kylepaddock]

Am i on team D or F>??

You are on team D

.look.

extra points for consistancy?...estimated at 4000 and I hit that number fairly close everyday...can't beat FLAT OUT...as Scouty would say.." I'm given her all she's got cap'n, if I push her any harder she'll blow". "Damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a computer tech". How much help would SMP client add compared to regular CPU client...I have a dual core 3.0?

I think it would go up by bit

B.T.W. Spitter, nice production today!

[DaIceMan]

... but who can put up this stat or better (without cheating, of course)...

"[09:07:02] + Number of Units Completed: 2675"

yes and no. yes graphics cards are more efficient but no - don't have to be $500

my 1st. rig:
Q8200 @ 3Ghz - was $220CDN : 1500PPD
GTX275 @ 700core/1566 shaders - was $230CDN : 9000PPD

2nd rig:
D830 @ 3Ghz : 800PPD
GS8800 @ 680core/1730shaders - was $50after MIR: 4100PPD - probably the best cost/PPD card ever (same as 9600GSO 384MB)

[TraceHagan]

My i7 rig just went done to what I believe is a harddrive failure
good thing I have other rigs going
I should have it back up tomorrow

Petteyg359 and Jakegub, can I have confirmation everything is ok at your end regarding folding and if you're still in the running for the competition please.

Your team is currently taking a hammering, and so in the interest of fairness for everyone else; if you haven't got back to me or started producing again once the weekend is up I'm going to swap you out for someone on the standby list.

This isn't meant as a threat (though it sounds like one ), I just want to make sure everyone else in your team has a fighting chance. I'll be more than understanding if you let me know what's up.

Dan
