F@H: New CPU and GPU2 clients released

[Foxery]

Official announcement
Note that there are some new packages available at the download page: WinXP Console and Vista Console versions if you prefer these to the System Tray version we've been using. (Console can be run as a service, for example.)

Old betas (6.12) expire on August 2!

There are new 6.20 versions of the classic single-processor CPU clients out as well. (link) Updates for everyone!

just updated my GPU client to 6.20 from 6.12 and its working fine now. didn't update my CPU because i've been using the 6.12 beta 2 SMP client that just came out

Does anyone else think the 6.20 GPU2 client is faster? Mine seems significantly faster.

Projects 5215 & 5218, 51s frames - 8131ppd
Projects 5006 & 5008, 54s frames - 7680ppd

These are both up a few seconds/frame, especially 5006 & 5008.

running 3 systray clients here (because we need to pause them often when playing, etc... )

They don't seem to show any significant change in speed.

(you're not accidentally running uniprocessor clients on your SMP are you?)

got it. still not seeing anything better on the 4850 than I got with the old 3870 :|

@Cutthroat: The nVidia core was updated this week, too.
@bryan: The ATI core hasn't been updated, so no speedups for us yet. Hopefully now that the client portion is "done," they can focus more attention on the ATI core!

 

[Cutthroat]

I had the new core (1.08) already even before upgrading to 6.20. I dunno, my GPU times are way faster than before, SMP times haven't changed, I am running SMP, I'm crunching 2x p2665 right now.

Any 64 bit support?

 

[Cutthroat]

Works fine with 64bit, but it's not a 64bit app.
