Folding on a 280GTX

[Desslok]

Hot Damn this thing is quick!

The best part is that Ebay/paypal/msft gave me %40 off! To top it off I sold my 8800 GTS 640 to a member here to further drop the cost down.

Now I just need to find a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter.

Sorry I had to gloat.

And gloat you should!

Great piece of hardware

Nice!!!

Great find and a very, very fast folder. Gaming will be good too if you're into that.


Fold like the beast you are,

Anxious to see what they really do....

Getting my GTX 260/216 on thursday and I would like to see the number comparison between the two.

Will the GTX 280's work with seti?

 

[Insidious]

I saw a post somewhere that mentioned Seti@Home had developed a CUDA based client. If that's true, then YES because that card will run CUDA apps like a banchee!

Well the GTX 260/216 just smokes out the points....🙂

Right now the 5671 client ( 384 point ) is at 6635+ PPD.

I would like to see what the 280's production is...Be a nice comparison

Sorry for the Noob question, but how can I get the PPD numbers?

 

[Philippart]

install a program called fahmon (google it) and configure it to your installed folding@home client

My 260/216 has been running @ 60c - 65c with 65% fan. Fairly quiet I might add.......very nice card.

NICE :thumbsup:

I just received a gtx 260/192 and put it in the q9300 in the basement and turned the fan up to 100%, it's hitting 50c. It's crunching a 5014 work unit and fahmon says it's hitting 7540ppd.

Thats pretty damn good. I think I had that WU and it crunched approx same numbers. Will double check as I have been fine tuning my 260. One thing is for sure, they are pretty fast!
