They are up on my &quot;private&quot; DL site.
Only for use if you are beta tester and messed up your official download.

 

[Fingers]

does anybody know if it faster than version 2.7¿

 

[TuffGuy]

using the same wu:

v2.70 - 3h8min
v2.76 - 3h47min

 

[Fingers]

i've downloaded it, but i'm not sure whether or now i want to install it

 

[office boy]

Fingers, Are you in this for just your stats?
Or the science? If you are going to run the Beta client, you should ALWAYS run the newest one.
What if 2.7 is missing something? What if you processed a unit with THE signal, and 2.70 missed it?
IMHO you should either use 2.4 or the newest beta available.

I agree on using the newer client, and it doesn't appear to be that much slower.

Every once in awhile I would get a wu that would take twice as long with v2.70 does anyone know if this is still happening with the newer betas? I quit using the beta after I tried v2.70 and got some long wu's.

All of this won't matter for long. I'd guess when v3.0 comes out they'll stop taking results from the old clients pretty quick. Then it will be a moot point anyway.

 

[Fingers]

i'm not in it just for the stats, but i never looked at it that way, i was looking at it as possibly faster = more WU's and more searching for ET.

 

[office boy]

blade_47 yes that does happen, if you have a WU with a gaussian, triplet, or pulse, there is quite a bit more work that is done.

Aprox plain WU = 1.5Teraflops
Gaussian = 3.2Teraflops
Pluse or triplet = 2.4Teraflops

 

[BadThad]

What the hell is that OB? You gonna give me the pw?

 

[office boy]

I don't know if &quot;Anandtech&quot; is the place for that.
