There is a new PPD king in town for F@H 16,751 PPD

OK, I just got my new Thuban 1090T and overclocked it to 4127 mhz , 2600 HT.

Its doing over 16,750 PPD on the SMP2 client . & hours for a WU. And its on a $80 motherboard !

There is a new king in town.....

6 hours to complete a SMP2 unit.

On a more serious note, my Core i7 920 gets 13k ppd at 3GHz. These clocks aren't the highest I can get, they're far away from the highest I can get with my fairly amateurish overclocking skills. They're just the best I found to allow me a mix of computational power and power-saving. So, at 75% of your clocks, and with 67% of your core count, I can equal your ppd.

Looks like 6 full cores beats the 4 plus HT.

I looked later, and it was up to 9k. The new smp client doesn;t like 2 running at once. But my 920@3.7 can still only do 9k, not 13k.

Mr Pedantic, I don't know how my higher clocked I7 can get that much less than your 3 ghz one. I have HT on. Did you turn yours off ?

Pwned.

There are possibly a few reasons why your SMP client is running much slower than mine. Probably the best one is the fact that you're running 2 GPU clients alongside, especially in XP. That cuts down the ppd of the SMP client a lot.
 
That is because I was using my computer to reply to your message. This, however, does not change the reality of the situation, which is that clock for clock, your i7 runs SMP2 at about 78% the speed of mine. There is something wrong with your client.

The GPU client uses NO cpu to run, but I am under XP pro 32 bit.

Yes, it does. But if you're right and it doesn't, then what is causing your low production? When I was at 3.54GHz I was pushing nearly 17k on some work units, and about 15k average.

Hey guys. I'm a folder, but not on the AT team, but I noticed this thread and just wanted to mention that the core i7 can get 20,000 ppd as long as you have HT on and clock it to around 3.6ghz

It's kind of tricky...you need to either be running native linux, and enable the "bigadv" flag, or you can do it within windows using VMware. EVGA's team has a nice virtual machine image that is already set up and optimized for bigadv folding.

Good luck
 
Wow! 😱 😀 Not only for the Thuban 1090T and overclocked it to 4127 mhz , 2600 HT., but your whole plethora of machines Folding :thumbsup: :awe:
 
Well, it doesn't help PPD, but I did get my Crucial C300 256GB installed now. Talk about blazing fast. ZOOOOMMMM!!!!

Yeah. This is another advantage for Core i7. With -bigadv a 930 can push 20k easily, and with a 4GHz overclock (which isn't too hard) it can get up to 25, 30k. Whereas I have yet to see a Thuban processor run a bigadv WU, either native or in a VM.

You, sir, have way too much money... 😉
 
I get 14k PPD with my i7 @ 3.6 with SMP and 8 cores so do I get to be the winnar?

This screenshot was at 13k later that night I was at 14240-14550 PPD.

If you are running an ATI card as the GPU client you need to feed it with one core or it will lower the processor PPD if both are running.

I not sure on NV gpu's.

So I have to setup SMP 7 if I plan to run both CPU and GPU folding at the same time.

From what i've seen you will only break 20k on an i7 if you are running SMP2 and - bigadv in a VM.

Then i've seen 24k PPD.

Why run two smp clients?

Why not just run one and force it to use all 8 cores?
 
It looks like HFM is calculating your ppd incorrectly.

A p6054 at 3:55 per frame should give 12,036.47 ppd
Here is an online calc - http://www.linuxforge.net/bonuscalc2.php

The NVIDIA GPU client does use some CPU. Mine shows ~2% in Task Manager which adds up to ~16% of one core.

The GPU client cuts in my CPU -bigadv ppd by ~2,000 to 4,000 ppd, it's almost not worth running the GPU and when I don't need the heat this summer I will probably stop GPU folding!

folding on a CPU, thats so 2005

With the bonus, CPU folding is back!
 
Well, I am runnign 182 drivers. I see Not even 1% for the gpu clients.

As far as the other comments, just me just say that the 920 looses to the X6 all the time, both running XP 32.

I know they may be higher in win 7, but then the X6 would probably also be better in win 7.

I still maintain that its the PPD king for the $300 cpu range. And the $80 motherboard vs the $170 Intel motherboard makes the deal sweeter.

If you guys don't believe me, keep buying 920's, I don;t care. I have both. If anyone else has both, and both running win 7, lets hear benchmarks !!

BTW, right now its running 16,751 ppd.
