What GPUs do to your crunching ...

In april I had only three slow GPUs to crunch - and they crunched mostly seti@home. I was quite happy about crunching (with 24 comps and the GPUs) some 55K - 85K per day ...
During the past 4 months I have upgraded my computers: I have now the following GPUs:
2 x GTX260 (new)
1 x GTX285 (new)
1 x ATI5750 (new)
1 x ATI5830 (new)
1 x ATI5850 (new)
--------------
2 x 9600GT (older)
1 x 8600GTS (older)

During the past week I have crunched a total of 2 163 764 credits.
Considering that the ATI5830 is only 24 hours old, the weekly production will go up ...
From 55 - 85K per day to 296 - 396K per day ... I am somewhat amazed.
And I still have plans ... I'll get myself at least one GTX460, probably two (if I can afford it) before Christmas.

And when the Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race will start, I think I will do better than the past years ... It will be my pleasure to coordinate and host that race!

It looks like that 5 million point lead I have in Boinc overall will vanish in the next week or 2!

Congrats on the new hardware, Peter! :)

I still have my 2 4850's and my GTX295 but they have cranked out quite a few points in the last 7 months or so.

I went from 8 million points overall in February to nearly 45 million today with the above hardware in combo with 3 ageing quads. My GTX295 was off most of the summer because of the heat it throws out.

The GTX 460 is a folding monster, not only are they cheap ($200), but they overclock faster/fast as GTX 470 cards.

I will most likely get another one for SLI setup.

I only have that and a GTX 260 and make it in top 20 producers each week. :)

My GTX275 gives 9,400 ppd* in F @ H and uses ~2% of i7 920 w/HT on.

*calculated from 8 of the last 12 days that didn't have a CPU WU

What ppd is the 460 ? And is that stanfords F@H ? Under what name ? I don't see you in the top 20. and at what speed ?

My 470's get 13,800 ppd ! (@705 mhz) I am looking at getting a couple of 460's. And does memory matter ?
