Sandbagging? not me

he just find the nitro buttom on his keyboard

I remember when we used to have turbo buttons on our computers. Went from a whopping 8Mhz to 16Mhz when you pushed the lil button. I am gonna have to bring back the Turbo Button!

Wow who put the Tesla_Server on Nitrous?

[Zenn]

Wow who put the Tesla_Server on Nitrous?

I was thinking the exact same thing last night...

[Saryn]

Well, certainly no way I'll reach top 10 anytime soon, so good luck everyone

I belive that server is used as a test bed. which is why it goes offline sometimes. in house useage. when they arer't using it it folds fo us. My guess is they did an upgrade to newer tesla cards or the ne WU for the old cards are worth more PPD.

Id keep folding but people are sandbaging as well as my temps here are Rediculus anyways now, 90c a day here... So about 25c higher temps on CPU ect. then they should be, we got hit with a massive heatwave here...

Gl to my fav guys, I know one of you will win =)

Sandbagers, tsk... tsk... tsk...

Once again Thanks Bjorn and Nvidia for contest, lets hope we find a cure for more things in the up coming years!

[Cody_Irwin]

not 90c its 90f Degrees here where I am so yea... lol Really need a edit button someday on bjorn haha.

Interesting to see newegg now has some GTX580's for less than 400.00. They are great Folding@Home cards.

GTX570's are now less than 280.00 WOW.

[brokenwave]

u mean 380?

[Joshua_Mahr]

I also have some reference ASUS GTX570's for 275.00 including shipping! Shameless plug to help folding...

After what I saw at the NVIDIA GTC conference, I want to see how the GTX 680's and 690's will fold. The folding programs do not work well with the advanced drivers yet, but the 580 is 512 cores at around 800Mhz. The GTX 680's run with 1536 cores at 1008 MHz. The 690 is two 680's with 98% throughput of two SLI'd 680's. The 600 series also use less power and generate less heat. Huge internal improvements in how the chips communicate and process data. Double precision is held back because these could give the $2500 TESLA cards a run for the win.

Then again at $1000 or so for a GTX 690, and no water cooling yet, guess I will wait a while for someone else to update the drivers and folding engines to take advantage of the processing power. No idea on the PPD for these boards.

Fold on!

Looks like at some time in the night my damn computer restarted and shutdown my Folding.

Sure hope it isn't the bass.

i think it's coming
