Cool :yahoo:
Ace! I wonder if there'll be a Linux client?
the nVIDIA CUDA client is now available for download
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
Just loaded the new GPU2 client.. folding the supervillin core @ around 1% pr 15 sec, i wonder how much that WU is worth, cant be much else the PPD is gonna be MAD ;)
Where's my Linux GPU client? :ranting2::sad:
from what I have read they don't have the beta client working for 64 bit OS. Is that right? I want to get my 8800 folding :)

Quote32-bit Windows operating system, XP or newer (better Vista support coming soon); 64-bit Windows operating systems appear to currently be incompatible (We're working on this too.)

It failed to work on my XP64 :(
I tried the GPU2 client on my non-overclocked 8800GT.
It complained about my machine being unstable and didn't do diddly. I'm going to smack it with a shovel if some driver fiddling doesn't work.

You need to get the proper drivers if you haven't already got them (version 177.35 I believe)
I think I'll give it a shot on my BFG VGA GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 320 MB. :flirty:

Like I said...Yes, with the modded inf too, just in case, like.

Nothing like retro hardware:narnar:

:sad: And I was one of the first with a 8800 card.
Ahwell, atleast CoD4 is really good playable on it...
No syrupwaffles for you next LAN :devil:
I laugh at your syrupwaffles :sideways:
I saw them for sale somewhere recently... Arsebiscuits, it was Toronto airport!:sad:
Hmmm, maybe I will have to be nice now!:taz:
Oh, and my 8800GT is now running, FAHMon reckons it's worth 4000 ppd.

Changes:
6.12 Beta 7...
- Fixed nVidia FX/NVS detection
6.12 Beta 8...
- Support cpu affinity by default, this is related to an nVidia problem and awaits core-side changes.
- Fix saving of proxy settings.
- Add additional parameters field in advanced preferences - no more shortcut editing!!!
- UNSTABLE_MACHINE count reset after a correctly finished WU, for long-running systems
- Open configuration dialog box when invalid settings detected
- Changes to advanced configuration panel
This will NOT fix problems related to cores of course, like the viewer problems, nVidia desktop lag/lockups, etc.
Installation notes: You must uninstall the previous version before installing this version.

Enjoy...

Running beta8 with a hacked .inf set of 177.41. It folds but will it play Haddock6?
I'm disgusted, my GPU temp reached 39C:ranting2:
And, in other news, Haddock6 did indeed work and I shotted some people without the whole game crapping out.
Just gave up on previous core, had 5 completed WUs in the queue which were never sent and about to complete a 6th. Uninstalled, lost all 5 and now on the new beta. I hope these upload ok.
TL.

177.35 is in BETA (CUDA 2.0 BETA2)
169.21 is current STABLE (that's version 1.1 of CUDA)
I'm downloading now but again cause of the age of my PC (remember the monitor at LAN peeps? hehe) I'm not sure I will realistically be able to run it. :eyebrow:

What do you cool your GPU with?
D-Tek Fusion GFX block, cheapy Nexxos III radiator.
My GPU attempt failed miserably.
This morning:
F@H GPU Client
1) Installed the new drivers for GeForce
2) Installed the GPU client
3) Ran the GPU client and Errored with incompatible driver/system
nVidia nTune
4) Noticed nTune so downloaded and installed
5) Ran nTune - usual stuff about performance tweaking, thought "I cant be assed to do it all myself so why not let nTune do it (there is an option to let nTune do it, can't remember what it's called)
6) Fine for a few minutes and then it hung the PC. It does say PC will probably hang, but that it's ok cause nTune will carry on after reboot.
7) After hang, rebooted and PC failed to boot into windows
8) A couple more restarts and it still failed to get into Windows (desktop got there but nothing else)
8) Decide that nTune is foobarbed and therfore start in Safe Mode and run msconfig
9) Notice that the GPU client of F@H is in start up so wonder if that caused the problem so disable and start again
10) No change on restart so back to safe mode again
11) Safe mode and msconfig and disable nTune
12) no change again! PC still fails to get to Windows!
13) Stuff it, System Restore here I come
14) Everything fine after System Restore to pre-nTune and GPU client
Comments anyone?
install ntune before gpu client?
Quote from: BlueBall;235828install ntune before gpu client?
Cool, I might try that when I have an hour to spare (I'll need it for all the restarts later) :ranting2:
