The GTX 680. IT isn't folding because it will never start. Not supported someone stated earlier in the thread.

Anyone else having a break in their folding? The program won't even start up again :? Edit: Never mind. Restarting the computer helped.

Our team is kickin' butt right now.

We've produced over 1 million points so far in October (roughly a 20% increase month-over-month) and it's only the 24th!

Can I just say...it's cool to actually be able to communicate with my team mates via this forum. Up until now, I've never been able to say anything to other folders on the Gamespot team. I don't know if they're part of the Gamespot community anymore.

Anyway, I want to climb up to team rank 440 if we can. Then I kinda want to play X-COM. I'll keep folding of course, but...X-COM.

I got another 2 day WU. They take more like a week by which time they are barely worth any real points.

You get the opposite of me. I get so small WU that I don't earn as many points as I can if I got larger ones.

I "blame" all of you!

...but you're right Nirgali is a beast at folding. I think he's in the same situation as you...waiting for Stanford to update the cleint drivers so that 600 series cards can fold. So when that is up and running you guys are going to absolutely dominate. I can't wait. I won't be able to take advantage of it, but you guys are going to become MVPs.

Did anyone notice this sad news about PS3 folding?

I don't know about me. Now it seems to be going really slow for me. Having a PPD at as low as 3K now. :? Dunno why but it seems to use 4 hours on WU that has a base credit at less than 200. Then somehow it uses less than 5 hours on units having up to 600 or 700 base credit. Those usually give me 5-6K points. :? And no, I hope they don't do that. In about 6 months I believe I will have to more or less stop folding. :( I wished I could still use my PS3 for it as it would be easier than using the computer.

Yeah, I actually know what you mean about the PPD.

The only reason why my PPD is high is because I've been folding for a lot of hours lately. If I folded for the amount of time that I used to, I'd only be at 4K-6K PPD. Remember, I have both my i7 and my GTX 560Ti folding. There are some of you who are folding only with your processor because of the folding client not supporting your video cards. So essentially, I'm using 2 folding clients to your 1...and I still have to fold over 12 hours a day to get the PPD I have.

Once we hit 440 I want to play X-Com and finish my Witcher campaign so I can import the save file into The Witcher 2. Again, I'll still fold, but my PPD will probably be cut in half.

At any rate, it's been a blast feeling like a team instead of separate people randomly contributing to the same pool of points. I wish we had more active team members. There's over 1,000 inactive members. Even if people only contribute 250 PPD it would still be great to have more people active.

Once they open it up to the 600 series nvidia Keplar GPU's i should gain an extra few thousand a day. I was so disappointed when i found out that my brand new GPU couldnt help me fold when even my 8800GT earned something for me.

It shows up as Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970] So yes, it is supported. I'll be able to leave this noisey thing on during sleep hours in about a week after I've moved to new apartment. Now, if I can just overclock this thing.

Man, I cannot wait to see your PPD in the next few days.

So does this mean that everyone with a 600 series card can do GPU folding?

@Kurushio horgen123 got his running, any luck?

37K PPD. It could be higher if I got bigger units on the CPU as it is running at 13K PPD and not 24K PPD as it can.

Well it worked for me. GPU whitelist 0x10de:0x1183:2:3:GK104 [GeForce GTX 660 Ti] yours is there. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see the 600 series about a quarter of the page up.

Just because the gpu is on the white list doesnt mean that there are WU's open to it. It's still worth another shot though.

Team rank 440. An absolutely phenomenal effort team! We did 1.5 million in the month of October and climbed 15 ranks!!

Also, congratulations to horgen123 (Von Loch) for taking the top folding spot.

Damn it. Now it takes a bit of time for me to move up a spot :( horgen123

I remember when I first started folding on my PS3. I was in the 900's in team rank. Shakes and Calkulon were at the top of the list...not too different from now really.

I thought 'who cares? I'll never get that far up the list anyway.'

Eventually I started folding with my PC. With the vastly increased PPD I started to rocket up the list. Then I hit the wall of the top 15.

Is any of this sounding familiar?

Well there is a new version they released and now my CPU is back folding and now so is my 660 Ti. It took a bit of time for it to start folding after starting the program. I didnt think either were going to work.

Right now it says my PPD is between 20-23K. Really liking the GPU since im getting about 800pts per hour of folding. Also unlike with my 8800GT folding i can still watch netflix. Before it would lag everything so bad that if i was using the computer i would have to pause the GPU. Now there is still a very slight studder on netflix but really not too bad and not noticeable while using the computer on anything else so far.

Yeah, folding during the cold months are the BEST!! Having your PC act as a space heater is killing two birds with one stone.

Although, really, I have no right to talk about cold months. I've never lived in a place where "truly" cold months happen.

Also, team rank 439. Woot!

You know, with our new team PPD we've really got some decent upward momentum. I don't know where the wall is for this PPD, but we don't seem to be anywhere near it yet. The teams that appear on our conquest list are still sooner than our soonest threat.

That's what i used to do with my PS3 but now it really isnt worth the points, time, and energy on it. I am glad i have a massive cooler on my i7 and the twin frozer on my vid card plus an Antec 900 case. I think the only way to cool my stuff more is to go to liquid. Even with folding on my 660 Ti the temps usually stay under 60C with EVGA Precision controlling the fan. Way better than like 80C my 8800GT would get up to.

I only need to open the window for 10 minutes and my room temperature drops to about 10C I believe... And it is only late autumn, early winter still. The coldest months are yet to come. Looking forward to get the next unit done. Should give me about 10K points. Atm it says 11.2K but I have to turn the computer off for the night.

That's a good PPD. Mine fluctuates a lot. I've had anything from 53K to 20K.

I got another of the annoying 1.5 days one which take more like 3 days at best for me to get done and hardly worth the time. The GPU is by far the best since so far they havent been bigger than 3.5hrs and around 1800 points has been the worst with most being 2400 for 3hrs. And i can pause it and it wont hurt me. I guess in the end it's not about points and what we are doing may contribute one day to our own health down the road, but the points sure do make it more fun and much more worthwhile in the short term.

I never get the larger ones like you do. Biggest i get take about 15-16 hours for the CPU. As for the GPU i get some that gives me about 6k points at most.
