News Your folding team needs you

When running the GPU client, some CPU is used to tell the GPU what to do, but this is only a few percent. If you have a dual core CPU you can run both, if you have a triple or quad then you can run the GPU client and the SMP client. For single cores just the GPU client as if a CPU client runs aswell it will detriment the GPU client.

 

Hmmm says its running on my 8800gtx.... how to change it so it uses my 8800gts which has the cuda support?
Or am i best leaving it as it is?

 

Cheers.
As I'm running a dual core I guess I'll download the standard single core client and run both then

 

You'll need to download another GPU client for your 8800 GTS. As setting up additional clients is pretty complicated, I'd suggest picking up the latest issue of the mag which has a 17 page guide or heading over to the folding forum.

 

At the end of the program pointer add "-gpu N" Where N is the GPU number, the GTX is probably 0, so try 1, you can also run it on both cards by running two instances with the "-gpu N" flag.

 

I'll start folding when it get's added to Boinc.

 

This is unlikely I'm afraid, there are a number of fundamental differences between the two architectures which can't easily be resolved. It was attempted a few years back, and failed.

 

I need to read 17 pages in order just to change which card F@H runs on ?!!!!

I see, hmm tried playing with that before, made no difference what so ever.
And I gave up with trying to run multiple instances yonks ago.

Oh well screw it, ive already part of the team from years back, and have a bunch of machines at work where ive installed it as a service (much to my boss's dislike) since way back, that do run 24/7.

 

I got it running on a 4400+ round the clock.
