Default CPU OR GPU folding?
Hello guys, I want to ask if I should use my CPU or my GPU to fold (sig rig). I've read that I would need to force the gpu in order to fold on the 5770. What're your thoughts?

Folding with both shouldn't decrease PPD for either (not significantly, at least).

The thing is that I have to force my gpu in order to fold with it. I don't know how to force it though.

Use this flag for the GPU client:
-forcegpu ati_r700

And the 5770 will fold just fine

Make a shortcut to your folding@home-gpu.exe, rightclick and go to properties, and at the end of the "Target" field, just stick in the flag.

No need to force anything.
Search in the forums for notfred's and run the typical GPU client with the instructions you'll find in the folding@home download site.
Set team to 37726 in both clients and good luck.
