An ATI [email protected] Challenge

Alright guys and gals OCN is on a mission, a BIG mission. We're just 3 days from reaching the #10 [email protected] spot in all of the world...

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=37726

But we need more donors who can donate some of their GPU cycles for not only OCN, for a great science and health project.

You may have heard enough that ATI cards can't fold as well as Nvidia cards, and it may discourage you from even trying, but every point counts. It counts because we have some mean competition on our tail...

You're here reading OCN, you can read and still fold, too. GPU work units (WU) offer much more points than CPU work units, so you will also score higher faster. In but 7 days (or less), you can have over 12,000 points and be in the top 1500 to get your OCN folding postbit icon, too. In only three days on my stock rig, I have over 6500 points alone -- while still posting on OCN...

Surely even your overclocked rig can beat my stock rig, right?

I challenge any new ATI folder with an overclocked computer to be beat My Little Rig point spread. And I want you to come on this thread and tell it to me, too.

If you got it flaunt it, but it's no use if the package isn't even there.


So come on and join the OCN folding community, and see what records you can break -- we're shooting to be #1 and with you we CAN!!

My client apparently crashed in the middle of the night while I was sleeping


Well, not my client, my computer just froze and became unresponsive? I had to hit reset this morning to get it to even send a signal to the monitor, so I lost my first whole night. /sigh

Guess I didn't set something up right. Yes, I'm a noob at this.

I am currently folding my two 4830s. Just got set up a few days ago. I think I have 7-8k as of yesterday. Extreme has me at #1755 on the overclock.net team and moving up fast... See ya in the top 1000 soon....
My cards pull about 2500ppd according to fahmon. (each I believe) I was only running one until last night I finally stuck a dummy plug in the second and got it running. My ppd should be much higher today compared to the past couple days.
Ah, I didn't do a dummy plug, my monitor has an analog and digital input, so I just threw a dvi converter on my card and plugged the second card into the analog input. Figured that'd be the easiest solution.

Was wondering, as the updates weren't coming in.

Nice to seem more participating. Can't let Nvidia own everything!

Turned mine down to 90% to keep the temps lower (with the uniprocessor running, at times, the GPU was upto 77C). With this cooler morning, can also turn of the AC for about 20 minutes a pop, too. Now I just need to stay awake to finish 2 more WUs, as I'm a little behind today going out for breakfast (won't leave the computer on when I'm away or asleep, as the temps can and do creep up).

Nvidia only owns folding.
Thinking of helping out the cause. May start this afternoon.

Your 3 GPU clients would beat any of ours

Now people say ATI doesn't fold as well yet [email protected] comes w/ ATI drivers? LOL Weird.

How much more ppd would say a 280 get compared to my overclocked 4870 1gb.

Plus I obviously check the box to allow more memory usage.

I just searched my name and it says I have 3 WU's turned in, is it safe to assume my computer at home is still plugging away?

I am slowly starting to creep the folding ladder. I've got my 4850 going, and an 8600GT in my wife's machine.

Haven't decided if I'll be using my main pc (rig in the sig) or not. I don't leave it on while I'm away, its hot and runs up the power bill. I may run with it and wee how it goes.

The 280 would get almost double your PPD.
ATI is bundling [email protected] because they're the bright side
