ATI cards don't fold near as well as their Nvidia counterparts.

What exactly has you stumped? A screen shot can be very helpful.

i mean, i've read about this smp client. but i don't know how it works.
hmm, i think my ppd is low, coz i just started folding when i bought my card 2 weeks ago. and i was folding about a month ago with my built in gpu.

sounds more like you using the single core CPU client and not the GPU client. a screenshot of your fahmon or even of your task manager would help solve this.

This is because the card is using the GPU to make that graphic, taking away from folding. Is there a way to monitor ppd without opening up the display? I also know that when I'm folding while also using BOINC, I have to dedicate one of my 4 cores on the CPU to [email protected] It uses about 25% (1 whole core) IN ADDITION to the GPU. Very annoying considering the whole point point is to free up the CPU....but it's a reality nonetheless. I've tested this over and over, and it's just the way it is. If I try to use all 4 cores, THEN run [email protected] - then it won't even initialize properly because it can't get started without sufficient CPU utilization. This leads me to believe that you may partly being bottlenecked by CPU, unless Folding is all you're running. But it could still bottleneck it considering it's eating a 2.7 core up all itself. |
