do'h... I was hoping they'd have gotten the 4890 up and running on f@h

Yeah I think more reviews should include these benchmarks now. I have noticed the Tech Report including Folding in one of their CPU reviews.

I believe the F@H client detects your GPU when it runs, and if they haven't put your model on the list... well, it doesn't run. They'll have to compile a new build with the latest model numbers.

maybe that's why i'm having difficulties getting my 4350 to run.

Make sure you have the latest drivers and GPU folding client.

Without methodology for coming up with his ppd, the numbers are worthless...was this just doning one unit, the same unit on all machines and if so which one? Did he take a an average throughout a 24 hour period?

i can tell you with a 9800GT 512mb version superclocked....650,1652,950 (core, shader, mem)

approx ppds w/ WUs...

511pt units (slowest) = 3200ppd
353pt unit (fastest) = 5300-5400ppd
768pt unit (medium) = 4400ppd
1680 unit (largest less heat) = 4300ppd

my oc'd settings 650,1755,950 (core, shader, mem)

approx ppds w/ WUs...

511pt units (slowest) = 3500ppd
353pt unit (fastest) = 5800-5900ppd
768pt unit (medium) = 4600ppd
1680 unit (largest less heat) = 4500ppd


also note when I went from the older CUDA drivers that used 25% cpu per gpu to newer drivers that use 0% I actually saw a decrease of 200ppd on average across the board...

I use to get 6000+ on my 9800gt with overclocked settings before the new drivers...but I like the 50% cpu usage back that the gpus were taking...

Yes, I keep hearing ppd numbers that don't jive with mine. I have quite an assortment of cards, from 8800 gts 320 meg to 260 gtx 216 super clocked. My ppd number jive with Duvies for the cards I have that are the same as his, but many other people report numbers I can't believe.

NOTE: We are both using win XP, and that may affect the numbers.

i'm pretty sure i have the latest... since i'm running 9 other ATI cards.

Good point but we cannot tell that either because the commentator in the link doesn't mention any of those pertinent facts.
