Not sure which server as I'm hip deep to a tall giraffe in stuff right now. However somewhere between the 16th and 20th try it started.......at half the PPD of the XFX 260BE.
Right about the time I was reading this thread earlier, none of my stuff could be turned in or get new work - finally, just a minute ago I got more work, but I'll have to check through the logs if the WUs got sent yet ...
Really took a hit on my points the last 24 hours lol
I was having a problem with 171.64.65.56, but it appears to be working finally, after all these hours
Right now my mild OC on the card has trashed me seveal times with "hung" ups shortly after starting.......so have dropeed back to stock and see if it is still running when I get home!
In FahMon what heck does the color blue mean and what is this "working+" thingie???? This 4870, for me, seems to be turning into a total bust for folding!
Now if they could get with ATI and figure out why these card fold so badly!
This is something Stanford needs to address. The current and newer ATI GPUs have monster gaming power, and nvidia doesn't have much to offer for 6 months. They are even axing their high end GPUs. At this rate Stanford will lose some serious folding power.
When my 8800gts dies, I gonna be looking at ATI again, folding be damned.

On the other hand, Gaming does not equal F@H power, perse ...
The Folding power depends on the right hardware architecture and good quality supporting software and drivers to implement F@H in the GPU system.
nVIDIA has good architecture supported by their CUDA software, so for the past time, they were topping F@H power.
This could all change with GPU3 which is using better and more OpenMM code.
The interaction with the maker specific software (like CUDA) and new hardware architecture will determine the F@H yield of these new GPU systems ...
