How much do you think a PCI 9500GT would net me?

800-1000ppd top out around 3k

EDIT:

The 9500GT only has 32 cores so it will be very slow to fold, probably 2-2.5K PPD at best, even overclocked you'd be lucky to get it above 3K.

a quote from foldingforum member TFarchive

keep in mind the pci bus is slower then the PCI-E so your points will be alittle lower

hat · Sep 24, 2009

if only I could get one for cheap... real cheap.

deathmore · Sep 25, 2009

hey guys how much would a 8600 gso 256mb get in ppd i might be able to grab one for free from my roommate for installing and upgrading his computer would it be worth it to fold it along with my gtx 285 as it needs no power cables.

what is a 8600GSO? never head of them. Are you sure its not a 8600GT/GTS or a 8800GSO?

deathmore · Sep 25, 2009

i know for sure its 8600 gso i might be wrong but that's what the sticker said i believe like this thing is so cheap it has no ram coolers and a small 20 cent fan on the gpu.

from the VARY LITTLE info i could find it looks to be basically a 8600GT... if that holds true about 2-3k like the 9500GT

deathmore · Sep 25, 2009

would it be worth it then if i can get it for free along side my gtx 285?

not really worth the extra money to run it

deathmore · Sep 25, 2009

it doesent need extra power conector its powered from pcie slot and collge pays the hydro unless you mean to much of a pain to setup and maintain.

give it a try then. I don't think it will really be worth your time to even put it in but do it and see how it goes

If Johnspack or someone wants this 9800GTX+ PM me! If I can get it sold AND sell my 9800GT I have folding I will replace them with a 260 216 (preferably from a member here

) to keep up my PPD while I wait for GT300.

johnspack · Sep 25, 2009

Please check and see how much to ship that gtx using us post, even ground ship, I don't care. If you use a small enough box, the shipping can be cheap. If you can't sell it by my next cheque, I'll figure out how to pay for it and paypal you....

theonedub · Sep 25, 2009

I will check and get back to you.

In other news I have a GTX 275 coming my way which will replace my GTX 260 216 in my WCG0 rig and the 260 will replace my 9800GT in WCG1. I wanted to wait to sell the 9 series cards before upgrading, but I have been eying this 275 for a minute and couldn't resist any longer

I think that wraps things up for this calendar year, next stop will be i7 and GT300 and the retiring of my E2200.

johnspack · Sep 25, 2009

I pulled my 7600gt and now I can do 3.9ghz 24/7 stable, weird. Just can't get 4 stable, just as well, I like 1.344v, don't want to use more! I may even be able to fold this thing at nite... any point folding a dual core?

Mindweaver · Sep 25, 2009

Has anyone bought a 5870? Does it fold well?

Mindweaver · Sep 26, 2009

Where are my folding brothers? Did someone have a lan party I didn't know about?

thebluebumblebee · Sep 26, 2009

I just don't think that there's any reason to get excited about the HD58xx's in terms of Folding considering ATI's history. IF the HD58xx is a good Folder, don't you think ATI would be shouting it from the mountain tops? I have my hopes, but I'm not holding my breath.

On a different note, a conversation with someone selling 5 GTX260's on CL lead to finding out that he's a dedicated EVGA Folder. He tried to recruit me and I him. After sending him a link to our "Gearing up for the HWC Battle !!!", he said that he'd throw a box with 30-40K our way in about a month. :cool:

He still has some nice Folding equipment for sale, like 3x 260/216's, an EVGA 790I SLI FTW Digital, and a HX1000.

ATI HD 5870 folding@home info

GPU F@H was also a project I initiated and ran at Nvidia I also started Nv's Folding@home team (team W.A....) initially for my test suite of machines. I'm still sometimes surprised at the enthusiasm around this.

The engineer I was able to borrow to do the CUDA implementation at Nv is amazing. He did an entirely different implementation than previous. This had some good new algorithmic tricks and was one of the best utilizations of the G80 architecture's shared memory. If anything, it would likely do even better if they had more than the 16KB shared memory size on Nv GPUs.

That's where it will get fun going forward. For DX11 direct compute support (specifically CS_5), all devices going forward will have double the g80 shared memory to 32KB. Also, Stanford finally has the new algorithm publicly available in a new molecular simulation package. So all ATI's new devices will basically be better at this since we added that shared memory for DX11. A good reason for anyone buying a new card to get a DX11 card.

Going forward. I'd expect the new algorithm to get ported over to OpenCL (which can take advantage of the 32KB local memories). I'd guess the porting will wait a little while longer until the OpenCL SDK's get a little more mature and optimized. We've just gotten our OpenCL implementation through official conformance verification.

So with the new HD5800 series and a decent optimizing OpenCL implementation, I expect some amazing PPD - new performance champs that will span our price line of GPUs.

I'm also excited to see how ultimately the OpenCL Folding implementation runs on CPUs. We've put a lot of work into our multi-core CPU implementation of the OpenCL compiler and run-time. As we get the OpenCL port of Folding done, as you mention, it will get Linux, Mac OS X and other OSes, but also other platforms that support OpenCL. Perhaps our CPU implementation will be an improvement as well."

This guy used to work at NV and was responsible for the port of F@H on the G80 cards and now works for ATI.

I dunno man, it's an ATI card... ATI cards are worse than NV cards for folding because of the way they're built.

stanhemi · Sep 26, 2009

I think its can only get better not like nvidia of course but who knows

Buck Nasty said:
Mike Houston and ATI have done all they can with GPU2 in it's current form. There may be some tweaks and slight core utilization's, but the gains will be nominal. The core will have to be re-written to harness all of ATI's shaders and OpenCL will most likely be utilized for that, but you will have to wait for GPU2 v2.0 or GPU3.

Once OpenCL is implemented into the F@H GPU core, you will see ATI take off in terms of PPD. Remember, the GPU2 core currently favors Nvidia architecture and that will change in the future. I might be selling green cards and buying red

. Anyway, Nvidia has had a great run for the last 1-1/2 years in F@H and ATI is hungry. I look forward to the 5xxx series laying down some monster PPD. Think of how our team would grow....

:toast:

Courtesy of Adam Beberg, we have a brand new F@H client for the HD5870. Except, it's not. It's just the same old GPU-2 client we've been using for a couple of years, with added support for the RV870 ID.As Dave Hoff noted earlier, we're not going to see the advantages of the RV870's architecture until the client is rewritten to take advantage of it. Hopefully some kind souls out there will take on the OpenCL GPU F@H client project, and we'll see regular updates, performance increases and plenty of PPD to go around.

Overclocking gave a little improvement, with the 890Mhz core and 1280Mhz memory bumping up the estimated PPD to ~4750.

System load was 261W at stock speeds and 265W when overclocked.

It won't happen until Stanford adopts a new or revised core. Remember, the work and cores come from Stanford's servers. I'm sure there's a beta out there somewhere.
