Anyone folding with a GTS 450?

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

Was looking at this card

wondering how well it will do....

ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU TOP/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTS 450...

I found this, and so I'm thinking 10k PDP with the 9800GTX running beside it?

Can't do SLi on this board seeing it's CF.....

keep in mind, I think that was at FTW clocks, the 450 can do quite a bit more OCing.

The 9800GTX is work like 5-6K IIRC. Also you don't need SLI to make them fold together on the same board

This is what I'm getting now with a stock 9800GTX

Go the extra $30
EVGA 768-P3-1360-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB ...

Comes with a free copy of SC2!!

EDIT:

Well not twice as much but close to about 1.5k more

Yea, I just seen the new drivers are allowing SLi(Don't know if that's going to help or not....)

sneekypeet · Sep 15, 2010

AFAIk you cant SLI a 9800GTX and a GTX 450

Also that 3500 PPD seems a bit weak. Over clock the core and shaders a bunch.

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

Yea, I think windows 7 is kicking it's ass......

Don't know if BONIC is affecting it or not.....

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

I know you can't SLi them, but if I was to pick up another 450 lol

sneekypeet · Sep 15, 2010

If you are crunching the CPU it can hurt PPD from what I hear from others. I just fold on my rigs so I cant say first hand.

I just got schooled in another thread the hack will work on the 790FX with 4 series using the 258 driver set.

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

Yea, I want to do both, and I do have the snail AMD quad installed.

I just thought this 450 was clocked well out of the box, and would really help it fold better.

Maybe I should install XP again.......

sneekypeet · Sep 15, 2010

7 works just fine for me, got 3 470s doing about 40K PPD on W7 machines

free trial not game

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

I need to redo it any how....

Hmmm so I should be kicking out double from what I'm kicking out now....damn it.....

What do you think of this 450?

Things will change when I get money flowing in.....cause I want to start rolling with the 295 or 480s....

sneekypeet · Sep 15, 2010

I think its a budget folding masterpiece, and in SLI you can hang with a 470. One 470 is more than plenty for todays titles.

Im not saying one is more important than the other, but if you were to get FAHmon or HFM.net to monitor the folding, shut down WCG, and see if it is hurting the PPD. Then make a call of what you want to do.

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

I don't care about games....the only thing ever played is Lego games anymore....I play on the PS3

TeXBill · Sep 15, 2010

What do you think of this 450?

That is insane 925MHZ out of the box... :toast:

Then it says you can Overclock it by up to 50%... WOW :toast:

The most I've gotten my 460 to is 850MHZ

got mine to 975/1026

sneekypeet · Sep 15, 2010

well then as reference, if the 450 can do 9000PPD, two should be close to 18K PPD, you are still trumping my best 470 by 4K PPD, and for a bit less loot.

WOW what brand do you have????
My 850 is with out any more volts added to it :toast:

Yep my 470 does about average 15,000 PPD

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

Someone needs to pick up the DDR3 I haz up so I can order it lol

DaMulta · Sep 15, 2010

Opps....I was running F@H SMP twice......

I been killing the windows CPU one, but forgot all about the one installed in the background.

I guess the CPU does not like running F@H TWICE on the CPU ALONG with BONIC running AND F@H GPU........

un-installed lol

going to OC a little too I guess......

Then start folding with it!

Win 7 is fine for folding. You can get better PPD on your primary card by lowering the resolution on larger monitors

theonedub · Sep 15, 2010

DaMulta, I really think your PPD would improve if you decided on running either F@H or WCG on the CPU and then stuck to WCG for the CPU. Unless you changed that up from the last time you had mentioned it.

BUCK- Do you by chance know how much a the higher res actually hurts PPD? I thought I had heard that before but couldn't find out the damage.
