For a single CPU, I am very pleased with my new Core i7 920 that has been overclocked to 3.4GHz. I am seeing 9200 PpD according to FAHmon. I am running the 6.23 Beta 1 client on Ubuntu 8.04 Server. I am sure I can overclock this harder and see closer to 10K PpD but I am very content with it now the way it is. Next month, I plan on adding some GPUs to this box.

Count me in (unless someone shows a better one) : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=4209

by **Tigerbiten** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 3:01 am

I've 5 computers running and I'm doing +100k PpD.
So that's an average of just over 20k PpD per computer.
Thats average is only half what my top folder does.
Quad 9800GX2's = ~40-42k PpD. The max I've seen it at was ~48k PpD.

I'm waiting to see what a quad GTX 295 will do.

Luck .........

Q6600 with Linux SMP ~ 2000PPD + 2x 9800GX2 = 4x~5000PPD = ~22000PPD

May fastest cpu is the i7 920 at 3.8 Ghz running Linux with dual SMPs...

Project : 2671
Core : SMP Gromacs CVS
Frames : 100

Cur. Time / Frame : 5mn 21s - 5167.85 ppd

Project : 2674

Cur. Time / Frame : 5mn 22s - 5151.80 ppd

So 10,319 ppd

Have you tried running with the -smp 8 flag instead of two separate clients? On my 3.4GHz 920, I'm just ~1100-~1200 PpD behind you but I am showing faster frames @ 3m/F. I should try overclocking this just a little bit harder.

Falling way short of the high ppd people, but maybe a nice datapoint for 'mediocre' folding rigs. ( 9498 ppd )

q6600 with 2 linux smp's. two 9600gso's ( where gso2 lost it oc last week, for some reason RT doesn't allow me to oc it anymore unless I reboot, oc before starting client, and then let it run. Though on reboot the oc is gone again ( probably updated my drivers once again with a windows update without me noticing it :oops:

).

Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for your effort! Some thoughts though; we can not ignore the fact that different WU's potentially give different PPD! And, in you list I above I suspect Tiberbiten's PPD for GX2 is 4 cards = 8 gpus while JPinTO must be 2 cards = 4 gpus or he has it on 50% usage..

I am still in progress of building 4xGX2 in one machine.

Moved from Picassa to imageschack works now

Not to long ago this kind of setup wasn't even that mediocre, times do change fast hehe :lol:

Its only a couple of years ago that you had to have access to around 500 computers to get ~100k PpD.
Now you can do it with only a couple of computers.

Hmm, Two 4*gtx295 machines would make 120K PPD :ewink:

(Hmm, should I spend $5000 for hardware and what not in electricity cost....hmmm....)

4x9800GX2 and 1x GTX280

4xOpteron 8347HE running 2 SMP (-smp 8) clients.

5 day moving average: 12199 PPD
