How to install dual GPU's for folding

Re: Nvidia GTX 660Ti vs. GTX 670?

This will be my last post on this thread. I have now been using the Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti OC for just over a month, and continue to be very satisfied with its performance. After the first week of use, when the PPD totals fluctuated rather dramatically (I suspect due to the projects assigned to my comp...

Re: Nvidia GTX 660Ti vs. GTX 670?

I said I would post a follow-up comment or two on the new Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti OC card after a few days experience with it. In a nutshell, this new GPU is a very significant improvement over my previous Radeon HD 6950. I am currently running two clients: GPU and SMP (all 8 cores of the CPU). The curr...

Re: Nvidia GTX 660Ti vs. GTX 670?

Thanks to all who posted their very helpful comments. After reading just about every available tech review of the Gigabyte GTX 660Ti OC, I found a very good price for the card and have ordered it. The card should arrive early next week, and after I've used it for a week or two, I will post any perti...

Nvidia GTX 660Ti vs. GTX 670?

I want to replace my Radeon HD 6950 GPU with either the Nvidia GTX 660Ti or the GTX 670. I am not a gamer, and the graphics card will be used almost solely for folding (running 24/7) and photo/video editing. Does anyone know from experience whether there is a significant performance difference in PP...

Re: Question regarding use of CPU AND GPU

Thanks for the info. I'll experiment a bit to see what combo yields the best results. I should have described my system a bit more fully. It's a CyberPower build, which has been upgraded since it was first assembled. Current configuration includes: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3; Intel i7-870 CPU with CoolerM...

Re: Question regarding use of CPU AND GPU

I have a follow-up question on this subject. I have just upgraded my GPU (to an XFX-HD-6950), and I want to find the best balance between my CPU client and the GPU client (I'm running V7 of the beta). Would I get the best overall results (i.e., greatest number of WU's each day) if I set the CPU/SMP ...
