What is your Nidia driver? Try the 327.23.

Anything newer than NV Driver version 327.23 runs at half speed, except for the GK110s, and newer.

I've downloaded and installed the driver Ver. 327.23, do you know when I will get the PPD or the speed of the GPU increased, will it be when Windows Boots to the Desktop or when Folding is in progress. I've been playing around with clock speeds with MSI Afterburner and curious if and when I will see or know about a difference. How will I know that their is a difference in the power being processed on the GPU.

Aka folding runs at half speed. Only folding will show the difference, in PPD.

I've been playing around with MSI Afterburner and managed to save 2 Minutes and thirty seconds. Potentially 5 hours with the overclock with regards to the TPF and PPD so I'll have a look at the QRB Bonus comparison when I get credited with the Score after its been submitted.

With the driver downgrade, and also in the next few weeks I'll hopefully be able to set a Minimum of Ten WU's submitted without failure.

Am I correct in thinking QRB (Quick Return Bonus) and also the acutall PPD (Points Per Day) along with 10 Successive WU's submitted, would be about the best I could achieve for Maximum return.

Thanks a lot.

I guess you are pretty much there, as long as the system is stable with that overclock -- if you see WUs failing, reduce the overclock!

You may want to post the top sections of your log, showing all the system stuff. Then we can possibly make suggestions for tweaking, although the default install is usually pretty much on the money.

I'm intrigued as to which version of the GT630 you actually got -- see Artoar_11's second post above. There is a big difference in the capabilities across the four models. It will be shown on the "Folding Slots" section of Advanced Control. There's not anything you can do to change it if it is one of the poorer models, though.
