First Time Folder :) Need Advice

[GORGEOUS_GEORGE]

Hi all,
This is my first post so apologies if this has been posted several times, well my question are as follows.

- Ive recently upgraded to Fermi GTX 480 SLI Ive downloaded the GPU 3 client is this correct?

-The performance is showing 1200ns/day sometimes more sometimes less is this correct?

-Is there a client which supports SLI or is folding only limited to one GPU

any information is greatly appreciated

Welcome to the F@H Forum GORGEOUS_GEORGE,

1) Yes, that is correct.

2) Please avoid the viewer since it is buggy/resource hog. Please use FahMon or HFM.NET to monitor your Client.

3) Unfortunately, SLI will never be supported since it is too slow for F@h. If you have dual GPUs, then you have to setup 2 instances of the Client. Please refer to my GPU Guide (link in signature), section "9 - Installation Of Multiple Instances"

Additional information for GPU3 BETA Client can be found here -> viewtopic.php?p=160906#p160906

PantherX,
Ive downloaded the FahMon app, but could run me through on how to work it lol its a bit confusing

I am assuming that you have the Systray Client version and that it has been installed as default location. If not then do a Windows search for FAHlog.txt OR FAHlog and note that location. IIRC, it would be C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Folding@Home GPU

Now here are the steps for FahMon:
Step 1: Open the FahMon application
Step 2 Click on the "Clients" Button and a sub menu will appear underneath it
Step 3: Click "Add a new client"
Step 4: A window will appear:
Step A -> In the "Name" field, enter any name that you want to give to your GPU Client
Step B -> In the "Location" field, enter the location of the FAHlog OR FAHlog.txt. You can click on the "..." Button to navigate to that folder.
Step 5: Click "OK"

After that, you should see a Client added on the FahMon.

Ok i got it working thanks for all your help just one last question, my PPD is 14664.00* is this correct?

[PantherX]

Actually, it depends on the Project that you are folding and the Shader frequencies. However, I think that 14K is normal for GTX 480. Do remember that PPD may vary from WU to WU and on system usage and other factors.
