哈哈~ 還有人換到295~ (包含我自己)

目前跑GPU的有兩類隊友: 更換或添購純做folding, 或是自用玩game為主,順帶folding.

GTX470對中高階玩家不會是最熱的卡, 就Folding效能來說, GF100 它的確功耗不低,

但以目前高階而言, 的確沒有更好的選擇, GT200缺貨到僅GTS240/210, 也是始料未及.

而GF10x的中階有沒有當年8800GT般的强卡, 也還沒有確切的內幕.

如果GPU3可以讓AMD大翻身, 那順應情勢改辦功耗產分比 較優的RV870都行.

但是Pade Group blog 已經否認在GPU3 初版會支援AMD, 基於他們在OpenCL的問題

GPU3: no support for ATI in the 1st version

所以推演下去就是停辦

然而失去承諾不是我的選項. 百萬日產是今年既定目標, 越強勁的組織越容易受到實體社會

公司/組織的注意與重視, 未來可合作的機會更多, 影響的範圍更大. 這裡面我有階段性

的想法與嘗試, 希望借力使力讓隊務發展保持獨立並正向循環, 雖然挑戰很多,但我深信

真正有資源的組織還是在實體社會裡, 他們的資源與力量遠大於我一個人,

如何創造互贏結盟的機會, 是我目前思索的重點.

總之, 目前還很有時間討論這個活動議題. 活動會避開四月中GF100首發時間,讓店家

先去賺到市場中第一波搶購戶的錢, 廠商已被交代過第一波不得降價亂賣, 合作出貨要

幫各位爭取價格空間的話, 時間點會要在下旬以後.

至於爆顯卡的問題, 三年保固內會至少跨過一代製程, 無痛升級是很可能發生的. :laugh:

就先看功耗問題有沒有降壓程式之類的撇步先來應變.

同步於滄者與PCDVD發問:

請各位隊友幫忙提供意見, 如果改辦部分贊助是i7以專攻bigadv獎勵包的可行性:flash:

不管對於 功耗 產分 穩定性 風險性 實用性 贊助額 效益性等各方面的看法. :)

i7在滄者辦就好了

這邊的CPU通通都拿去跑WCG

在Windows SMP2 client支援bigadv運算之前，已有i7-860與4GB RAM的隊友
可考慮使用以下URL中的native Linux folding image運算bigadv:

GPU3 in public beta within the week

GPU3 in public beta within the week

During a recent email exchange, Vijay Pande, Director of the Folding@home project, mentioned that the project would be releasing an experimental GPU3 OpenCL 1.0 based beta core (FahCore_16) within the week.

So GPU3 is finally available? Sadly not; the true goal of this core is to compile statistics on the compatibility and performance of nVidia and ATI GPU cards on a wide scale. As previously announced, the GPU3 core will be somewhere in the region of 10% slower than the current GPU2 cores, but will be much more stable and will feature wider hardware compatibility. At the moment, the university is not focussing on the quality of the results; it is merely testing how the core performs on our beloved graphics cards. The final results will be presented by Greg Bowman at SC10 this October.

From a practical point of view, there is not much for us folders to do. Install the 195.xx or later nVidia drivers, or 10.2 or later of ATI's, and launch your regular GPU2 client with the -advmethods flag.

The projects have already been named - projects 10401 to 10410. They are being hosted from a new collaborator's server at IP 67.63.58.75, and have a preferred deadline of 1 day, and a final deadline of 2 days. Valued at 189 points each, these are very short units and we have seen them completing in half an hour on a 9800GTX. For ATI speeds, we are counting on your feedback.

不知道是真的還是愚人節禮物...

上週挪了一筆預算把現有P55平台的CPU由i5-750更換為i7-860並將i5-750改用於
HTPC。i7-860+4GB RAM+Linux的組合已於昨天下午成功達交第一個extra-large WU。

搭配idle功耗10W以下的顯示卡，上述組合可以不到200W的功耗達成20000 ppd，
節能與通用運算間可取得一個不錯的平衡。

有超頻嗎

http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Folding_PC

i7 860 STOCK 2.8Ghz w/Turbo SMP2 A3 Core 8000PPD
i7 860 OC 3.65Ghz SMP2 A3 Core 15500PPD

比跑SMP2 A3 Core多很多分數

跑extra-large WU不錯選擇

目前只有小幅超頻至3.3Ghz。若超頻至3.65Ghz可達22000 ppd。

感謝

希望i趕快把i7 8xx 32nm
