It has come to my attention that you will experience a PPD decrease if you run the 200 series GPUs with this client. Current findings say between 20% to 35% decrease has been noted.

before running this client on your older series GPUs please take this into consideration.

Just to clarify for ya EG... This only effects non-FERMI based gpus... Anything prior to the GTX400 (fermi) series GPU do in fact suffer a small PPD decrease. Wink

Yep you are correct anything but fermi GPUs take a hit.

So if you have 5 GTX 260s folding and you loose 20% across each GPUs PPD thats just like loosing a GPU.

For max PPD output its recommended the 200 series and previous versions revert back to the GPU2 client. Across a system like mine thats a serious hit in PPD production.

I did'nt realize this, I have been folding with GPU3 client on:
- 3 GTX285
- 4 8800GTS 512 sc
- 1 9800GT ssc

So I am probably losing quite a bit of PPD?

I have to identical systems running 2 8800GTs each.
I will fold 1 with GPU2, then the other with GPU3 and compare on fahmon.

is there a better monitor then fahmon.exe?

Just wanted to confirm that this is true.
I think I will start using the GPU2 client on all my Rigs. as I do not own any fermi cards.

lines 1 and 2 are GPU3 client - on PC1
lines 3 and 4 are GPU2 client - on PC2

running 2 identical systems with 2 8800gts 512s

You are correct that no longer holds true.

When GPU3 client was first released there was only a single WU, now they have several different ones.

My 470's got some WUs earlier that FAHMON has no clue what they are everything shows up as question marks.

I'm not sure if there is a difference, but I did get another 9800GT running.
this is with GPU2 on all machines.

I guess its ok to fold leftover WUs from the other client ?????

Correction to last post...

OOOps thats the wrong image, I'll fix it. I think lost the one I took of all GPU2
above is actually the same config just added a 9800GT

This is all machines running GPU2 Client for Nvidia only - with Viewer
