Fry_33 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Thought I'd bump this topic in the hope that others may join in. I stopped for a while as I couldn't use it with my ATI/AMD HD6850 GPU after I upgraded. I have recently downloaded the Beta V7 and I can now make use of the GPU again. As far as I can tell this Beta is basically just a new way to change all of the setting in a windows based style, instead of via command line tweaks. I got the V7 Beta from here (NOTE: there is only a 32bit version as 64bit doesn't speed up folding). This link was a good help to get it up and running. If you want to use GPU only then I think you can choose this when installing it.. if not it's no drama. You can change to the EXPERT screen, click on configure, then the slots tab. I ended up removing the cpu slot. Then click on the GPU slot and click Edit. To make use of the HD6850 I made the index values -1. Then go to the bottom of this configure folding slot screen to the Extra Slot Options and click ADD below it and put in the following values.. NAME: client-type VALUE: advanced That was basically it and I could fold after that. There are currently only 2 Projects available for the ATI cards so the number won't really change much at the moment. The Nvidia cards really do have a major edge when it comes to folding as far as I can see. Good Luck!

Birds Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You can't bump a sticky! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256306-foldinghome/page/2/#findComment-6223786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry_33 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah, I noticed it was a sticky a bit after I mentioned it I think it may bump it within the stickies but not 100% sure on that. Anyway I figured it was worth getting a newer post in the thread anyway in case it could possibly get more people doing it.

T-Rex Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have begun folding again and changed my team to team SAU. It has changed a lot since I first did it, I only use the GPU as the CPU just doesn't cut it in comparison. It seems you get rewarded for the speed in which you complete folds, if I complete the fold in one session (6 hours for instance) I get about 90,000 points. If I turn the PC off and resume 18 hours later with the fold part way in I might only receive 30,000 points. My points per day is over 300,000 but I haven't had it running 24 hours straight.
