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!

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.

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.

    • That’s a beautiful setup Tao, Have u done any development with the new Turbosmart 40mm electronic straight gate, especially in this G30 configuration?
    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)
