'Folding at Home'

Pointless on an ATI card as PPD is rubbish (also burns through more electricity than a LHC) hopefullt something that is addressed in 5 series cards
 
nVidia cards are a LOT better at FAH I believe.

Oh, and...

PPD = Points per day? i.e How much folding the GPU can do in a certain time, it's speed.
LHC = Large Hadron Collider?

:)
 
It's not really worth it on ATI cards, since as mentioned it's less efficient (not ATI's fault, but Stanford Uni's fault for being lazy developing the client) and that it uses up far more CPU usage running than it does on an Nvidia client. So you would effectively need to leave an entire core free for it, opposed to the Nvidia client functioning fine even when all cores are 100% loaded.
 
I thought it was how the streamprocessors were designed? ATI is very graphics performance specific where as nvidia's streamprocessors are more general (cos CUDA is that much further along and ATI's version)

And 10/10 for tute! :D
