Ive just gone bigadv on the opteron rig (Hydra

) got the first wu its a P2684 what sort of frame times do these run at compared to other units?

Have read they are a pain?! :confused:

4 frames in TPF 23.46 53k ppd

For reference:

2684 is the slower of the 2600 WUs drops Gemini's frame times from around 12:30 to 18:00 with a resultant PPD drop from 140K to 80K

That makes me happier ,frame times 23.46 for first 4 frames 53k ppd.

Cant wait to get this thing fully populated

Hydra now fully populated and frame times have dropped to 11.54 on a P2684

Double the cores all but halve the frame time its remarkable how well this scales :eek:

Thats 129k ppd going to stompy

You should start off folding for Stomp_Monster [there's a full thread]. Then you can fold for me after we're done!

He's been out of the game too long :eek:

SiriusB · 22 Dec 2010 at 17:12

Stelly, until the 2nd January everyone is folding under a single username, Stomp_Monster.

Username: Stomp_Monster
Passkey: 7cb22d237a76ab8caaf65f8dcbaa20f1
Team: 10

After the 2nd you can go back to folding for me.

Whoever said a H8QGi-f would fit in a stacker 810 without mods was a madman :mad:

After an afternoon of dremel work cutting the bottom off the motherboard tray and adding half a dozen holes it just fits,that is JUST.

I even had to buy the dremel!!!!!

dekez · 23 Dec 2010 at 01:21

Well at least you have a dremmel now

Glad it eventually fitted in!

It should have warranty, its a XFX card tho so don't no what they'd send back as a replacement ? I'll sort it out after xmas :cool:

Might order a 450 as there cheap which would be quietest > MSi Cyclone or ASUS ??

I'd double check, last thing you want is the warranty expiring over Chirstmas.

Have a verry Merry Christmas everyone...

dekez · 24 Dec 2010 at 16:50

Just realised it's a Friday, sorry I completely forgot about the news today!

I shall try to remember for next week!

Merry Christmas and a Stomping New Year!

shadowscotland · 24 Dec 2010 at 17:21

Don't worry about the news - it's all about stompy anyway

Merry Christmas everyone

Richy1204 · 24 Dec 2010 at 20:30

Merry Chirstmas

Frozennova · 24 Dec 2010 at 20:41

Dont worry about the news, wont be much to tell this week, I'm back under my own username as I'm getting impatient and want my first million already.

Merry christmas all.

Dammit, just when I get rid of one P2684 I get another one on another machine! Talk about halving your output!
