ppppppfffffffffff

The thing is, it's the shader clock that matters for CUDA processing, and the 9800gtx+'s and GTS 250's have the fastest shaders of all the current nVidia cards.

I checked a completed WU yesterday, which was paired with a 285 (both using optimized CUDA apps), and mine was 2 minutes faster.

I just hope the GTS 250 plays nice with the GTX 260's then

that way my RAC should improve.

Oh My Gawd, I've been rumbled!

I've added a new rig.

Hard to hide a 40k+ rac

I am catching you up though, should be passing 40k tonight if I manage to get this box talking to Seti, they seem to have fallen out!

Cheers, Simon.

Well I can't compete with 4x GTX 295's.

You must be on good terms with your local power station to run that lot.

Just getting the fourth one warmed up ready for next week

It's sitting in an i7 machine at work ostensibly as a test run before it replaces one of mine which I suspect is faulty.

Cheers, Simon.

Yeah, should be good.

Hopefully everybody will have 100% rock solid stable machines. Then all we'll have to worry about is a constant supply of WU's. :rolleyes:

Not if I use it all first

As Stuart I hope they all hang together for the duration.

Cheers, Simon.

PS. Was it Gordon Brown who assured us thet there would be no power cuts? if so i'll get the generators ready.

Erm.......

Just checked out my latest stats on Team OcUK......

It's quite a big increase in work output

thanks to the two GTX 260's

Should come in handy for the Gauntlet

Hopefully there is room for improvement when the GTS 250 goes in later today.

I wonder if I can make it into the top 10 RAC in UK by the end of the Gauntlet? (all on the one rig & laptop)

dang it, you telling me I need to watch my rear view mirror?

loudbob · 17 Sep 2009 at 13:22

Possibly, the 250 just arrived (thanks OcUK).

Looks like your safe.......

The 260's and 250 won't play together in SETI.

Guess I should have discussed it in here before I purchased.

If I had known before hand I would have plumped up the extra for another 260

shadowscotland · 17 Sep 2009 at 15:58

return it (distance selling act and all that) and get yourself a 260.
As long as you've not destroyed the packageing etc
or post a wanted thread for a swap
or lend it to me for the gauntlet

and sell it after

loudbob · 17 Sep 2009 at 16:06

I just ordered a 260

Also, requested the return of the 250 through order queries thread. (Packaging in Pristine Condition)

But thanks for the advice.

S@NL XP-Freak · 18 Sep 2009 at 07:21

Less then 16 hours left to join the Gauntlet.

Seti@nl · 18 Sep 2009 at 23:22

Joining time is over.
It's a nice bunch you've gathered here

We will now start to evaluate all entries and look if there are no teams that are to strong or weak.
Biffa, would you please check if I've added everyone that has posted his participation in this thread? You can find your team here: http://www.seti.nl/boinc_user.php?action=showteamusers&subteamid=21&gauntlet=2

Marine Iguana · 19 Sep 2009 at 16:24

Just wondering where did OcUK finish last time around.

Happy · 19 Sep 2009 at 16:30

We won I think

O/T - You tried the SLI thing yet?

Marine Iguana · 19 Sep 2009 at 16:44

No not tried it yet might do once the guantlet is over, how about yourself

Marine Iguana · 19 Sep 2009 at 16:44
