Got my GTX460s

However I am starting to think that they are not worth bothering with!

My PPD 0n my i7 920 @ 3.8GHz has dropped by as much as I've gained replacing my 2 GTX260s! I am running -bigadv :eek:

Should I be configuring a different way?

seems to be the best compromise - do you lock the gpu to one of the cpu cores?

Don't run bigadv with multiple gpu's better off just running normal A3's

I had found that I was about 10000 ppd better off running bigadv, on all 8 cores along side gpu2 on 2 gtx260s, than running normal A3 cores.

Its early days but with bigadv on and gpu3 with 2 gtx460s I'm getting about 24000 ppd on my i7 with 7 cores running this is still better than the 15000-18000 I get on normal A3 cores. The CPU folding isn't as good as before but the 2xgtx460s are pushing it in the right direction

What sort of ppd were you getting and did you try bigadv without the 480s folding?

I had noticed the system process bouncing up and down a bit but its not built up to that size. I have now had it on for about 24 hrs and it has settled down around the 23000 mark - just over 40 mins a frame on a P2685

I will have to see how it behaves with other WUs

Gulftown would be nice but they're just too expensive for me

Have you not got an old hard drive kicking about that you can do an install on rather than blow your whole drive away?
