Despite Core17 being in general release, there is still little available data around PPD for the various high-end cards especially the new 7xx series NVidia and 79xx AMD cores.

So, could people post what cards they have running Core17 and what PPD they are getting?

560Ti-448 @840MHz is getting around 33K
 
nope , it is core 17. the new work units are core17 I think that's why you use the advanced tag in the client options.

that's were the high ppd on gpus comes from

anybody with a 600 series gpu or more should use the

name: client-type
value: advanced

I tried it with 500 series gpu and the gpu got hotter but my ppd wasn't that much better, but this was only a gtx560 none Ti. maybe a 570 or 580 would also be nice ppd numbers

Ahh, I get between 30K and 48K on my GTX570 running core 17, and between 70K and 80K on my GTX670 (1200MHz) running core 17. My 660 used to net me around 50K on core 17 (if I recall correctly). :)
 
Core 17 is identified as being Core ZETA in the client and HFM.NET now.

Maybe if we did it in the format from HFM that would be best? Then we get the Project ID and other relevant info.

Heres mine:

ah ye

ok

the gpu new core units are higer ppd to start with , but with the cpu, once you';ve completed 10 work units you get bouns points depending on how fast you complete them, if I have a work unit on my cpu saying 10 hours and leave my pc on to complete ill get xxxx points but if I allow my pc to complete this over say 2 days ill only get xx points.

basicly the cpu points are flexable haha

not sure if this makes sense to you lol
 
But the same is true of the Core17 gpu units; that's the whole point!

e.g. I'm running a 7810 work unit. It's base credit is 3075 points but because of the Quick Return Bonus, I will get 8768 points. A faster card would get more points than mine.

This is exactly the same process as with the QRB on cpu units. That's why I am so interested in what points people are getting.
 
8900 WU on HD 7950 (900MHz) gives around 75,000 PPD as long as there's something running on the CPU. If the CPU is otherwise idle, the GPU barely gives 68,000 PPD. Weird!
 
i was getting 21-30k ppd with a stock 660 but it died and a new one will be at least another week or too :(. i've nearly got 1mil in total with just a fx6200 and a gt610 :D

yup correct, maybe I should have just been clear to start with haha

its the CPU that has to complete 10 work units before it gets the bonus points, as ive seen some people say that the cpu points are really low, but they wasn't aware its because they havnt completed 10 work units.:D

although I did say gpu's don't get bonus points, when infact they do, I was just referring to how the cpu points work

im sure in a recent post some body has/had a 660 and it was getting 40/45k ppd? this was with the added tags of coruse



from another thread , incase you don't know what Im talking about lol

if you open the folding program and click configure a new box will open, in there you will see a tab saying slots , if you click this you will see it says

folding slots

cpu
gpu

if you double click the gpu one it will then open another box , at the bottom of the box you will see it says extra slot options and there is 2 boxes that say " add " and " remove " . click on the add box and another little box opens , type this in so it looks like this

name: client-type
value: advanced

then just click ok on all the boxes till they all close, this will have your gpu produce far better points
