New to Folding, what should I expect.

Hey everyone. :)

Started folding a few days ago, and everything seems to be running smoothly. I'm using FAH GPU Tracker V2, by the way.

I'm getting about 3k PPD on the GPU at the moment it seems, with WUs taking about 4 hours to complete on average. However, the SMP client has been running very slowly in comparison. Is this because the GPU client has priority over the SMP? I've been folding since 10am, but it has only completed about 8%. Is this normal?

Thanks for any help. Specs are in my sig.
 
Okay, added the environment variables. Any chance of explaining how these work? Will I notice a significant difference?

Frame times seem to be very close to your estimation actually Biffa. Didn't use a calculator, but 30-40 minutes seems about right, considering your performance with a Q6600.

Is a GTX460 really 3/4 times faster at Folding than a HD 6850? Is this to do with optimized code or something?

Will report back after a reboot. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. :)
 
Yeah, forgot to mention my 6850 is at 900/1100.

Currently the SMP client is running project 6025, according to FAH GPU Tracker. When I first tried folding, I was using the version that ran in a command prompt, and that seemed to be getting frame times of circa 10 minutes, so that was probably running a shorter WU.

You can see the frame times in GPU tracker, just click on the client on the left of the main window it will give you the client info including frame times.:)

You wonderful, wonderful man. I presume the one labelled TPF is the one I'm looking at. If so, frame time appears to be 27:47. On a P6025, is this longer than it should be?

EDIT: FYI, just for reference, frame time on the GPU is at 2:30.
