I'm just doing my bit for DC Vault atm and then a little Folding - but I'll be back on SETI soon - I have yet to get to No1 :D

Welcome back Tony.

Finally got another 470 for my second rig and my RAC is back up to 100k. I feel proud of myself even if Mr Loudbob's morning flatulence crunches more than both my rigs put together :D

Good to be back .... well it was then it was not now its ok again, lots of hardware under the bridge last few days i may be skint but i could use my rma gubbins to put a deposit on a house :D

Wonder if the new lunatics optimised app is any closer to release what say you Mr Loudbob sah? :)

Put me down as a member of the single PC fraternity please Mr Toxic sah. I've fired up the ol' GTS250 again for the cause after starving it for a while, so it's now hungrily chomping on its favourite food :)

:D

Still on a single pc. :)
 
ooooh i badly want to dip me toes into the 6 series look forward to this :)


Ahemm!

New king of the hill, many conratulations Mr Reaver sah adjectives fail me (am also luminous green with envy)

 
Congrats ReaVer......

You deserve it :D

I just had an email confirming that a replacement GTX570 Classified is on it's way (should be here by end of week) - along with the replacement GTX460 (so I should be able to sell the two 460's too) - might even look at selling the 480's so that I can replace them with something a little more kind to my lectric bill ;).

I think you'll be safe at the top - at least until the opt apps arrive (no new news on that I'm afraid :()
 
That's a hoooooge tiffy derv, congrats! :cool:

Now then. My humble GTS250 apparently didn't appreciate being brought out of retirement and has gone on strike... permanently. I therefore need a replacement - one that's not too power-hungry and can run SETI. Am thinking of a GT560Ti, but any better suggestions would be welcomed :)
 
560ti (448 core) would be a good choice although a 6 series might be better on the ol' leccy bill. A couple of 690s should do it :D
 
I think two 690s might be a bit optimistic given my present (im)pecuniary situation - however awesome that would be :D

Thanks for the advice derv - the 6xx series really surprised me with their wattage figures so will go for one of those. Would a 640 or 650 (650Ti at a push, but that's right at the upper end of my budget) be of much use do you know?
 
Until the new optimised apps come out (might be a while...) the 5 series cards seem to be performing better than the 6 series for SETI. Is your rig purely for SETI or will you be gaming on it?
