Will do! This new GPU client is screaming. I haven't had it running 10 hours today and I've got well over 1000 points today! The client is really making my computer choppy - it's just a beta so hopefully future versions will run a little smoother. Anyone with a compatible GPU should definitely install it!

Wow, so I've been running this for a day or two. It looks like I'm pulling 4500+ ppd and looks like I'm pulling 500+ with one core of my CPU, so that's over 5000 ppd. Too bad I can't keep my computer running all day - it gets way too hot in my room at night and this thing is probably guzzling power. I've been debating tossing in a quad core as well (for other reasons too) so with that I could easily do 6000-6500 ppd with one computer. Also I was browsing the FAH forums and nVidia says they are working on a fix for the choppy performance while the GPU client is running. I'd say anyone with a decent 8xxx, 9xxx or one of the new 2xx's should install the latest drivers and get your GPU busy! I'm not sure how the AMD line up does though.

i'm only getting like 60 iterations/sec with the GPU client (8800GTS), and I'm too lazy to figure out how to fix it right now.

Make sure you have a free CPU core. I'm running one CPU instance and one GPU instance and right now CPU usage is at 100%.

Yeah, that was without any other client running.

Running with my 9600GT, been impressed so far. Only problem is I can't see how many iterations a second I'm getting, as soon as i open the display it drops right down to about 1000/sec, but if I'm real fast I can see that its a big number (6, 7 digits) and that the time looks to be less than an hour (that increases to 4 hours with the display open). Also if I open the display it causes mega CPU lag, my mouse freezes for a few seconds and then stutters back to life just enough so I can close the display. Runs fine with it in the background, already up to 3000/25000 after a few mins. Hopefully these problems will be fixed with the final release and/or updated betas.

Looks like the 9600GT is quite a poor folder compared to other cards, only 2700PPD. I take it F@H is very shader dependant, and the 9600GT having only 64 is probably causing this
