wow thats a lot of equipment! yeah if you arent using the 780 then yeah thats a lot of cash sitting in a box. lol

hey question for you, where can i see the value of global coins? and where can i trade them?!

Oh, quick question, do you have a kill-a-watt? If you do, I'd love to know the power draw on a system with a titan folding Cheesy

hey sorry for the late reply. i think i have one somewhere here. if i can find it, ill let you know!

it says you are running 12 clients, lol. what are you folding with now?

Yeah, a shrink-wrapped GPU box is so tempting though xD

You can trade GLC over at cryptsy.com, they're not worth much gurrently though Sad

I sense some disturbance in the force, are you removing the shrink wrap from that 780 Grin

I see your ppd is getting crazy fast, you've taken the lead for the dgc bounty!

let me know what you find.

do you have one 780 or two?

I have one installed, one sitting in a box. I purchased it with the expectation of a CUDA primecoin miner, which never really happened. So I left the card in-box, waiting for either CureCoin's public release if it turns out to be really profitable, or to sell it on ebay and get my money back. Personally, I find ATi systems seem to give better PPDPD, but worse density. I have some of my scrypt machines (the rest are waiting on wifi cards, I can't for the life of me find where I put my spare pci-e wifi cards, but they're only $10/pop, so I ordered some more) pointed, and the 7950, which is around $270 now, hits a good 80,000 PPD, while my 780 hits a solid 110,000, at a price of $660. However, the nvidia card uses less power. Figures.

Oh, cost estimate stuff is in the post above, I did a quick edit

Were going fast towards rank 1200, looks like Vorksholk will be getting my bounty, unless someone can beat 538,597 PPD!

im doing my best to catch up

How did the Titan overclock?

well im maxing out at 1110mhz. pulling around 153000 points now.... lol

That's pretty nice Cheesy

I wish they were just a bit cheaper so that the performance would line up with the 780s... I would finally have an excuse to get one xD

i MAY go pick up one more. id really like to be top of the board. lol

The titans are great if you have just a few PCI-e slots and want to make the most of them, however if you're just going for PPD per dollar, then you might want to consider the 780s. (Although the titans are more well-geared towards 24/7 computation).

yeah i thought about the 780, but i really wanted top performance. and since i already have one, i could get another and SLI them. and just turn off SLI when i want to fold.

True

Also, titan will probably hold resale value a tad bit better. I'm gonna go see which is more profitable considering the titan's higher density.

EDIT: For people looking into building a high-end folding machine, a 3x titan machine would cost $3626 a pop (with a platinum PSU, 4-core processor (need), 4GB RAM, etc), and would produce around 420000 PPD (Wow!).

A 3x780 machine would cost a more modest $2640.18, while producing around 330000PPD. So, the 780 machine would achieve around 125 PPDPD (Points Per Day Per Dollar), while the titan machine would clock in at 115.83 PPDPD. Close enough to make titans possibly worthwhile, either for space efficiency, slight energy efficiency bonuses, or the higher resale value of components.

If you decided to go extreme and do a 4-GPU system, however....:
4x780 build (80+Gold PSU, 4GB RAM, 4-core Vishera cpu, etc.): ~$3,600.
4xTitan build: (same as above): $4905.90

With that in mind....
4x780 will achieve around 440,000 PPD, while 4xTitan will achieve around 560,000 (WOW) PPD.

For PPDPD values.....:
4x780: 122PPDPD
4xTitan: 114PPDPD

So, I guess 3-card and 2-card builds are likely the way to go....

Sad life :\

Just go to C:\Users\\Appdata\Roaming\FAHClient\work and delete 00, 01, 02.... then restart your computer, or manually force-quit the FAH processes.
