GTX4xx/GPU3 thread, post results and OCs here

[cw823]

Sold the GTS450, upgraded to a GTX460 for about $15 more. Clocking at 775/1550 it's 10.7k PPD, although I think I can clock it higher.

Also added an x6 to the mix. Hopefully bonus from last year (soon?) will let me sell the x6 for a 2600k.

me too. I don't think baking it will fix the GPU. it is worth a try tho. as soon as I have the 460's, I'll replace the 295 with one. maybe I'll put a new rig for the 2 of them, together.

If you need a board I have a P6N Platinum that would give you 4 slots

don't know what I'd do with 4 slots . and then there is the CPU I don't have. I do have 3x460GTX and that
will be a work in progress.

I have a 3 slot board/mem/cpu and no place to put it till next month. and now I have messed with the JuJu.
I have two rigs down to swap the vid cards around and get them folding again. that's going to take
a few days for me to get it sorted out. basically uninstalling and reinstalling drivers until it works.

One issue I ran into with the W7 64bit box involves the editing of the GPU shortcut. I am sure I followed the
directions however, when I edit the "Start in" to the required syntax, I get an error message that states
the path is not valid. this means I can't fold, yet. like I say 'if I can fix it, it wasn't broken. or, if I can't fix it, it can't be fixed.

are you editing the shortcut that it creates automatically or are you creating a new shortcut?

[dabaerman]

editing the shortcut I made from the X86 after install. actually after starting the client.
attempts made to get 2 cards/clients working have met with resistance. tomorrow I will succeed, after reading the guide again.

thanks TR. along with focus and some rest, I fixed it. of course I broke it first. now they are folding along @ 800/1600.

[dabaerman]

had to back off the oc on the 460's to 735/1470. applying the oc in smaller steps over a few days.
they are quiet and actually oc very easy in a one card rig. two on one board may be harder.

My MSI 460 does 851/1703 @ 1025mv, fwiw. Equates to whatever my t45 PPD is. ;D
