on a side note, my 760 is only getting about 30-33k ppd, instead of the 65k+ it was getting. any ideas? it's in the same rig as the 780, and it's doing fine.

Sorry, didn't see this one ... Was watching new from OrangeSVTguy mainly (which is still pending).

Your issue really sounds like the one we have all with the new NV driver addressing the 36hour bug: They are working well for GK110 chips (780, Titan) but bad for GK104 (660, 680, 760).
Finally the only good way is: separate the cards. Homogenous hardware in each system. I have both 780 in one box with driver 335.x and the 660Ti in another rig (driver 319.x). This way I get full PPD on each. Back to 65k PPD for my 660Ti.

Here a current snapshot:

And before in a mixed system (sorry for second post; not working in one shot from iPad)

You can see in the lower slot with the 660Ti that the PPD is far below its potential.

Homogenous system ! Until NV get the driver fixed.
For me it's Linux drivers; but what I understood the same happen for Windows driver.

There's other threads where this was also done. Thread above is just how I did it.

nice job there!

well i've got a 760 and 770 in my 2006 mac pro, with a 2nd psu on the outside, so the case is open. right now i'm getting 57k and 75k ppd with them. that's at stock speeds. i may bump the clock speed up if i get brave. but the 770 is running kinda hot already. not a lot of room in there.

but this has freed up another slot in the rig with the 780!

Hey everyone,

I've just started Folding for good ole' Team 3446 on my Mac Pro. Here's the hardware I'm folding with:

Xeon W3580 @ 3.33GHz (Quad)
Evga GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition @ Classified clocks
12 GB DDR3 @1333 RAM
2x250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSDs on Velocity Solo X2
600 GB WD VelociRaptor 10k RPM
2 TB Seagate SSHD

Right now I'm only folding with the GTX 680 and I'm getting around 41k PPD. Is that normal or should I be getting higher than that? Also, is there any specific way I should configure the client to get the most PPD? I'm folding under Windows 8.1 Pro, btw.

If anyone is curious, I have a username and passkey; and as of right now I'm about 75% finished with my 8th WU.

Username is: QuantumL0op

I'm new to folding, so any helpful tips/advice will be welcome :)
