Can anyone post PPD for GT470 / GT480?

[jevans64]

I was actually thinking about what folding on a GTX 480 would do as far as heat goes. As hot as the GTX 480 gets under normal gaming, I bet A LOT of folks will be burning these up running F@H 24/7. I think the only solution is to have a water block for the 480 and have it on a different loop than the CPU. Putting a 90C chip on the same loop as the CPU will probably fry it.

Not if it is after it...

GTX 480 doesn't get that hot while gaming jevans...

~90C on stock fan settings in furmark, but overclocked with fan speed adjustments I max at 78C on furmark. Gaming is significantly lower.

I know I sold off most of my folding rigs but I think I am going to wait for a refresh of Fermi. I still think I can put together a couple of 980x rigs and pull in some decent points with just a couple of GTX 275 in each machine.

It does not matter where a component is in the loop, it is a closed system and every source of energy will collectively bring the temperature up to an average.

you can run both cpu and gpu folding with hardware. the -bigadv w/u are worth 25 k each, plus the ppd you'll get on the 275's will be great, too.

Yes, and no... The higher the heat produced, the higher the heat dump into the loop. You can counter that somewhat with higher flow. It wouldn't be smart to put the heat sensitive CPU after the GPU(s).

You wouldn't have any trouble running this in the same loop as the CPU. I have my 2 GTX295's and GTX280 in quad-sli and physix all running on the same loop and I fold on all 5 GPU's and my quad-core CPU in this system 24/7 unless I shut them down to game...

I got Palit GTX470 v2 last week. weekend for games, weekdays for Folding; so has been folding 24/7 for the last 3 and a bit days. I know not long enough to get solid data, but FYI, it's averaged 11,500PPD at temp 88C

You should adjust your fan. My temps are 69C at ~ 77% fan speed.

Man. That seems way low to me. My GTS 250 gets 5500 PPD. 2 of those could equal a GT470? Something seems fishy there.

[Maniac]

They haven't fully tweaked the PPD yet... client is still in beta. It may be raised.

[levathar]

I don't think it is fishy data.
From times to times hardware evolve and also the metric of the score for the WU's.
I remember when uniprocessor units were 600 PPD on my old and gone semptron 2400. Now I can't imagine the tiny PPD it would do by today standards..
