Thought I'd bump this topic in the hope that others may join in. I stopped for a while as I couldn't use it with my ATI/AMD HD6850 GPU after I upgraded. I have recently downloaded the Beta V7 and I can now make use of the GPU again. As far as I can tell this Beta is basically just a new way to change all of the setting in a windows based style, instead of via command line tweaks.

I got the V7 Beta from here (NOTE: there is only a 32bit version as 64bit doesn't speed up folding).

This link was a good help to get it up and running.

If you want to use GPU only then I think you can choose this when installing it.. if not it's no drama. You can change to the EXPERT screen, click on configure, then the slots tab. I ended up removing the cpu slot. Then click on the GPU slot and click Edit. To make use of the HD6850 I made the index values -1. Then go to the bottom of this configure folding slot screen to the Extra Slot Options and click ADD below it and put in the following values..

NAME: client-type

VALUE: advanced

That was basically it and I could fold after that.

There are currently only 2 Projects available for the ATI cards so the number won't really change much at the moment. The Nvidia cards really do have a major edge when it comes to folding as far as I can see.

Good Luck!

Yeah, I noticed it was a sticky a bit after I mentioned it :) I think it may bump it within the stickies but not 100% sure on that.

Anyway I figured it was worth getting a newer post in the thread anyway in case it could possibly get more people doing it.

I have begun folding again and changed my team to team SAU. It has changed a lot since I first did it, I only use the GPU as the CPU just doesn't cut it in comparison. It seems you get rewarded for the speed in which you complete folds, if I complete the fold in one session (6 hours for instance) I get about 90,000 points. If I turn the PC off and resume 18 hours later with the fold part way in I might only receive 30,000 points. My points per day is over 300,000 but I haven't had it running 24 hours straight.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
