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.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
