Fold Faster on GPUs With FahCore_17
A great milestone has been achieved in the area of folding on GPUs with the release of FahCore_17. Currently, it is in public beta and will eventually be rolled out to all supported GPUs once the public Beta testing is done. Here are some highlights:
1) Faster and more stable than before
2) Native Linux Support on Nvidia (AMD support will be once the drivers are imrpoved)
3) Better code base
Moreover, Yutong Zhao (Proteneer) a GPU programmer at the Folding@Home will be doing a Reddit IAMA where he will answer your questions so check it out -> Link
Remember that our team number is 69411 so if you aren't already on our F@H Team, you may want to show some True Guru3D Spirit and join now to help move our team from the Top 50 in the world to the Top 40 in the world :)

Installing the 320.00 beta drivers may also boost speeds. Nvidia backported the funnel shift instruction for Fermi which provides a speed boost assuming funnel shifts are used.

client-type: beta
That's all you need.
Have fun folding!

It is currently in Beta so if you're not on the Beta Team, you may want to wait until it gets released to the public.
Having said that, you can still configure the client to a beta one and get those WUs as long as there isn't any shortage of them.

It's your choice to update to V7.3.6 or not. Currently, I am using V7.2.6 since there is a bug in V7.3.6 where the new WU download at 99% instead of 100 (even when it is configured for 100%). For most people, it isn't a big deal. However, since I have 3 other systems that fold on the CPU with TFP of over 30 minutes, I don't want to pre-download the WU. Moreover, since it is recommended to have all the Client versions to be same for remote monitoring, I have decided to stick with V7.2.9 until a newer version is released.

You will be getting the WUs even if you are not on the Beta Team. If you are interested, here's the link to it -> http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8

I don't think running it on a fanless AMD Radeon HD 6450 24/7 is a bright idea, right?

If is is passively cooled and plenty of airflow, I would try it but would monitor the temperature to be within the acceptable range.

im not too sure about plenty of airflow, the PSU fan has to kick into high gear just to cool itself, I think that room is just not cooled properly lol. I'll likely wait until I can invest a better GPU for myself and just take my bro's old Radeon HD 4850 (which used to be mine) for folding lol.

If the room temps are below 20C at all times, then I might try it but I don't think that it would last very long under those extreme conditions.
Unfortunately, HD 5000 or higher is needed for FahCore_17.

core_17@TITAN
Im getting 140k PPD running core_17 on my TITAN@1006MHz.
Getting about 10-15% usage of CPU.
Thats 411.76 PPD/1W!!!!!
Im a happy folder...!

7970 @ 1125MHz. TPF ~1m20s. Used to be ~2m25s.
PPD before: 46k-47k...after: 110k PPD
Incredible.
Thanks for the topic PantherX.
