Right now I am folding at around 30 000 PPD, someone on the forum told me that it was a bit slow and said I should get around 60 000 PPD.
What can I do to improve my PPD? Any settings I should tweak (Right now I am just running the default settings.).
I also heard someone say that the new Nvidia GPU drivers are really bad for folding, which of the older drivers are the best? And where can I find them?
Sincerely

Thanks for the tips guys, nicely done! Burningsaint welcome aboard glad to have you folding with us.  Remember also the PPD depends on the WU you receive also.

You need to use Driver 327.23 or the Beta Version 326.80 driver on mist GK1x9 and below cards.
GK110 and above for the most part are ok using current drivers. And pray that you do not get any Core 15 Tasks.
Thank you!

I have had the passkey since I started folding. How do I see how many WU I have completed? And where do I see the cores?

I am going to guess 17. 15 doesn't have qrb (which you know, but just saying, lol) and 18's usually net lower than 17s. I am interested as well, as I will hopefully be getting the 760s back soon.

just out of curiosity, what driver would be best for 570?
i dont think i can change it as i have it in the same system as the 970, but just curious.
also, stanford keeps giving the 570 core 17s that take over 24 hours, while the 970 is getting 18s, grrrr lol

I am going to hijack the thread a bit... I heard that a gtx580 can be set up to have more ppds than 770?
