I didn't see a single 8057 until switching over to V7.  After doing this all of mine pulled 8057's.  Have only seen a few 8018's in between.  When first starting up, if the beta flag is not set, you might get a WU that won't run on Kepler.  Here's what to do in that case: 

1) Start the V7 client, then check to see if Kepler GPU's they are actually folding.  Mine were all stuck at 0.00%.  Pause them all if this is the case and go to step 2, otherwise skip to step 3. 
2) go to 'Start' > 'All Programs' > 'FAHClient' > 'Data Directory' [it links directly to data location], then dbl click 'work' and delete your GPU-related directories.  The directories are those with names '00', '01', etc, which match your 'Work Queue' number on the V7 client expert main page.  Be sure you do not delete any CPU or non-Kepler directories. 
3) go back to the V7 client and click 'Configure', dbl click the first GPU entry (repeat for other GPU's as necessary) 
4) scroll down to 'Extra slot options (expert only)' and look for an Add button on the lower right and click it. 
5) under 'Name:' enter "client-type" and under 'Value:' enter "beta" without quotes, click OK 
6) Return to main V7 screen, look under 'Folding Slots' and for each GPU right-click > 'Fold' 
7) If they don't start properly just restart the folding client.   

 
It took me a few clicks to get where you got. Once I did this is the end result. Even after I deleted the 00 folder in the work folder, it re-created it all on it's own and now I have a second line @ 0.00%
 
What did I miss?

    You had been a huge help, thank you!. I followed the same process on my Gaming system (Two 680's) and whalla!
     
    So as far as I am concerned... The Tracker is one sexy tool, but did not allow me to get the 8057's for the last two weeks. I wonder if something changed causing the issue or was just blind luck...

    I got it figured out, it was stuck at 0 because I had my 580 and a 8600gts in the same system and it didnt like the non fermi card. I broke out an old socket 775 dell and threw the 8800tgs in there and am working on getting that folding. Does 60k ppd on my 580 with the 8057's sound about right?

    60k for a 580 on the 8057 is very low.  Look at your GPU usage and what core the client is running (ex: 2.25)

    Nevermind my post about the stuck WU, that only applies to Kepler.  Check pm for link to more helpful info.

    Right now I have it at stock clocks since I took it off water when I moved to X79 and a M-ATX board. I have been working on a 8018 this afternoon so I have not gotten a chance to see what kind of PPD I am getting with the updated log file. I am getting 17k PPD on my 580 working on the 8018 WU and i am not sure what I am getting on my 3820 as its starting a new WU right now but I think I was below 10k but thats at 85% usage since I like to actually use my PC when folding. I am working on remote access to my other box I just set up and I may OC my CPU later since I have that cooled by an old swiftech 240mm rad and the temps never hit above 50c when folding. Are there any guides for remote folding?
