wow! very impressive!

Any PhysX performance questions may be better asked in the 400 series forum. I don't have any info on it since I have only been testing folding.
 
Out of curiosity, what would be the best way to test the PhysX performance? If I get a chance, maybe not until next weekend, I may be able to run a comparison between a couple of different cards that I have.

OK. Thanks Nahte27.
 
Like I said though, it will not be until the weekend. I'm in a race to 30 mil with Punchy and can't let up at all.

Thanks again.
 
I also just found out from Jacob that the 430 does not support voltage control, so what I have now will be the highest OC I can run on this card.

i though increasing the shaders only help with ppd? or does overclocking all the card help with ppd?

^+1
 
Also, I tried leaving the memory clock at stock and got artifacts. The highest core/shader I could get was with this particular combination. If I went to 750 or 800 on the memory, I got artifacts, so 775 was the sweet spot.

Sound good till now, think to buy one

OP Updated with info on 2nd wu.

Second wu (10951 [925pts.]), at 40% completion, is showing 9402.35 PPD in HFM.

that is seriously impressive.... I'm gonna snag a couple of those cards when I can.

I could easily cram three of these in my folding rig that I have now, stash the 9800 gtx+ away and fold like MAD!

Update on the 430.. Seems using it in a X1 slot it no longer possible :-(  At least not for Fermi cards. The board won't detect it. Funny how I can put a 9800GT in a x1 slot on a board with 2  GTX275's , no problem.
The 430 does work if I put it in a PCI-E slot..but I have nothing open.
 
UPDATE: I DO have an open slot on my X58 board..lol here I go, gonna try to run a 430 along with 2 275's. Have to add the GPU3 client in a new folder, I'll report back later.. this should be interesting..
 

Got everything up and running with no "problems"..The only thing is the 430 is a cpu cycle sucker just like the 450's I have in annother rig (the one that doesn't have another PCI-E slot). I'm running 2 275's along with smp2 on an I7 930. Just not enough cpu to go around. The PPD on one of the 275's drops by half when I start up the 430. From 9200-4800PPD. CPU usage in lasso shows the 275 cpu usage goes from 2% to 1%. The 430 pulled a 611 for its first wu, folding it at 3800PPD which is about right for those things. No sense in sacrificing half the points on one card just to make it up on another. Usage in precision shows 99% for both the 275's..NO downclock. Just lack of cpu cycles seems to be the cause. The second I shut off the 430, PPD on the 275 climbs right back to where it belongs in a few minutes.  Don't know how to fix what isn't really "broke". These are the 260.89 drivers btw.
GPU2 clients are systray (set up a long time ago).. the GPU3 is console. 
275's are running core 11
430 is running core 15
E758 board that is dummy overclocked to 3.2.. rock solid stable for months for both cpu and gpu
1000W psu, got plenty to run this hardware. 
off to bed now.. will brainstorm this in the AM.. If you have any ideas Rjbelans, or anybody, feel free to chime in.
This will be good to figure out a fix for..as GPU2 is phased out, more folders will be mixing cards like this
as they begin to integrate the Fermis with 200 series like i'm doing now.

Only things I can think of is to play around with the number of cores you dedicate to GPUs to maximize your overall PPD and see how the SMP and 275s like playing on the same core. Some have had luck with just changing priorities and getting GPU2 clients to run with SMP without needing to dedicate cores to the GPU (Falcon comes to mind).

I tried mixing and matching affinities and priorities alot before I stopped for the night. No luck so far.
 
Ironically, when I first built the rig months ago, the 275's use so little CPU cycles that I had no problem running smp on all cores along with the cards with negligible PPD drop from doing so. Depending on the wu's for both of course. I played with cores and affinities assignments, found my best results were when I let everything pick what it wanted. Assigning one core for the gpu's was fine, but led to big TPF increase on the smp2 client. -bigadv did cause problems with PPD no matter how I did the core assignments or priorities, so I settled for smp2. I have virtually no crashes this way, so I don't mind the 'lesser" points.
 
I'll play more with the setup today, and see what, if anything, I can do. I have no other place to put the card, so I have no choice. I think it's just Fermi being Fermi. They eat alot...lol
 

It is folding, but I am at work. I plan to do a similar addition to the OP tonight showing a few 611 wus completed.

You may have run into a PCI-E lane limitation on your mobo.

FIXED IT!!!
I knew I had to get away from the machine for a bit..so clear when I came back.. Simple mistake, I screwed up a flag. Forgot to pont to the folder that contains the GPU3 client in the target line.. stupid stupid stupid.........Putting all the shortcut properties windows side by side did it. I could see it instead of trying to remember it..
So to all who want to know, it's possible to fold a 430 with 2 275's on the same machine. All that along with a I7 930 running SMP2 on all 8 threads . CPU usage seems light for the 430 now that everything is configured correctly..
