130K on one 780? holy crap
 
I can't wait to get my GTX 770 and see what it does PPD wise

Did about 334k with 2 reference 780s yesterday while watching netflix on a second screen. Getting TPF of 2:50-2:53 when not doing anything and around 3:03-3:10 when watching videos.
 
Mine seems to be dealing with OC pretty well all of a sudden. It was giving me problems last week but all sorted out. Currently one card boosts to 1188 and the other 1136 and SLI is turned on. 
 

I'd like to use the Fahcontrol V7 for my GTX 780 but I can't get it to work properly so I'm using Jedi's GPUtracker V2 for now

rjohnson,
looks like your card is not yet in your GPUs.txt file listed.
Either download the latest v7 client, or delete the local GPUs.txt on your harddisk (and force the client to download the new one).
Restart the client you things should go fine

One thing that I've noticed is, if I move the power limit to 106%, my power usage climbs a little, I have my card at stock clocks.. With the power limit at 106%, the tpf on a 8900 is 3m 27s, with the power limit at 100, the tpf is 3m 30s more or less, with 106% my power usage NEVER goes above 73%, so why I'm getting more performance just with adding more % on the power limit? My clocks are the same with 100% power limit and 106%, my card boost is 980 Mhz.  And I don't have throttling because of temps or power usage.. 

The 3 second difference is just random variation.  Raising the power limit does nothing for FAH.  As you noted, FAH never comes close to the default power limit.

Upping the voltage will decrease tpfs (slightly) as that adds additional turbo bins (even if you don't change the clocks).

Yeah, I 've noticed that is a random variation.. After my post I was checking my TPF on my client more closely, and changing the power limit and in fact this didn't change anything, it was a random variation.. After that, I just left the card at stock and everithing is the same..
The only thing that I found strange is, that I can't overclock my card and fold without errors, even with a mild overclock. Somebody here experience the same behaviour? It's not a big deal to me, just curiosity.

Try underclocking memory.  8900 is very sensitive to both core and memory clocks.  Since memory speed has zero impact (I've gone down to 4000 effective with no change in TPF), it's worth trying that first.  I had one very finicky titan that I could not core overclock at all,and even at stock (EVGA SC version, so has a factory OC) would get an occasional error.  I underclocked the memory to 5500 effective and have been able to apply a moderate core over clock without errors so far.
 
I have other cards where lowering memory clocks got me nothing (could not increase core clocks), so it's only one possible cause.  But since decreasing memory clocks (even substantially) has no performance penalty, it's worth trying.

My 660ti GPU has a 83 mhz oc and the memory is 46mhz oc
I am not having any problems at all.
Not had one fail, knock on wood.
1136/3055 for GPU and mem in Precision X
I guess I am lucky.

dittos, here.  660Ti FTW is at 1,241 to 1,267mhz temp. dependent.  pushing out 75K ppd., np.  can't wait for the 780 Classy to release.

Too bad core 17 and 8900 are too unstable for OC's

For that high of an OC, certainly.  But I think it's a card-by-card situation with respect to more modest OCs.  My 780 is running at 1215 MHz boosted on 8900s without issue.

fyi, over in the 700 series sub-forum, in the 780 classified's release date thread, evga jacob (evga product manager) said, it now looks like the 1st or 2nd week in July, for the 780 classified's release. 

I think the 680 does around 80k PPD stock vs. the stock 780's 130k.  Whether that's worth the upgrade is your call.  Looking at ebay it seems like you could sell your 680 for around $400.

I am running my 780 and 690 on the same box currently running the monitor off of the 780 so the 690's  have no heads and are just folding I had pulled out my 580 to toss in the photoshop box so i can fold with out interruptions.
 
Base clocks on all its sitting at 140k for the 780 and a 168 k  on the 690.
 

 

i use an 850 w Corsair power supply.

Jacob posted 4 hrs ago the 780 Classified should be released next week.

Woo Hoo!
My 780 SC is in the post!
 
First time in my life I'll have a top-of-the-range card.  Looking forward to it.
It will replace my 560ti, and should give my rig 220K-240K ppd potential. 

you need to flag for advanced for the GPU.
