@EvAnA11: The benchmark shows very little difference between having less bandwidth -- thanks.

@mflanaga: Good to know, thanks.

yep i have done it with gtx 260 myself in x1 and x4 slots in the past and it doesn't make a difference on ppd. only thing it will affect is if you have a crad with more cores on the same board the higher core card will drop down to match the lower core card.

Does that mean I can't have a 480 with a 260 in the future?

I was planning to get a 480 later and run it with two 260s.

As far as i know the updated core version 1.31 took care of that problem.

That's also what I've been hearing. Mixed card folding appears to work just fine now.

Can anyone verify? I don't want surprises later..

if that has changed it is news to me.
i don't mix cards on the same board for folding because everytime i have tried regardless of what stanford says it has always lowered my ppd for the other card.
 
so they can say it is fixed but ppd wise with mixed cards i say it is not fixed.
 
I just tested my 9800gt with a 275 earlier today and i can confirm my 275 dropped down to 5 k ppd. half of what it was producing.
 
shut the rig down pulled the 9800gt and my 275 ppd went back up. can someone else verify if his is fixed, because i can't seem to get it to work and if it does i got more cards that can be folding sitting here in boxs new.
 
is there a update i missed somewhere?
yes i am running some of the latest drivers 196.21 the rest after that are to unstable or too hot for me.
 
i say not fixed but there may be something else others know that i don't. i don't always know every thing but i can tell you what my cards did today in mixed mode on the same board.
 
I hope someone else can give a def answer here, and where as well as what fixed this if so.

Lalalalala, I'm not listening....dangit, didn't work. I really want to fold with my GTS 250 alongside my GTX 470.... 


Although, if I can fold on my GTX 470, they'll have to have a completely new, GPU3, core out. So maybe that will work well with mixed card systems, as they currently seem to be hit-and-miss right now.
