OK I decided to make a small guide on how to get strated with gpu grid boinc folding for team evga. the best cards are gtx 260 and up the workload and temps are not as high as folding and your caRDS WILL ONLY USE ABOUT 70% of it's ability at this time.
 
first go to this link:
http://www.gpugrid.net/join.php
 
you'll see a screen similar to this and at the top right click on your account and at the bottom of the next page click join

 
at the bottom of the page click create account and add your information.
 
After creating your account now join team DC@EVGA this SS looks a little different then what you will see when you are signing up there will be click to join a team. click that and just search DC@EVGA.

 
now you will need the client which is in the link at the top of the page run or save it your choice

 
after you install the gpu grid boinc client you will just need to enter your username and password from when you created your account. after you enter that info you'll see a screen similar to this.

 
The wu's will start downloading (MAKE SURE SLI IS DISABLED BEFORE YOU RUN OR INSTALL THE CLIENT!)
just like folding@home the client will use each card on its own 1 wu per client.
 
once you see the client above and want more details/control click on advanced and you will see projects tab tasks etc.. the tasks shows the wu's crunching and the ones in que waiting for the wu  ahead to finish
should look like this

 
this is a screen shot of team evga gpugrid team

 
to stop receiving wu's just go to the advanced view and click no new tasks.
 
this is very much like folding at home and helps many of the same fights as folding at home ie: medicine research, Cancer, Alzheimer, etc..
the best part is GPUGRID offers the opportunity to its highest donor, once reached the target, to choose a research topic ie: if you want the topic to be cancer.
 
for a first time user I found this very simple to set up much simpler then folding at home, most the info is web based and there is team as well as user stats just like folding at home. so if you got a 470 or 480 doing nothing here you go start folding/crunching to fight for the cause.
 
Hope this guide helped as I had to learn as I went along but would love to see more memebrs from EVGA get involved on our team as with only a few memebrs we are already climbing the charts fast toward the top teams.
 
for compatible gpu's see this list and look for te greene ones

I joined with one of my 9600's

A pity F@H doesn't have something like this, this is much easier to set up :P

I joined, excited to be using my 470 now but can somebody please explain the stats to me?  

Also, how do I use my other GPU?  

IT'S like folding at home you get points per task, just do some tasks and go to the grid link  http://www.gpugrid.net/home.php  go to account and on the bottom left it will say something like total credit and task "view" to see how many points per task you get.
 
to use the other gpu just make sure it is not in sli and hooked up it will auto use it if you go to advanced mode, then tasks tab it should show 2 task working at same time if so that is useing 2 cards.,
 
hope that helps some

is that your gts250?

it only uses gtx 260 and up cards that would be the problem.
see this link only the greene color card numbers work

when my bonus points for my i7 920 start to roll in on folding@home, I might move my 8800 GTS on my second computer to this and give it a try.

edit: oh crap, just looked at that link you posted pgmoney, 8800 GTS doesn't work

it runs on most reasonably fast nvidia cards except the gtx 260 65nm version. the reason why they say it doesnt work is because the cards take a very long time to finish the work units.  plenty of people crunch with g92 hardware and it works fine although 200 series is a good bit faster.

True but my 250 and Nite's 8800gts are both in red.

that's extremely outdated. they have updated to cuda2.3 and now 3.0 for fermi.  iirc the c2.3 version was 20-30% faster than 2.0 which was used in his table.


if you are willing to run gpugrid on a low end or older card its worth a try. you've got nothing to lose.

according to their forums it is not outdated

I think we got more then 7 it just takes about 24 hours to show in the team results

your link don't work.

If you have an ATI 5870 they seem to be accepting beta work in the following link: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=1458#13411

the beta is not out yet. back in november they tried to launch a beta but it instantly crashed when you ran the wu's so they cancelled it. they have been working on debugging it. its really hard because they are waiting on ATi's openCL compiler team to get rid of the bugs so they can have stable code the they can  optimize it. its going to take several more months at the rate its going. cuda is mostly past those stages except with 400 series.

after using BOINC and doing projects for gpugrid several days, this is much easier to setup compared to folding@home.

Im trying to get my gtx 470 to fold, and it says processing suspended. What do i do?
