images/news/foldingathome.jpgWe're happy to roll out the beta nVidia client, it's a nice beta, and so here we go...

First and before you do anything else, LOOK OVER THE FAQ. Lots of important things in there that you'll need to know if you do anything beyond run the installer and run it.

Drivers
You MUST use the 174.55 version of the drivers for now. You do not need the other files, just the drivers.

Known bugs:
It's a beta, and yes we meant that, not like Google but like software engineers - expect glitches and updates. The main thing is that the viewer will not work, as we're in the middle of changing how the live coordinates get to the viewer. Other then that, visit our nVidia beta Forum to see what's happening.

You forgot to mention there is a new gpu2 client for ATI too. Now you can run multiple cards in Vista 64.

Download link is in the first post of this thread. http://foldingforum....php?f=42&t=3188

From what I've read so far the Nvidia's will own the ATI's.

From what i've read with the correct drivers and shader tweaking you will get over 5K ppd. Unlike my 2 ATI 3870s which barely manage 3800 ppd.

Hmmm, cool might have to give this a try. Can I run this on my GPU and the cpu version as well?

Since I don't have a shiney 8800 G anything at this time. I'm once again left out.

Yep! I'm running an SMP along with 2 gput clients on my 3870s. The Nvidias only need about 20% of 1 core.
