In few days I´m adding HD 4870x2 and two 4770´s to crunch

Congrats on the milestone and nice average . Plus your adding more cards. Nice going!

Congrats, Bulldog! Now you've just passed 30 mil! And staying on my heels PPD-wise.

[BulldogPO]

Yep!
Soon going to add those two HD4870´s to crunch
And now updating to my HTPC/cruncher from QX9770 + 5770 to Xeon L5640 hexa + HD 5850 :p

Nice stone, Bulldog.

I just launched MilkyWay and bagged 400K points in roughly a day with my two 4870x2 cards. Pretty fun

However, there are some drawbacks:
- Little bit of GUI lag here and there. Nothing compared to Nvidia GUI lag when running GPUGrid
- 1.1 KW power draw. Overloading the UPS I have, so a power outage will knock out the system.
- HEAT. The heat dump into the loop from these things is insane. I need to split the loop from my CPU/chipset or add more rads. 6 120mm rads can't cope.

I'll see if it's viable to run.

Is their server down right now?

Hi guys, also joined in on the fun with 4870x2. Crazy number this thing is giving out

[BulldogPO]

Milky is indeed giving teal results and data as project and also it is giving out heck load of points

[anubis]

What actually (almost) p*sses me off is that in 6 days of MW@home i`ve got 600k points, and thats with the first 5 days using 4870, now on 4870x2...and in 3y4m in WCG i`ve managed 2mil.

Sad almost
But it feels SO good seeing big numbers...like really good. Upgraded to a cheap 4870x2 just for that

Any way to reduce that GUI lag now with MW@H? I tried setting 95% util and it doesn't seem to be working.
