CPU folding?

Hi guys. So, I was folding a lot a while ago and then I took a break, but im folding again now. So, I would fold on my GPU but for whatever reason, my GPU WILL NOT FOLD no matter what I do even though it is supported, so I am folding on my CPU. I am wondering about my estimated PPD, it is current at ~1k... but I remember it being a lot higher before... and im not really running much besides FAH so... ideas? OR is this normal PPD? My CPU is a AMD FX-6120 Six-Core Processor... maybe this is just normal and im just crazy? If so, is there much I can do to improve that? Besides spending money :P (dont have the money atm)

To your GPU folding problem did you remember to set it the slider all the way to full so the GPU can fold even when the system is not idle and if you did remember that have you tried deleting the GPU from the list and then re-adding it back in?

to get the correct amount of PPD you need to let it fold for 10-20 min, cause if you just take the number it says in the beginning its just wrong

My 680 starts at 20k and then just up to 95k and just stays there happily folding away

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

If you were a previous folder, make sure:

 

A - You are running the lastes FAH client (7.3.6 I believe)

B - Running the lastest GPU drivers...
