I was thinking of creating a GPU based bitcoin mining rig, but found out about those ASICs coming out very soon which will put GPU miners out of business. So, I want to switch over resources to WCG and start a folding rig. I know that core clock is most important with bitcoin mining, but my question is, what is important for WCG processing?

Do as much work as the device can for which you get the useless token points as evidence. Get 700,000 points and you've done 1 TeraFLOPs of computing, by WCG measure. https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewSearch.do?searchString=teraflop
How to get more points is looking at maximizing how many GPU jobs can be run concurrent [use app_config.xml for configuring this and a client version of 7.0.42 or higher]. That of course depends on the hardware you have. An ATI 7770 is said to be able to handle 12-24 same time, albeit, the more you run the slower it gets, certainly when getting into high utilization... > use of > 95% of the GPU. Then jobs start waiting on each other or failing [error/invalid results]. You can OC CPU and GPU, but for that you're on your own. Stock speed and kept clean, no desktop should fry. |
