Wins 7 fold with GPU

[D-Rocks]

I installed windows 7 64-bit about a month or two ago and havn't reinstalled my client yet to start folding again. Does anyone know where I can find it for windows 7? I have the client for vista but not for 7. Any help would be great. I would like to fold on windows 7 with my GPU.

The vista one will work just fine. They (WinXP, Vista, 7) all use the same client.

Those of you guys folding on Windows 7 with your gpus have you noticed a significant drop in ppd from when you were folding on XP? Just wondering if there is a big difference between running a multi gpu folding system on xp vs 7 as I start to migrate towards a 7 upgrade soon.

I haven't noticed any PPD differences, but apparently XP is the best OS for running multi GPU setups.

I tried Win7 with my 3 GPU's and it didn't work, but turns out the mobo is at fault so I really can't say much...

Yha J, if youre multi gpuing, stick with XP..The newer drivers are supposively getting better for 7, but it's still a crap shoot.

I'd say it wouldn't make much difference to the PPD, performance in games would be a bit different for other reasons, but running the same code on the same GPU shouldn't.

i was running two gpus in my folding rig when the 9600gt was working, and it ran fine...didn;t have any problems, till the 9600gt stoped working lol.

win7 gets unhappy after 2 or 3 cards.
