I will try the 186.18 driver again. I think it just disagrees with a couple of things like Furmark and my old crappy motherboard.

No its still drawing 60a-65a, but its measured at 1.11v.
Voltage X Current = Power
So its 60W-66W. Peaks upto 80W.

Ill give the GPU folding ago again when i get the CUDA drivers downloaded, i really play too many games on this rig but i only use one GPU. If i have the other GPU folding will it impact on system performance when i play a game like Fallout 3.

Oh I see, I was calculating at 12v. You are still fine though and will not come close to hitting the wall on your PSU. If it were the case, my PSU would have buckled by now since the GTX260 is hitting ~50A @ 1.11v while folding and the PSU is only for 45A on the 12v rail.

Well i can still manage to play Fallout 3 with everything maxed out including 8xAA, while running 2 CPU foldings and a GPU folding so im happy.
Temps havn't gone above 80c on neither of my GPUs and only hitting 50c with my CPU.

It seems they have done a great job with the GPU2 client. I remember trying the Gen1 client it either froze windows every 10sec or gave a UNSTABLE_SYSTEM error in the logs.

That's good to hear Karlos.
