Remember its more about the shader clock and the points teh WU are worth

511-Killers maybe 4000 ppd

100% correct.
It depends on the WU that is going at the time. The 353 are very fast, the 384 are a little slower, and the 511s are PPD killers.
If you want to OC the card for folding, just increase the clock for the shaders only. The core and memory clocks will have little to no effect.
Since you have a 9800GTX, it is pretty much the same card as mine. I have my shaders set to 1949 on each card, and that is a conservative OC. You can push your shaders well past 2000, maybe even 2100. Use RivaTuner to OC and control the fans, and use ATITool to test the stability of your OC.

 

Yes I agree with both of these guys...it will depend on the WU for the most part...are you working a 511? That gives me bad PPD as well on my 9800GTX. Just OC the shader clocks like was said.

 

Now I got 511 and its dropped. Blah. The stats say I average 7000PPD. I just wanted to see if I could get the set up to produce say 9000-10,000. but I guess not. When I build the new system I will probably get there then. Shader needs to be higher on both??

Leave shaders and core linked and try these:

9800GTX:
780-800mhz core should be doable
1170-1200 mhz memory should doable as well.

9600GT:

I think you can get it to ~730-750mhz core.

511s are very hard on the GPU. Check your GPU temps, and make sure they are below 80C. I have heard many stories of people dropping WUs because of heat.

 

Trying some of the setups now. Temps were at 80 but I spun up the fans using EVGA precision. I left both linked and tried these numbers.

I think its time to clean the old farm again. I have bunnies running amuck in my puters. Thanks Spaceball Trueg50 and Corky. + rep

Now lets see if I can hold a little more PPD.

I know at that overclock, with good air flow, my 9800GTX was loading at around 70-75.

Biggest thing though is to pop off the stock cooler, and reapply the arctic silver, the original job is pretty terrible.

Or if you get bored, you could lap the stock cooler; that dropped my temps a few degree's.

Was thinking the same thing myself. Turned fan up and got it down to 76 untill I clean it. I have a case mod I am working on to put this system in. Placing a 120mm in bottom feeding air to card. I have run out of funds for it but its there when i go back to work. Plus a top exhaust 120mm as well. been out of work since Nov. but hanging in there. Waiting on a call now for 2 jobs back at Autozone or Advance. Going for management. To old for other career changes now

Points went up to 8921PPD with OC and still running the same wus it was on.
