Just two days ago, I broke down and switched from GPU Tracker V2 to FAH 7.3.6 so I could get my GTX 690 cranking on CORE 17. I have to say, that after two days I'm a bit disappointed in the results. With a mild stable overclock, about 10%, temps well within range and months on GPU Tracker I was pulling in about 35-40K PPD PER GPU, giving about 75K PPD for the card running 24/7. After 7.3.6 and only setting the client-type beta in the extra slot options, I'm down to a combined 55K PPD folding project 7662 units. Now I've seen these posts:

http://folding.typepad.com/news/201...about-2x-increase-in-ppd-for-gpu-core-17.html
And I assumed at least SOME increased PPD. So my questions are:
1. What am I doing wrong?
2. I know I'm running core 17, so are there any other steps that need to be taken to reach a higher PPD?
3. What the heck is OpenMM 5.1 and how do I get my grubby hands on it? Assuming I'm running OpenMM 5.0 now?
They use the 680 as an example in the second article, so I'm assuming anything that applies to it will cross over nicely to the 690. I could really use some expert GPU folder advice.
