Folding Forum

guys please stop saying ppd varies by work units...im not a noob. I know for a fact that ppd does NOT vary by 30% across the same damm work units? @mdk777 I know performance changes with thermal limits, but ive said this numerous times now temperature is not the issue here. I am well below my therma...

no matter what I do I cant get over 130,000ppd even on the better 7810 and 7811 units. Here is part of your confusion. 8900 did much better on AMD cards...on my 7970 realistic final ppd of 89-92k 7810 and 7811 might do better on NV, but on my AMD realistic final ppd of 68-70k Hence the combination ...

Ive tried removing both sets of drivers, done clean windows install, only folding on the 1x290, folding set to full priority.

hmm im not pausing the slot either, ah well no worries. Thanks for your help guys, ill just live with it lol

Ive used folding@home with my fan speed at 100% (and lost 50% of my hearing in the process), which has kept max gpu temp to @65C, which would eliminate thermal throttling. I also use HFM to monitor ppd.

30,000ppd worth of variance?

Any ideas then why myself and others used to be able to attain higher ppd a few weeks ago, but since core17 seems to have gone public ppd has dropped? I have tried literally every combination before you ask of new drivers, older drivers, overclocking, not overclocking and the ppd has remained the sa...

Hi around 3 weeks ago on my 290x I was able to attain 170,000ppd on a 8900 on my amd R9 290X, with a TPF around 2min 52sec. Now my ppd has dropped massively and its taking ~3min 27sec to do the same work unit at the same clocks. Have Stanford increased the difficulty of the core17 work units or some...

Hi I am using V7 client but im monitoring ppd with HFM. TPF stinks on the 290 at the minute, its like something is wrong with it. I used to have a r9 290x and it got 170,000ppd on an 8900 with a mild overclock, with this new r9 290 ive got no matter what I do I cant get over 130,000ppd even on the b...

Hi all I'm having issues with a r9 290 when it comes to folding performance. For instance on a 7810 work unit I'm only getting like 120,000 ppd whereas a 7970 will get similer or more points. I have seen the ppd on this unit jump up to 190,000 once, but it's just gone back down. I have tried amd bet...

Hi all im constantly getting this message on my linux ubuntu 12.10 v7 client F@H machine. It doesnt matter what work unit it is, but my fah keeps getting interrupted every so often then starts itself up again...whats going on? I have tested my pc for 12 hours with prime95 so I believe its stable, an...

I am also getting problems with trying to upload a 6903 unit to this server, and afterwards all i could get was SMP work units. I hope I dont lose this Wu, worth about 250,000 points.
