Folding Forum

any way of knowing if a vega, which is 10,000 or so flops will actually give better results than a 2060 or 70. I say this because I was told the 5700 series doesnt get good results across other distributed computing platforms, tho what I gather is it has moved on to beta testing on folding. Whatever...

I somehow got to read this post that says the newest series of 5700 amd gpus doesnt even work on folding at home. If this is true, I would basically like to know, and why it wouldnt be posted here anyways as 1/2 of the market in video cards. If you have any real knowledge that would be helpful as I ...

i knoe you all constantly say ram and hard drives have no effect... But since the new hard drives a 3200 gbps m.2 sata instead of 6 gbps regular ssd sata, I actually got about a 100,000 points increase pairing it with 80$ ballistix 3200 mhz ram instead of my 2600. Ram has been a classic way to upgra...

well I was going to let this topic die because I have already had 2 posts on this topic, but then gpu-z has a new read on my laptop that says usage. I know usage statistics have always been there, but they werent there on this laptop last time I wrote this. So basically I have a 2500u with vega 8 gr...

I dont take pads off, I only paste whats been pre pasted. Also kyronaut is the best thermal paste you can buy. "They" Is infact the lenovo technical support forum. Bottom line is 95tdp shouldnt downclock, and it doesnt, theres a technical name for what they have it perticularly doing, and ...

well I posted something a couple of days ago, but it was never published. I already wrote it but, there are about 40-50 pages on why my Lenovo 330-15ARR downclocks. They seem to think they would get alot of power out of it. I mean honestly this thing can power through anything while running boinc an...

1101 is the base clock. As soon as the cpu temp passes 65 degrees the gpu becomes downclocked and therefore unusable. I put kryonaut thermal paste on it, so I can run gpu at about 500 mhz with no cpu, you think vega 8 laptop gpu is better than the cpu side of a 2500u? it was getting to about 63 degr...

it can go 1100MHZ, its been at 199MHZ for a week.

Project and apparently work unit are the same on the web view, Project '13823'

Its now only utilizing 199MHz instead of 1100MHz

I didn't do anything to it, left it on, and it started doing work I noticed last night or this morning. Ive had a really long day or I would have said something. Thanks guys

ive got units before, like start of spring when i got the 2500u with vega 8, same as a 750gtx. why waste it.

Well the title says it all. When I first got the laptop start of spring, I didnt give the vega 8 the chance to get through even one work unit, at least it got them. It is the same speed as a 750gtx, i have that a r9 380 thats not hooked up and a rx 580 that is. Im hoping to get a sli/crossfire board...
