Folding Forum

I tend to air on the conservative side, but honestly, if you're able to fold with the driver you currently have, I wouldn't mess with it. If you're experiencing the bug with 0x21 though, I would recommend pinning your kernel and installing the hotfix driver if you're comfortable with manual driver ...

I've never used it and was just wondering, what is the advantage of using Web Control?

Which Nvidia driver version?

$3000 including GPU's You should consider the entire cost of the folding rig, not just the GPU when calculating the PPD/$. It may make more sense to go with a higher end GPU. Are you up to building a PC or are you looking at buying something already built? It's not that hard. For $3000 you could bui...

While in principle I agree I also have trouble to install drivers in Linux at times ... just raised two posting in nV forums for Linux on it; but getting off topic Sure. It took me a while to get it figured out but now it's routine. I posted my method in another recent topic. https://foldingforum.o...

Yet another reason I'm glad I'm using Linux.

This is a likely reason, some of these really suck for ppd. https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=29288 The guy in charge was contacted a month ago and nothing has been said about it since. I haven't gotten any of those in quite a while and I'm sooo glad. My PPD is up 400K without them.

What I do to install Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint works very well now that I've worked out all the kinks. #for example for latest version of driver 370. It's really easy but sometimes it takes a while for the latest driver to be in the repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo...

GPU ones do not make use of it

Thanks for clarifying that.

I followed the suggestion and checked my log before and after a reboot. 19:15:45:WU03:FS03:0x21:Completed 4250000 out of 5000000 steps (85%) 19:15:59:WU02:FS02:0x21:Completed 4700000 out of 5000000 steps (94%) 19:16:07:WU01:FS01:0x18:Completed 675000 out of 2500000 steps (27%) 19:18:15:WU01:FS01:0x1...

Interesting thing. I decided to try and look at the timestamps on the checkpoint files. I found files checkpointState.xml and am guessing they are the checkpoint files since they are very large and update regularly and there is one for each WU. Strange though, I have checkpointing set to 30 minutes ...

On my Linux box I'm pretty sure that when I execute a reboot checkpoints are created at that point.

FWIW Currently averaging 3.3M PPD. Over 3 months: Spent: ~$3835 on hardware. Made: ~$1315 from folding incentives Curecoin and FLDC coin. So I'm down ~$2520 If I ever break even I'll build another folding rig, which I hope will be in about 6 months. Heat isn't much of an issue in winter as it goes t...

It looks like stats are down now. Very low points at 3 and none at at 6.

Aarghhh how will I survive without my stats??? Maybe we could take up a collection for a failover server? I pledge $100.
