Folding Forum

You have new enough gear that if you fold 24/7 you can produce more points than most folders, but the crazy thing is as you go through the ranks you have to catch up to others producing at the same level.... so you don't. You eventually pass others going slower, but some of them have been folding so...

Hardware advances have fueled most of the numbers you see. You have to keep in mind that F@H is over 20 years old, and initial work units produced less than a point. Even those that spent top dollar on hardware weren't producing many points, even if they folded 24/7. These days even gear considered ...

Interesting that it just hung like that until it timed out. In any case, if you get continued problems you should report them, since it's a benchmarking project and looking for any possible issues.

How do I get my machine to stop jamming up on this project? It might be worth showing more of your log. I can see the last line you posted, and assume it crashed after that, but the why and/or the specifics might be down further in the log. If it doesn't go beyond that point and just restarts at le...

If your Steam games run fine once you get the client loaded and you can take the performance hit on the games and/or the folding, I'd suggest just pause folding before you load the client. This should allow it to load at regular speed and then you can start folding again after the Steam client is lo...

Some are claiming that HIP will give a huge boost to AMD for folding and certain other things. Of course it's always soon.... when soon is nobody knows. :?: TBH I didn't even look at any AMD stuff when GPU prices dropped a little last year and I grabbed one. The lack of driver updates and support al...

Hopefully they got them all, but HFM would tell you for sure. Either way, your long term contributions are appreciated. That's a lot of years of folding, and hardly worth tossing away even if some points didn't credit. Though I didn't fold long term, I did a little when the project was in it's infan...

Jives11, The MB manual for that lists a very small list of supported GPU's. Though this might not be exact, I was looking to see what version the X4 PCI-E slot was. IF you find that it can be supported, I'd agree with Joe that it's not worth buying anything too old, even if it is somewhat performanc...

It was just a suggestion, I don't have your exacts. Do you use HFM to monitor your work units? I do and took a quick look, all of my project 19600s that were missing showed up.

TheWolf, What about the huge spike at 12 PM? That is when my points for 19600 hit, and your number of work units and points rewarded spiked considerably. Keep in mind that though 19600 for most is a very high PPD project, it's also very short and thus the number of awarded points is small. On my sys...

That's what happens when you guys with power gear leave F@H running for too long without a restart. You end up exceeding files sizes and such! :mrgreen: Glad you got it sorted out, and I guess it's easier to do than it seems, whatever the cause. Yesterday I decided to finish a work unit to do a syst...

Good eye Mattifolder!

I had a couple as well, starting on the 11th. All prior to that seem to have been credited.

In some cases, especially with AMD cards, the older CPUs really can't handle undervolting or lowering the GPU without causing a whole load of issues. On top of lower PPD, the GPU have to be kept at a higher power limit to prevent crashing. I had a lot of bad work units when I started folding again ...

I did a bit more digging today, and might still try changing priority to see if it helps. On a few of the newer projects, the system is taking a hit of almost 30% at times, way more than the older stuff. But with some looking, it does seem to be only a few projects that are doing it, so not much of ...

Interesting testing on your rigs @Pyrocyborg. Though the differences aren't huge, it does show that CPU impacts GPU more than some claim. It might be interesting to test other factors and figure out what really drives those differences... is it clocks alone, clocks and cores, ability to boost? (Not ...
