Folding Forum

Apparently I'm not allowed to post files (while being asked to) and the gaslighting approach in these forums is tiring. I give up, too much effort while being told I'm not seeing what I'm seeing. I'll keep going by what the client says is happening on the off chance it's accurate and assume if it's ...

Ok so Job running on 7.5 finished up with a PPD in the low 30k as normal. I upgrade to 7.6 and start a new job. Let it run for some time checking on it, take note around 4% and 6% and it's holding steady (and even dropped slightly) to just over 10k PPD as was the case over days previously running th...

Yes the rate can vary wildly at start (in fact 7.5 takes several minutes longer to actually ramp up the CPU than 7.6), but it settles in to a pretty steady number during the hours the job is processing. That settled state is 2-3x higher for jobs processing under 7.5 and corresponds to the final cred...

On the same 7 core 4th gen machine 7.5 folds 2-3x faster than 7.6 resulting in at least double the PPD using the older version.

Is there a place to get 7.5.1 until 7.6 is fixed? Hard to believe the speed issue hasn't been addressed yet.

THAT would have been useful a week ago. Indeed it's the passkey. This was presented as optional, nothing said you only earn 1/10th the points without it. As soon as I put that in on the Mac the PPD went up 10x. This really needs to be highlighted more significantly up front. Now if I could figure ou...

Maybe I'm not saying something clearly, or not understanding what you're saying. Ok so I get that there are newer power powerful GPUs that are apparently cranking out more credit heavy jobs than my GTX 1060, so I won't try to speculate about the jobs I have run vs what someone else may have run, and...

Looks like it's more than just a platform question. Not only do Apple systems seem to get a fraction of the credit for the same work as Windows (again unless by some oddity Mac gets smaller WU that therefore lead to this idea since the WU data size isn't disclosed), but there have to be other such c...

Interesting.... I've seen like 2 jobs actually use the GPU slot on the Windows system, and none have used it on the Macs, despite the fact they all have nVidia cards. Granted the Mac GPUs are older, but if the Win one isn't actually doing any work I'm not seeing how this has an impact? But, I get th...

Why are Mac systems given aprox 1/10th the credit of Windows systems? I've been monitoring this the last week, and on average Mac systems get 1/10th the points compared to Windows. It has nothing to do with how long jobs take, I'm looking at roughly equivalent times (though this one job that is goin...
