Folding stats all over the place since 10/16

Post by Calibrator »

Greetings,

Prior to 10/16/2018, I have been consistently producing around 2,000,000 points per day. Since then, my daily production numbers are all over the place and much lower. My two GPU's are not running as hot either. Prior to 10/16 my GPU's were running at around 50°C under full Folding load. Since 10/16 they are running around 37°C and 45°C. Have the project loads decreased or is there a reporting error for the stats? My Configuration under the Advanced tab is set to "Alzheimer's". https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com ... =&u=351730 "Calibrator" team 11108.

Thank you for your help.

You really can't draw any conclusions from the last two weeks. There have been inconsistencies due to problems with the database BUT all of the data have been recovered and corrected. Are your present totals consistent with your expected production based on extrapolating historic production levels while ignoring erratic totals during that 2-week period?

No, that's just it. My production is way down. I'm averaging about 800,000 points per day whereas prior to 10/16 I was producing around 2,000,000 points per day. The logs look fine. I'm going to try not requesting "Alzheimer's".

The pool of project you get might have changed ... or something is wrong with one of your machines ?

If you made some updates, did you check if your passkey was still set up in your clients ? Did you check that a Windows Updates didn't break NV drivers ?

*** SOLVED ***
I was using the latest version of Nvidia drivers version 416.34. I checked the date when I installed those drivers. The drivers were installed on 10/17/2018! I rolled back to version 399.24 of Nvidia drivers. Presto! Problem solved! Thank you for your suggestion. You nailed it. BTY, I'm producting 2,000,000 points per day on one computer with two 1080ti's. :^)

I typically get 650,000 ppd on my three GTX 1070s on three different machines (Ubuntu 18.04). Suddenly tonight, they jumped up to 850,000 ppd on one P11719 and two P11730.

Nothing changed on my machines. Someone turned up the knob too high.

According to EOC statistics at 11.04, 3am all teams received more points. Probably there is a change of clocks (-1h; UTC Offset: UTC -6) in the location of EOC servers.

OK, things are back to normal now, with 670 to 685 k ppd on P11730.
