My PPD is currently ~1700 and I know it should be considerably more than that

i5 3570k, 12GB of RAM, everything on an SSD

Welcome to the forum.

There is too little information to see if there is a problem. However, the client will not give a good estimate for PPD or final points award until several percent of a WU is completed. Also there is no value in setting the checkpoint value to the minimum of 3, and in any case the GPU folding Core_17 does not use that value in determining when to write one. That checkpoint frequency is set by the researcher running the GPU project.

It would be useful to see the beginning of the log where it shows the client version information, the system configuration and the folding configuration. You can display that in the client by clicking on the Refresh button, or by copying and pasting from the log.txt file in the F@H data directory.

Also curious why you needed to dump that CPU work unit causing it to now be delayed and reassigned to someone else?

I curious why you have used 5 different passkeys. (Probably one is the empty passkey, but you've used at least four others).
