Hello together,

I´m new here and I want to support this awesome Project. I have now the following Problem: my 1070 ist only with 50% loaded (Windows 10 Pro 64Bit Task Manager). Can you please explain why? Can I optimize my Nvidia Setting for folding?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards Sascha

In task manager be sure to have selected compute_1 instead of 3D.

As a 'second opinion', you can check the sensor screen of GPU-Z

TM lies, well not really, but it does obscure data to the point of misdirection … If you are interested there are a number of Hardware monitoring tools (I use HWMonitor but there are other/better tools available as mentioned previously) .. These will allow you to not only monitor usage but temperatures and other sometimes useful bits of data (such as fan speeds and voltages).

WOW this Forum is awesome. Very quick answer. I checked my TM. If I use "Cuda" is see a load of 97%. Thx.

I think this is to slow. I found this Sheet online. What do you say About my stats?

Welcome to Folding@Home!

Base Credit: 16339
Estimated Crédit: 16339
Estimated PPD: 145535

Your Estimated Credit is the same as your Base Credit, which means you are not getting the Quick Return Bonus.

To get the QRB, you need a Passkey. (then do 10 Work Units with at least a 80% success rate)

With a passkey applied and ten units successfully completed your full-time production assuming no interruptions (gaming etc.) your 1070 should achieve around 800Kppd.

Now another Question. I want to use different PC´s with the same Account (Name) + Team + Passkey. Is this possible? Should I take care of something? Or can I use always on every PC the same data?

Welcome to the F@H Forum Quad2000,

That's a personal preference. I tend to use the same username+passkey for all my systems as I like uniformity. However, other donors like to have a unique username for each system but use the same passkey so that they can monitor individual system performance. Do note that to get the bonus points (QRB) each combination of username+passkey will need to qualify for it.

Sorry, I have no clue what an R9 360 might be expected to deliver … If you post a log someone might be able to check if there are issues viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036
