That's really impressive. My 1080Ti maxes out at 1.5M ppd.

7im has helped me so much over the years with folding. Last, he helped me get my 1080Ti working on a Linux box after I had been wasting so much time trying to figure out why it wasn't. I'm sure many others have the same experience. This just feels unreal, and is a massive loss to the community. Rest...

Up to 1.3M ppm average with an Evga SC2 Hybrid Gaming without extra OC. Wow.

Indeed. I got my 1080Ti yesterday and it is an absolute monster. Up to about 1.1M PPD from the previous 300k with my 970. Power usage is not too much higher either. I actually think it could pull even more - monitoring with Afterburner shows "just" 85-90% of the GPU being used at any given...

Are these projects now officially dead? Are there any other ongoing ones which seek to improve FaH performance?

Thanks for the input so far - I am still running software rendered Cinnamon, and it is working beautifully. PPD sits comfortably at 110k, and the only lag issues I have had so far is light hackiness in the browser and YT videos, but everything else works perfectly.

Yes, my mistake. Not sure where I got that from.

Currently I have found a reasonable workaround by using software-rendered Cinnamon as my DE. No tearing for now - will see if it stays that way.

I am folding on a Fedora 20 box, with a GTX770 running on the 319.76 drivers. I did expect display performance to take a hit while folding and working at the same time, but it has become all but unworkable. The Xorg process shoots to 100% on the most minute screen updates (scrolling etc), and overal...

I have not used the pause trick for at least 48 hours, and the folding process continues without error. There appear to be no traces of the bug at all. I wish I could determine exactly how I got to this stage for the benefit of other Linux GPU folders, but the only major change I can recall doing wa...

7im - I can't identify with either of the cases you mentioned. The driver version is 319.76, and I have had the TDR issue with it earlier: [christopher@chrisdesktop ~]$ nvidia-smi Fri Jul 18 07:44:01 2014 +------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 5.319.76 Driver Version: ...

Understood, could it have something to do with my OS then? I am far past the 36-hour cutoff, and there have been no broken WU:s, no crashes, or any other symptoms of the bug at all.

I fold on a GTX770, using the 319.76 Linux drivers on a Fedora 20 box. While I was previously rebooting every 36 hours to avoid the TDR bug, I have noticed that pausing the folding seems to have the same effect. Letting the card rest for 5-10 minutes between each WU, I am now approaching 72 hours of...

I see, thanks. My card has been chewing another 9406 for a bit now, and the difference is already enormous - TPF has dropped by well over 50% (approx 9-10 minutes with 331 drivers down to around 4 min with 319). I guess it is safe to conclude that PPD will shoot up dramatically as well. EDIT: a litt...

Out of interest, is there any significant difference between the 319 and 325 driver(s) when it comes to performance? Currently, I have installed 319.76, would I be better off going with 325.15 instead?
