Folding Forum

And final update: Graphics card ran stable at ~110-115k PPD overnight with a GPU clock to 1150 MHz from 925 MHz. Memory kept stable at 1250MHz. Power limit was set at 15%. Temperature at 70 degrees celsius and fan speed at 50%.


Thank you everyone for your help.

Estimated PPD up to 85k with some overclocking.

Update: The problem was the monitor not being connected directly to the GPU. I'm waiting for the PPD to update but its already at 37k for the GPU.

What port is your monitor plugged into, the iGPU? I have found that often when AMD GPUs are not primary and in use, they will shut off (normally a good thing). This can make them a little difficult to wake up and get working though. Yes that was what I was thinking that to - gonna get a new cable a...

I think the problem is the monitor isn't plugged into the gpu directly - will change it today.

i ran gpuz and it is not showing any temperatures or the clock speed - it shows that for the intel card but not for the amd.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. And thanks for clarifying my expectations this is my first graphics card I have purchased just for folding @ home. I'm going to try and run all of folding_hoomer's suggestions now. I'll do them and run it during the night then give updates on improved PPD in the m...

I downgraded back to 13.25 drivers - non beta and i'll let it run for the night and see how it does

Ok, thank you PantherX. I checked for typos - none. The PPD for core 0x17 is up to 15k ppd but I'm still going for more like 75-100k. Here is the whole log: 02:21:14:Saving configuration to config.xml 02:21:14:<config> 02:21:14: <!-- Network --> 02:21:14: <proxy v=':8080'/> 02:21:14: 02:21:14: <!-- ...

I am using the latest driver which I believe is 14.4. I'll look at adding the log file. Also I have a pass key but I've been using the same passkey on two systems - one with an Nvidia 765m which has definitely completed 10 work units and this one - would that make a difference?


Thanks ahead.

Hello Everyone, I recently got a new system with a HIS 7950 graphics card and a i5-4670 to be used for folding. However, I am experience low PPD on the graphics card. I set the CPU cores in the configure tab to 3 and was getting 6k ppd but the GPU was only getting 1.2k PPD and running Core x17. Does...

Ok, thanks for the advice guys.

What would you use to get everything else for $300? Also I would prefer AMD Graphics cards.

Hello,
I was curious, if you guys had $1000, what rig would you build to get the most PPD for that amount of money.
