Re: New user with AMD 7660D Linux questions

If you are concerned about power consumption consider a Nvidia GTX 750Ti, they use very little power and are fairly reasonable folding cards. Yeah, I've thought of going that route a while ago with the 750Ti. But my issue with that is knowing that in about 5 months that the 14/16nm video cards are ...

Re: New user with AMD 7660D Linux questions

I don't have a clue (regarding X11 window forwarding affecting folding performance). Let us know when you figure it out. Well... I'm by no means a scientist and have performance numbers fully fleshed out. But it seems like my total average PPD is still right where it was. All of the work units have...

Re: New user with AMD 7660D Linux questions

If you take a 24hr average of torrent/X11/media/steam/seti etc. (excluding FAH) how many free CPUs do you have? I'll check that as soon as I get home. That's probably a fair way to look at it. The seti screensaver option was good if the computer was mostly idle while you or your customers are sleep...

Re: New user with AMD 7660D Linux questions

Don't bother running the iGPU, it's a very low end form of the VLIW4 architecture (used in HD6xxx series) which is not very good at running FAH, so it won't probably make the deadlines. Check the ETA of the GPU slot after it completes a couple of % ... Yeah... I was kind of worried that VLIW4 wasn'...

Re: New user with AMD 7660D Linux questions

Update: I think I may have answered my own question with this thread: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=28030 TLDR: Joe-H said if you're using your computer (inputting and monitor on), FAH scales back resources used. Here's my questions: Would having the computer put the display to sleep up my APU's GPU outp...

New user with AMD 7660D Linux questions

Hello Everyone! I'm a new user with some quick questions regarding my folding efforts. To get started, here's a snapshot of what my folding rig is (an abridged version of FAHControl's System Info): CPU: AMD A10-5800K APU w/ Radeon HD graphics CPUs: 4 Memory: 6.7 GiB Threads: POSIX_THREADS OS Version...
