Folding Forum

You both nailed it, thanks!

A friend gave me his old gaming machine, complete with an old AMD GPU whose model i've yet to determine, plus a GTX 1650. I just installed the 1650 into my own machine, which is already folding with a Ryzen 3400G, both CPU and iGPU, no graphics card. I paused everything before the installation of th...

Image is broken, and I will use my magic ball and say that image was showing LAR systems broken entry into their database. The entry is broken, and does not show real FAH performance on that GPU. H100 has 67TFLOPS of FP32 performance 5090 has 105 TFLOPS of FP32 performance 4090 has 82.6 TFLOPS of F...

Thanks you two, I assumed as much, must have just been coincidental timing that there was an ongoing project at the time. I'm planning on building a new PC later this year, new modern hardware on the horizon

I fold using the AMD Ryzen 3400G CPU, and a couple of weeks ago, I decided to try using the integrated Vega 11 GPU (code gfx902). This worked great, effectively doubling the WU/PPD count. But a few days ago, it suddenly stopped getting any WU's. I get this in the logs, and wondered if there's a way ...

You can't any more (as far as I know). The latest version is online only. I think it's been quite a few years since the screensaver was a thing.

With bonus points, the difference in PPD can be significant. I’m not running v7 anymore, and projects vary wildly. But I believe I’m getting +25% PPD vs intel cores under Rosetta. I can confirm the difference between similar projects from V7 to V8 on a M2 Mac mini is 48% increased PPD so nothing to...

Raspberry Pi 5 is still on the 28nm node I think - they stay on the "value nodes" to get good performance/$, but the result is that the compute/kWh is not great. It's low power when idling, but when number-crunching, it gets relatively poor performance for its power consumption. Take this...

To be honest, after just securing myself a new job which pays better than the last (I work in IT funnily enough), i'm thinking to hell with it, and save up for a custom-build 16 core/32 thread Ryzen machine! Set FAH to 28 CPU's and see if the integrated graphics will be strong enough for normal usag...

My M1 mini gets 40-240k ppd with bonus. Usually 150k. I expect the base M4 to get twice the ppd. Well anything released in 2024 is going to smash my current chip, which averages 40k! I just have a hunch though the 8700G will still beat the M4, albeit using slightly more power, just due to the FAH &...

I have a Mac Studio with the M1 Max chip. I set it up to use the 6 performance cores for folding, and have not noticed any impact at all while gaming in WoW or other games so far. I see a bit higher PPD than shown on the Lars site, but that includes an average over all cores. The economy cores do s...

I've been running a Ryzen 3400G CPU for some years now (no GPU), and am looking to upgrade over the coming months. I was originally looking to upgrade to the latest AM5 Ryzen chips (8700G), that is until Apple recently released the latest Mac Mini with M4 for just £600, and now i'm torn! This will b...

ok, mystery solved

Mystery indeed solved (at least for me).... Last WU went by without a hitch!
Sorry for the run-around!

I will have to check this further on my systems as I was running an older release of the v8 beta client. I also saw a memory leak on macOS, that was running v8.3.14 Intel and fah-client had grown to 3.3 GB over a few weeks. As that system has 48 GB of RAM it barely noticed the memory usage. On Wind...
