Folding Forum

So your GPU is still running at a high percentage usage of the shaders processing the data, but it is being done at a lower clock and therefore slower. Hmm, I see... So by the looks of it, I guess this is as slow as I can get my GPU to work with MSI Afterburner, huh? Nothing I can do about the GPU ...

@Rel25917 Sadly, my network adapter seems to be from a model that's so old, 3.0 ports don't even power it on. A powered hub does sound useful, but I don't really want to get one just for the sake of folding. I'll probably get one in the future when other USB needs arise. Many thanks for the suggesti...

@foldy Thanks! I'll try it out! UPDATE: After installation and without configuring anything else in MSI Afterburner, I set my GPU's Power Limit and Temp. Limit to their lowest possible setting (70% and 65 degrees, respectively) and applied the changes. However, when I checked my GPU's performance wh...

Really? What utility do you recommend to set a GPU cap?

Are you on 2.4 or 5.0 GHz? Can you tell me where to find this info on my Windows 10? Originally on my Device Manager, my Wifi network adapter was on "20_40MHz" and my network speeds became unusable whenever my GPU was being used for folding. Setting it to "20MHz Only" somewhat a...

From what I've read on older threads, F@h has no way to set a GPU cap when it's using GPUs for folding. So if the client uses your GPU, it's going to run at 99-100% capacity until it's finished. I want to use my GPU for folding alongside my CPU, but it's interfering with my Wifi network adapter. Cha...

@bruce No worries, I'm using a PC that has separate GPUs for Intel and NVIDIA.

@Paragon I assume I disable my onboard GPU on the BIOS settings. Is this correct?

Yeah, I'll try using F@h without my second monitor and see if that resolves anything when I get the time.

Will update once I get results. Thanks!

I have 2 monitors. My primary monitor is plugged into my NVIDIA GPU via HDMI and the other is plugged into my Intel GPU (onboard) via cable. I wanted to plug both into my NVIDIA GPU but my second monitor is a bit outdated and the GPU doesn't have enough ports for older cables. Sometimes windows acts...

@Paragon Updated my post to include my machine specs from F@h's System Info tab.

Yup, everything is up to date and F@h is the only app on my machine that's giving me this issue.

Nothing too serious, just a bit inconvenient. ^^;

@Jesse_V Sorry about that. Updated my post to include my OS. Thanks!

Whenever I try to interact with the UI like clicking on a button or dragging an area to resize it, I always need to first click on the window's Title Bar to "set focus to the window" even though I never clicked on anything outside it. This also applies to nested windows such as the Configu...

Noted! Thanks for the tip, you guys!

@rwh202 One last question, what do you recommend for accurately checking CPU and GPU performance?
