Folding Forum

we need to ask why the software isn't being prioritized for modernization.

Does this thread really needed this type of comment?

CAVEAT: I know zip about AMD other than what I just looked up, but ... https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/previous-drivers.html/graphics/radeon-rx/radeon-rx-7000-series/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx.html tells me that the latest WHQL driver for your new card is Adrenalin 26.2.2 released 2026-02-28 , ...

https://forum.foldingathome.org/viewtopic.php?t=43104 may help if you are talking about Windows 11 (and probably W10 also) and currently supported GPUs. The key point is that both GPUs must be able to use the same driver. I also had a more recent experience last week with an old Z800 /Quadro 5000 /W...

Xeon® Gold 5117 Unfortunately the LAR CPU database doesnt have a 5117, but it has a 5120 that seems to be much the same but a tiny bit better when I compare https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/120474/intel-xeon-gold-5120-processor-19-25m-cache-2-20-ghz/specifications.html with http...

14-core 2GHz Xeon So as not to bury the lead, the optimal allocation of FaH threads for these Xeons is zero, unless your electricity is free. :egeek: Calculations follow. I assume that if we are talking about an an older generation DL360 then the 14 core Xeon at issue is something like a Xeon E5-26...

April 2026 W10 ESU Update - All W10 devices took the update and folded at least one WU OK, mostly Z440/RTX2060 doing their usual daily runs, plus trials with 2xZ800/Quadro K620 and Z600/GTX1060 with 7.6.21 and some Z600s with 8.5.5, eg a Z600 folding on 2xXeon X5660 and a Quadro P1000 and two Z600s ...

Your 2080 is species 8 ... unless it is a mobile version since https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt tells me that they are Species 7, like the 2060s. 0x10de:0x1e81:2:8:TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER] 0x10de:0x1e82:2:8:TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080] 0x10de:0x1e84:2:8:TU104 [GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER] 8218 ...

RTX2080 still struggling to get WUs No idea why your 2080 and 1080Ti would not be getting WU's. However, my similar devices have no problem. The table below shows the number of points each collected last night. The first three "users" are HP Z440s with RTX2060s running 7.6.21 under W10 wi...

Hi, Your screenshot shows power set to "Light". GPU's only run if it is set to "Medium" or "Full".

Hi, the experts here (I am not one) can't really help unless you provide some or all of:

1. Hardware
2. OS and version
3. Folding app (7.6.21, 8.4.9 etc)
4. Is this a new install or was it running OK before
5. If the latter, did you change anything
6. Maybe a copy of log containing the message

we plan to let the servers be hammered by V7 users trying to download something which is not working on that version

You mean like the ECB and Bazball 2.0?

eventually there will be some new projects or folding cores that the v7 client will not be able to handle I will likely be staying with the 7.6.21 version +LARS browser extension on most of my devices because version 8.4.9 doesn't easily let me control their operating times to avoid the more expens...

@ToW Well, I believe Michel Souris probably has a few thousand spare ones.

This is one of a number of problems/ challenges with 8.4.9 that has led me to stay with 7.6.21 and use the scheduler in the Lar Systems app - see https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=370490#p370490. Time of use electricity charging is increasingly common, and "Folding while I am using the c...

Just not seeing anybody talking about this, ... My personal view is just that the benefits of Fah to the world ecosystem - not just the potential health benefits of the science, but the visible demonstration of the possibility of civil international collaboration by ordinary folk - well, OK, maybe ...
