Folding Forum

:shock: Yes, a Radeon 7600 should certainly generate heaps more PPD than a Quadro T400. I happened to be up in the attic starting the Asus Turbo RTX 2060 in Z443 on its evening run (8pm - 7am), and I logged onto the forum while here. The RTX 2060 picked up a WU from project 18262, which is poorly re...

It is a while since I ran a trial of the Version 8 Folding app, because I decided to stay with version 7.6.21 because it better suits the way I run things. Thus it would be better for someone who used version 8 to explain this. But if I remember rightly, then referring to the image you posted, the s...

if the actual grpahics card gets number "194.000" and the newer card gets higher number Other things being equal, more PPD is better. If that "194.000" means 194 thousand Points Per day (PPD) that has been estimated and reported by the FaH app for a particular job (WU) while it ...

Is there a way to track the performance of the GPU vis-a-vis the currently in use? ... (GPU is W6400) I know nothing about ATI/AMD GPU's later than the ATI Firepro V3700 of 2008 that I bought on eBay in a batch of 8 cheap GPUs in 2016 and which died just the other day. However, at Techpowerup the e...

another shooting star Back there in March last year, team "Hewlett Packard Enterprise" jumped from a respectable but unremarkable ~150-200 MP/month to 2.74 Bn, 5.15 Bn, 6.0 Bn. and 7.1 Bn (June 24). Thereafter it dropped to 3.9Bn, 2.4Bn, 2.1 Bn, (September 24) and then reverted to 132M, 1...

Likewise, failure to upload to work server 158.130.118.25 or collection server 158.130.118.26 since 22:27 UTC yesterday, 11 attempts till now 4 hrs later.

Being but an humble folder myself, I have no particular insight into what the "team" may be doing about this, but a summary can easily be found at PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36945779/ , which says in part: Review Biophys J . 2023 Jul 25;122(14):2852-2863. doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.20...

Thanks. I have the same need to control folding time (off peak electricity 10pm-7am) and currently use 7.6.21 and Lar Systems timer, but will presumably try this when/if they stop working.

After a week away and devices idle, I returned to find that Z802 and Z441 had offers of ESU enrollment, which I accepted, making 9 enrolled. I found my way around the endless loop on Z601 by switching from a local account to a windows personal account and bypassing the bizarre refusal to recognise m...

The Windows documentation on this particular free ESU enrollment is very variable and now I can't even re-find the link that told me about the specific conditions for this particular version. One condition was that that you had to be running 22H2 and latest updates thereof (latest meaning a date now...

Two days ago I was working through my W10 devices doing the September updates when I was surprised to be offered free enrollment in the W10 Extended Support Updates program for some of them. But most did not get an offer, though they are all registered with one or the other of my MS accounts. This i...

Interesting. First a quick check with https://www.etymonline.com/word/fungible , which tells me that a fungible things is "capable of being used in place of another ...". So it seems from the advice above that I can safely conclude that CPU and GPU WUs are non-fungible these days. Yet it w...

My own perspective on the CPU/GPU business is that if there were types of modelling that actually NEEDED the fancier capabilities of CPU's and could not be done at all with GPUs, then I'd be happy to run those CPU WUs alongside the GPU ones. But, since it seems that they are just alternatives to do ...

We are using a plethora of various GPUs for GPU project PPD adjustment, and loads of different CPUs for CPU project PPD adjustment

So the short answer is that :

"the "Points" documentation at https://foldingathome.org/faq/points/ needs to be updated

by muziqaz » Sun Sep 07, 2025 9:05 am Point system has not been corrupted or nerfed :D Here is what's happening: nVidia stopped supporting and improving their CUDA libraries for older generation cards. New drivers new performance improvements to newer cards. This negatively impacts old cards. This ...
