18717 has a low atom count and those type of WU's just do not play well with 30XX and even worse with 40XX Cards. 18717 has at 77k atoms. Meanwhile 18715 has 100k atoms and provides much higher PPD than 18601 (334k). I imagine there's far more to it than just raw atom count that adds to a WU's comp...

So my 4070ti typically gets about 215w power draw while folding and maintaining a relative 110-14 million PPD. However I noticed a massive PPD drop for 18717 WUs. Like 5.3M PPD (not down 5.3M, down TO 5.3M). Checking power draw in GPU-Z I'm seeing ~140w power draw typically. GPU usage still sits aro...

yes but the averaging should remove the variance between WUs -- thats why we typically use averages after all. This would also suggest that there should be roughly an equivalent amount of WUs that are 30-50% higher than the average. I just find it strange that folding.lar uses automated reporting vi...

Hello, I decided to try out Linux with my RTX 3080 as folding.lar reports it was averaging ~7M+ PPD on there. However upon switching I've been hovering around 4.5-5m. Windows sits at 5-5.5m. Is there something I'm missing? I thought Linux was the better OS for raw folding, or is ~5M expected on both?

Thank you Bruce! Its folding away

What kind of PPD are you seeing? In line with GTX 2060 Super?
