Re: Win10 7.6.9 doesn't add a slot for my GPU
Found the solution in this thread : viewtopic.php?f=108&t=34499 I would suggest that you: Manually download the GPUs.txt file from here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt (right-click save as GPUs.txt) Exit the client Copy the GPUs.txt file from the Downloads folder to %AppData%\FAHClient ...

Re: Win10 7.6.9 doesn't add a slot for my GPU
Installed->doesn't recognize any GPUs -> restart -> No GPUs -> uninstall -> reinstall -> No GPUs -> several restarts -> Still no GPUs.
Any ideas?

Re: Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU
Anyway, the original question was about CPU vs GPU points. I was under the impression that some projects required the use of a CPU instead of GPU. Apparently that was incorrect and it is simply a distribution of work to available computing resources. That pretty much invalidates the rest of my argum...

Re: Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU
Your GTX 1050Ti was never a low-end card. A GeForce GeForce GT430 is a low-end Fermi GPU. Feel free to calculate how much slower it's going to perform. Ok mid range, whatever, my point was that it was not top of the line when new and still holding up pretty well years later like a 1080ti. Even a GT...

Re: Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU
My interpretation was that some projects, due to some factor, required being run on a CPU rather than GPU. If that is not the case and its just a method to distribute work to all possible resources, then the current point system makes a lot more sense. Getting into the weeds a bit here talking about...

Re: Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU
That is good info. I'm not sure how its relevant to my comments above though. QRB doesn't really make sense to me. Was there a huge jump in computing power at some point and F@H was trying to encourage people to get new hardware? Better hardware = better computing = more WU complete = more points. I...

Re: Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU
GPU FLOPS must be at least 20 times more available than CPU FLOPS. If there were the same number of CPU projects as GPU projects then CPU FLOPS would be 20x more valuable. The only way a CPU getting 1/10th the PPD makes sense is if the number GPU Projects/WUs/FLOPS in the queue is 200x greater than ...

Re: Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU
I realize that GPUs are much better at this sort of computing, but if there are projects that require a CPU and it would seem CPU FLOPS are much less abundant due to both the capabilities of CPUs and the abundance of multi GPU systems. If a project requires a relatively good CPU to run for a couple ...

Why are CPU projects worth so few points relative to GPU?
Right now my 12c/24t Xeon CPU is struggling to hit 100k PPD. While my little GTX 1050ti is doing over 200k PPD and my 5700XT is right around 1million. That is just their stats at a glance today while they were all working on COVID19 related WUs. If there are Projects/WUs that need to be run on a CPU...

Re: In-depth donor history?
I get it. The infrastructure to support the actual purpose of F@H is more important than a silly stats page. My issue with the current stats/points system is that it doesn't accurately reflect work done. I understand the point system is just a psychological trick to give people the urge to fold more...

Re: Can You Modify "Next Download Attempt" Interval for New
The delay makes sense. Obviously you don't want everyone checking for a new WU every 10 seconds, but is there a reason behind the exponential increase up to several hours of delay? Is there a reason a 30min cap on the delay until the next attempt would not be reasonable? The recent increase in avail...

Re: In-depth donor history?
Looks like there was an update a couple days ago and it seems to be working now. Still would be nice to simply add Projects/WU count to the stat page.

Re: FAULTY project:11760
I saw the same thing in my log as well. Same project. I have a 5700 XT in that slot, so I assumed it was just due to driver issues with new AMD cards. My card isn't overclocked either. Its actually underclocked for folding.
