Folding Forum

When you get it folding, please give us a performance update on the below link. I'm sure people want to see where this GPU falls in the performance category.

Thanks!

Yup. I would say it would be good for the client itself to be more accurate. Speaking of which, my iGPU is now estimated to be getting 120M PPD after a sudden restart. The client really does need to be fixed. :lol: If I was connected to Lars at the time, I would have obliterated the 780M stats. May...

v7 is still working well with Advanced Control and HFM ... no one used Web Control with this client. :roll: I used web control so little I was trying to figure out what the OP was even talking about. I'm not opposed to progress, but let's just say the lack of bugs in 7.6.xx and HFM is keeping me fr...

It looks like the 9000 series is Ryzen. I'm looking at Threadripper or EPYC for the PCIe lanes. But I suppose any Zen5 has the architecture changes you speak of. Then I suppose I was right in getting a Threadripper 7960X with 24c/48t. GROMACS won't shit itself and it should still have superior ener...

Well I hope it performs as well as expected, for the sake of all the AMD users.

Core 30 HIP. By Christmas. You heard it here first. *












































+ Standard disclaimer. WHICH Christmas is unknown. Core 30 is only a guess.

5080 is one generation newer. We need hip FAHcore first, then I can talk to AMD to improve things It looks like despite being a generation newer, the 5080 has worse FP32 performance per watt than the 7900XTX (6.39 vs 5.78 watts per TFLOP). And yet with HIP it is only as fast as the 4080 for folding...

So far it seems the 5000 series is as expected. No real major efficiency jumps from the 4000 series, just more options to fill in all the holes for TGP/price/etc. For the most part it seems that overall the overall cost of folding decreased due to the GPU costs, but electricity still comes into the ...

Considering that many people don't fold 24/7, and they don't want to constantly tweak their systems in hopes of meeting timeouts, it seems that either the project assignment was too broad or that the species bump created the issue. Being towards the bottom of a species almost ensures that you will o...

Pe the discord channel it was announced that p17656 to p17660 were intentionally moved to public to test core 27.

I think the issue with points has already been reported here on the forum or possibly on discord, but either way any further issue should be reported.

We run DaVinci Resolve, surf the web, convert music files, stream shows, and essentially anything else we would normally do in a day without ever pausing or even noticing that FAH is running in most cases. Windows takes cae of things fairly seemlessly, and the hit to folding is minor in most cases. ...

The stats page, https://stats.foldingathome.org/os, shows the current computing power of FAH. The Internet Archive only has stats starting at 2018, which shows a significant in activity compared to the current statistics. It makes sense that there would be a temporary increase in folding during COV...

In all fairness, when you have a simple box to check in the user interface, people are going to use it. And it's not like the same thing didn't happen with earlier versions regardless. Being that the majority of points/stablity/core issues/etc take place within the internal testers now there really ...

But a reminder for the internal testers.... All the first work units ran at normal PPD estimates for my 1660 Super. Later projects increased TPF almost 100%. I tend to think either something changed in the later runs of the project, or possibly something that changed in Windows 10 OS that caused the...

To be honest, I think a lot of people are troubleshooting issues that seem to only exist in the beta client. It IS a beta client still, and while it might be fine in most cases, that statistic doesn't help when you are not one of the "most cases". There are some little bugs even in the old...

Project availability levels move around on a regular basis, regardless of what is going on in the world beyond science. Keep in mind we as folders often have no idea how long any specific project will last, so the number could be fairly but if they run plenty of Gens of each it will take quite a whi...
