Intel Arc Battlemage B580 for folding?

Anyone know if these will support double precision so they can be used with F@H?

3070 Ti on PCIE 3.0 x2?

How terrible would performance be on a 3.0 slot running at 2 lanes on the PCH?

We gettin short on WU's again?

Woke up this morning to see one of my boxes couldn't grab any WU's with the no WU's available for your configuration error. It finally got a new WU a moment ago.

We entering a shortage?

Re: PPD differences in x8 vs x16 4.0 lanes on RTX4070 and higher?

Update: CPU choice is definitely affecting folding performance. I needed the 13100 out of the first folding box for another project, so I replaced it with a Pentium Gold G7400. The PPD dropped on the 4070 by about 3-4%, which is roughly 300-400k ppd. It's still doing better than the 4070 that's in t...

Re: PPD differences in x8 vs x16 4.0 lanes on RTX4070 and higher?

Hmmm...well, I feel like something odd is going on. Got a 4070 by itself on a 13th gen Intel platform (13100), and then another 4070 along with a 4060 on an 11th gen Intel platform (11400). The 4070 by itself (13th gen platform) tends to run about 750k-1m ppd higher consistently whenever on project ...

Any PPD reports for ARC GPU's?

Local store has some in stock now. Haven't been able to find any folding performance reports on any of them, though.

Re: PPD monetary value ?

Where I live, about 16 cents per million points, assuming you're running top-tier efficient folding cards.

Re: New Radeon drivers - 21.10.1 - performance still seems bad

All this is irrelevant now. AMD fixed the latest driver. Please update the drivers to the latest, and you will see PPD jump double Double of what? 22.7.1 is double of 21.3.1? Is 22.8.2 as good as 22.7.1? Thanks. Every latest driver brings back 20.3.2 levels of performance. There is no extra, no les...

Re: Folding @ Home performance on modern AMD GPU's has finally been restored! Driver 22.7.1

How does 22.7.1 compare to 21.3.1? As good or better? Also, is performance still good on the latest 22.8.2?

So the 6800 non-XT is not supported in 21.3.1/2? The release notes say 21.3.1 includes support for RX 6700.

Re: Pentium Gold G5400 for 2 RTX GPU's?

Well, I did the swap and haven't noticed any drop in performance. The motherboard does run the cards in x8/x8. All seems good.
