Sounds good. Hopefully won't be a difficult fix.

Am I good just leaving the v8 client up and running indefinitely until it eventually grabs a WU?

Both v7 and v8 are downloading updated gpus.txt/json. Now all we need are WU's!

Also, FYI, GPUz v2.61 is out now, which has the new Arc in it.

Thanks. Still issue with client downloading updated gpus file.

I'll wait and see how it does on v8. My other boxes are still on v7, but can't hurt to give v8 some more time on the Arc box and see how it goes.

Also, once the GPUs.txt/gpus.json files are updated, will the client automatically download the new version and start folding, or will it need to be manually restarted? It will need to be restarted for client to retry the gpus.txt update. It is Sunday, so dev is not looking at the computer screen t...

here is preliminary results:
p12704 (109k Atoms) - TPF (lower is better)
Radeon VII - 46s
7900xtx - 20s
gtx1070 - 60s
gtx980 - 1m 23s
Intel Arc B580 - 44-45s
3070Ti - 27s
4060 - 31s

So I'm guessing maybe 2-2.5m ppd looking at that?

FYI if anyone wants to follow along: viewtopic.php?t=42257

I tried the FAHBench app, although not really sure what to make of the results. I got 180 on single precision and 25 on double precision. Tried comparing it to a 4060Ti, where I got 192 on single precision and 15 on double precision. But if we're not expecting the Arc to fold near as well as the 406...

Thanks for the reply, so really no particular advantage to running AMD cards.

Sounds good, hopefully the hardware is capable. Seems like it should be according to published specs. Would be nice to have Intel in the fold, so to speak. Thanks for the assistance, looking forward to seeing how it goes when your card arrives.

Suggestion for updating was because latest beta is vastly more feature rich than 8.3 version. And it fixes quite a few issues. And reboot thing is just a tip, since there is still one bug in Windows client, as it kills any running WUs when rebooting the system. I mean windows kills WUs, not client ...
