Folding Forum

Blacklisting the following servers seems to be allowing my GPUs to get more reasonable WUs:

18.188.125.154
140.163.4.200
206.223.170.146

Thanks again for all of the advice!

All, it looks like I've kicked off some good discussion. Thanks for all the replies. I'll post some thoughts below: 1. I am not in any way trying to cheat - I've already stated I don't care about points, just want to be doing useful work for science. Continuously producing expired WUs isn't doing us...

Thanks for the reply! It makes sense now that moonshot WUs would have a quick turnaround time. Is there a list of the moonshot servers somewhere? It'd be nice to support the moonshots but as you say, it looks like my hardware isn't up to it.

Well, I guess we won't find out if those WUs would have finished because switching the WIFI card caused them both to dump. However, similar situation, both are working on similar project WUs that expire in two days with ETA of 2.4 days.

Thanks for explaining the difference between the timeout date/time and the expiration date/time. Both GPUs are now folding on a similar project (13438 and 13440) and have comparable estimated PPD (22717 and 22861, respectively). So, I don't think the PCIe slot running at a slower speed is causing an...

Okay, setting CPU to 2 threads gives the following: CPU Slot: Project 16927, 2438 PPD (formerly 3778 PPD) (now 2 threads vs 4) GPU 1 Slot: Project 17434, 10942 PPD (formerly 9963 PPD) GPU 2 Slot: Project 13438, 22783 PPD (formerly 15431 PPD) So that's a total of 36,163 PPD vs the original 29,172 PPD...

Setting the CPU threads to "-1" caused the program to default to 1 thread, and that did indeed cause the GPU PPD to go up. Raising the CPU thread number to 2 seems like it caused it to fall a bit (may have something to do with the CPU boosting when one core is being used but not boosting w...

Hello all, I recently joined the forum and made this post (wanted older AMD GPUs to be whitelisted, was informed why it wasn't possible): viewtopic.php?f=83&t=36869 So, I jumped on eBay to see what was available for cheap that wouldn't run up the electricity bill. I narrowed the selection down t...

Thanks for the information, guys. I'm glad that the program safely handles my "hacking" and just works on a CPU WU rather than completing and submitting some gibberish. Agreed that some additional commenting either in the GPUs.txt file, or in the log file, might be helpful for the end user...

Will do! Helpful information all around, thanks again. This can be closed.

Thanks for the helpful response. Below is a recent log file with the GPU slot running. I don't see any Core_17 or Core_A8. *********************** Log Started 2021-02-27T15:59:57Z *********************** 15:59:57:******************************* libFAH ******************************** 15:59:57: Date:...

Thanks for the quick replies. So - just to be clear - there is no way to request only older project types for these older GPUs? This is a shame - lots of hardware laying around out there that could be put to good use.

Hello all, I folded quite a lot close to a decade ago, but haven't done much since. I was hoping to fold with some older spare videocards, but my GPUs seem to not be supported. Both GPU slots are recognized but come up as disabled. See below for system specs: Intel Core i5-6400 (iGPU currently disab...
