Re: HOWTO: How I got my AMD card folding on Linux

I've updated the OP with instructions to add the fahclient user to both the "video" and "render" groups. We knew about the "video" group already, but I just tried a new install on Kubuntu 20.04 and found that it did not work because on this installation, /dev/dri/rende...

Or Nvidia and Intel could have supplied some servers/resources/bandwidth/etc before encouraging everyone

Just switched out a GTX 1080Ti with a RTX 2080Ti on Windows 10 Performance has gone from circa 1.1mil PPD to 1.87mil PPD (32s TPF) Power use (for whole machine) has gone from 185W to 251W Update: Project 11728 1080ti Frame Time 00:56, PPD 1,236,447 2080ti Frame Time 00:39, PPD 2,127,456 Project 1172...

Re: RTX cores for folding@home

Exactly :)

And it uses 20% more power to get that hash rate than the 1080Ti

If you could overclock your 1080Ti by 24% then you'd probably match it.

Re: RTX cores for folding@home

Results are in, there is around 21.4% increase in Cuda cores going from 1080ti to 2080ti, (3584 vs 4352) and the single precision increase is pretty much exactly the same.

Re: FAH stopped on core download

All of those files and folders were in the directories you refer to, before I wiped the entire directory and tried to get the client to download a fahcore afresh. They were also all wiped out when I uninstalled and reinstalled Folding@Home in the process of eliminating the usual ways of fixing the p...

Re: FAH stopped on core download

So, to rule out permissions issues, I uninstalled again and did a custom install onto a root folder I created on another drive, E:\FAH with separate directories for program and data. For clarity here is the full log from startup, installation and showing the configuration steps. I've left both CPU a...

Re: FAH stopped on core download

Yup, but no point anyway, as the Vega machine behind the same router isn't having problems. Additionally, I uninstalled FAH on the Windows machine completely, and reinstalled from scratch. Still same error. Looks like its not just me: viewtopic.php?f=72&t=30828 https://www.reddit.com/r/Folding/c...

Re: FAH stopped on core download

Yes I can access the cores on the same machines with browsers. Its odd that it would suddenly become a local permission thing on two different OS's on two different machines simultaneously. Nothing was changed on either the Linux or Windows machines, it started happening overnight. I tried updating ...

Re: FAH stopped on core download

Deleting the files worked for me, I removed any workunits and all cores installed and let it download again.
