Folding Forum

I have the impression that FAH Client doesn't support this specific PCIe mapping.

I asked the dev to have a look.

See comments in the beta thread about p18281 : viewtopic.php?t=43321

Yes, these projects are restricted to nVidia species <= 7. Your 2080 is species 8.

Last time I saw it, it was like a shooting star ... I'm pretty sure that muziqaz made a wish !

It should work, but there's literally no advantage bothering with such things.

Get a normal Radeon or a Geforce instead.

Make sure that your are not mixing everything (passkey, usenrame, email used to get the passkey, account email, account passphrase/password) : https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-5-client-guide/

I've been using a 1070 for years and it is producing between 1.2 and 1.5 million PPD. Your 1080 shouldn't be far from these numbers.

If you see values lower than that, something else is wrong.

Post some logs from the client.

And don't have high expectations for such low power things, if it's less powerful than a RPi 5, it won't make the deadlines and will be useless.

GROMACS on GPUs sucks It's still too dependent on the CPU.

And it will already run on ARM CPUs (although big.LITTLE shit is always a pain).

Yes, v8.5.5 seems to be doing fine.

Writing the date at each line would add too much data to the log ...

The date is printed at the beginning of the log and also every time a core is started. Also, the log in v8 rotates everyday at midnight, so you should only have current day logs in current log.

Something is still wrong with your OpenCL/CUDA installation.

Or something is preventing the client fro getting the accesses it needs ... do you have some security software/policy that could be limiting your actions ?

Where are the time per frame and PPD values from each test cases, taken from the same projects ? These are the only values we trust to measure FAH performance.

Base credit has been increased to 28800 for p19229. Does it look more in line with your expected PPD ?
