New Computer

Post by Rick9399 »

I just got a new computer, this time with a graphics card. :) So I tried to let my CPU fold in Chrome, and my 2 GPU's in the Client. But The GPU's only get 4 days each to complete, and I don't think they'll make it. Should I disable one of the GPU's? I don't see why because the graphic cards fold seperately but could this work? Please help!

Disabling one of the GPU's will usually not have any effect on the speed of folding. However, if the CPU is oversubscribed for processing, then the GPU folding can be slowed down as they would not be fed data to process fast enough. To show how your system is currently set up, follow the directions on how to post a log from the Welcome to F@H topic in the Announcements. Also let us know what setting you are using for your NaCl client folding in Chrome, they can affect the availability of CPU time needed for the GPU folding.
