Really Low PPD

Post by george_C »

I swapped my GTX 780 for a GTX 970 and all was fine. I then after a few days stopped folding for a gaming session and it seems to have really messed my account up. First I was getting an error saying something about not having anything in slot 02 (never had any card in slot 02 before) and I couldn't change any settings in the advanced controller. To get round this I reinstalled the whole client and now I'm getting 23-24k ppd. before thsi with the GTX 970 I was getting about 260-300k ppd. Any ideas?

System:
- i7 4790k
- GTX 970
- Gigabyte z97 gaming 5 motherboard
- Corsair ax1500i (yes I know its overkill)

If you had not reinstalled the client after upgrading the hardware, that is likely the issue behind the slot error message. Fixed now that you reinstalled.

Next issue is PPD. Did you add your Passkey after reinstall? Double check it for a typo. Is the current low PPD on which project? Posting a log could help.

Welcome to the forum.

Did you reenter your pass key when you reinstalled the client?
What projects are you currently running? 260-300k PPD sounds like core 17 work - you may currently be running core 15 work instead which is much lower pints as there is no quick return bonus
