Gpu clocks

Post by MuFF »

Does folding use GPU core or GPU memory? or does it utilize both? I would like to underclock/undervolt either or to save power if it's not utilizing one or the other.

GPU core is doing all the work, GPU memory clock makes no difference.

A GPU with fast/large memory is unnecessary for FAH. A GPU with a lot of shaders (i.e.-lots of GFLOPS) is the primary criteria ... plus one CPU thread to move data.

Be especially careful with overclocking.
