In your export you state you have a RX 590 but it shows 69kPPD only...
That's without the bonus. I had it set to standard PPD/credit calculation.
Should I have done "Bonus (Download Time)" instead?

Not sure if it works correctly now.
Please make sure that your hfm-exports contain hardware information
Sorry for being dense, but what file are you wanting for the HFM export? On windows 10, in the C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\HFM directory, I see HFM.log, and also some files in the logcache directory. Are any of these what you're looking for, or is there some export tool in HFM that I'm missing?

My guess would be WuHistory.db3 that is the file that all the results get written to and which you query when you go to "Tools, Work Unit History Viewer"

Thanks!

Please upload as much as you can.
But please make sure that you define somehow used hardware

ok, hi ya iv just started Home Folding ! im not stupid when it comes to computers but ! my server ( duel cpu xion chip 2.1 gig , 16 cores, 16 gig ram !) but why are you all on about a top end GPU ?? my sever is working hard ( cpu fans going crazy but i did give 100 % in the program)
but still my server don't have a great GPU because it is just a server, is that a problem ??

Welcome to the F@H Forum PaulABuxton,
Please note that CPUs do contribute to the scientific developments. There are some calculations that are only CPU bound while others are GPU bound. There's absolutely no problem with just CPU folding or only GPU folding. You decide how much of your hardware you would like to contribute to F@H

Yes.
In my opinion the base credit has no meaning at all.
It's not possible to say wether the GPU is fast or slow.
Let's see the last 3 WUs I made on my 1080ti
w/ bonus | w/o bonus
1,45M | 138.3k
1.49M | 139.9k
1.49M |
190.8k
To consider HW only, you should use Bonus (Frame Time), as Bonus (Download Time) includes your internet speed, which can vary from user to user dramatically.

In order to avoid confusion I reactivated my older user name foldinghomealone (instead of foldinghomealone2).
I apologize for any inconvenience this is causing.
I uploaded an newer version of the google form for HFM exports:

You have my most recent HFM data. There is an older copy of HFM but it's largely Core21 so less valuable.

@HaloJones:
Thanks for your data.
Two small questions:
- Your TitanX means the GTX Titan X (Pascal)
- What HW is your "Nick Slot 01"
I created a database with all the data I have so far:

TitanX is Maxwell not Pascal.

Nick Slot 1 is a GTX970 running off some crappy AMD FX chip. Nick games on it and so the ppd are heavily impacted by frequent pauses to the client. I'd suggest ignoring it unless you can filter to only include undisturbed units (which generally get around 370K-400K)

Ok, I will ignore all Nick WUs with low PPD.

I updated the database.
Any comments on it?
