can you please post part of the log files where the completion is mentioned; there where cases recently with another project where the total steps to complete a WU got wrong.
Ideally you can find in your log a WU from the impacted project which run well (and post few completion log lines) and find a WU with longer completions time (please post in all case the full Project-Run-Clone-Gen information)
Any update? I keep getting these and they are killing my PPD.

Wonder what motherboard you have, what CPU and if your 3rd card get enough data through the PCIe lanes. Can you please share the first 100 lines of your logfile with system info and actual config ? Also what driver version from nV.
A 9802 on my 980ti took 4m21s TPF resulting in 571k PPD; not exciting either compare to the 700k I nor all get.
So I think we have partially a problem with capacity of your MB/card combination but also "unlucky" benchmarking of this early projects for faster GPUs (happen from time to time).

Thank you for taking time to look at this, I really appreciate it.
These are occurring randomly across my 3 GPUs. The only thing the projects have in common is that they are 92xx and all run by Jade SHi. Right now two of my three work queues are these. So I have one project earning 837K and two earning 438K and 466K PPD. When I have three projects that aren't these the PPD is typically around 800K each but that seldom happens since I'm getting so many of these Jade SHi ones.
You may be completely right but then why do I occassionally get three projects at once that I get 2.4M PPD?

I guess the definitive test is to remove one of the GPUs and see how the remaining two do. I have one set to finish now.

With around 1/2 to two minutes per fold. In the last couple of days I have noticed 3 WUs in the 92xx range, 9210, 9212, and 9208. All run by Jade SHi. These all run significantly longer, give about half the PPD, and have TPFs of 5 to 7 minutes. Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone.
WUs which generate lower PPDs are a legitimate problem (addressed in your other topic on the same issue) but ...

You didn't report anything that was "extremely unstable" or that "keeps re-starting" and those are quite different issues than what you might call "taking forever"

I can't argue with that.
