The only solution here is to get a motherboard with a faster PCIe slot

Hello. Am I the only one who gets such slow simulation on this project? HFM.NET shows 260kPPD only

P.S. I get only 91xx projects with beta key & no 0x21 core. I doubt It's okay.
Yep, amost forgot to add. 1 CPU core of 4 used for GPU folding, 4500MHz. Bus interface is PCI-E x16 2.0 but I reached about 370kPPD on some other projects.

Posted: **Thu Mar 03, 2016 9:31 am**

260k ppd is normal for a 970.

Posted: **Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:54 pm**

It is overclocked to 1499MHz. Maybe the situation is normal for this kind of WUs

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2016 9:27 pm**

For windows you're still within the norms, if you want more PPD then you will need to switch to linux

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2016 8:28 am**

Thank you for advice Nathan. I tried to install Linux Mint 17.2 into VMWare but it did not see my PCI-E GFX. I still don't want to get rid of games so I cannot hold pure Linux on the single machine

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2016 3:59 pm**

I'm not sure about VMWare, but as a general rule, attempting to virtualize a GPU to share it between operating systems WILL FAIL. I suspect that's similar to why Microsoft decided that a GPU cannot be shared between an on-like user (i.e.-the desktop) and a background activity like running FAH as a service -- although that's not a separate OS.

A GPU needs to be dedicated.
