Folding Forum

I'm new to this and I have the software running on Full Power. When I open task manager, it's only using 50% of the CPU, though. I read something about changing settings in the slot category, but I couldn't figure it out.

Also, the GPU isn't doing any work. I read that I need to download drivers. I went to the AMD site and downloaded the driver and installed it, but it still doesn't seem to be using GPU.

In Task Manager you will need to select one of the Compute options and possibly CUDA to accurately display your GPU utilization.

GPU-Z is another tool to use, it is easier to see utilization of the GPU's resources.

For you CPU, the utilization can depend on if this is your first WU. There is an installer bug that sometimes sets the client to download a WU to run on just one CPU core. Later WU's will use more depending on how many you have and the setting at the time of the WU request and download.

Ion the meantime, you GPU should eventually get work, it is just that the servers are at their maximum rate of assigning work. More servers are in the works to meet the demand.

Ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye on it.
