Folding Forum

Well, I reluctantly had to upgrade because my v7 client was unable to get any WU's. So now I am running v8.

I used to like to be able to set things per folding slot; i.e. run GPU but not CPU, or finish GPU but keep CPU ready. Is there a way to do this in the v8 client? So far I haven't found it. Best I can do is set both to finish, or set to CPU only, or reduce CPU cores used.

I also really miss having an "Advanced Control" GUI so I could dedicate all resources to folding without sparing some for the web browser (which are notoriously resource hungry these days), but that's a whole other feature request

Others can answer your questions about finer control in v8, as I only currently run CPU projects on my Macs it is not an issue I have dealt with.

But I will note, you do not need to keep the web browser open. The client runs just fine without the Web Control active. Personally I only open it when I want to make a change in settings or pause work while doing a software upgrade.

You want resource groups described under Advanced.

Yes, v8 has Resource Groups, which are equivalent to Slots of v7
