Folding Forum

On p18245 I'm usually getting around 21 secs TPF. All of a sudden I have this WU (RCG 18215,2,0) that has a TPF of 1m 57s... GPU is barely loaded. Not sure what's going on.

Thanks.

Your GPU might have popped into power saving mode

I don't think so. GPU boosts to max freq and hits VRel, GPU load is at max, it's just that the power usage stays super low... The previous WU was at 46,517,776 PPD, this one is at 2,754,802.

[Yeah, something wrong with that WU, picked up another one and all is as expected].

Asking questions now

Two more offenders (which I processed in 3 hours each, to the detriment of other better-behaving WUs :

18205,2,1
18217,0,1

The same is happening here with:

18273,2,0
18203,2,2


TPF from 60 to 135 sec.

Hi, can you post the WU numbers which are folding fine. (18245 series only)

For me, fine wus have been (for instance):

2848,2,10
16186,2,9
...

The differences are in TPF (from 60 to 135 sec) and so in PPDs (from 9.5M to 2.8M) and in Watts (from 175-180 to 90). Interestingly enough my poor 5060ti performs on pair with a 5090 with the slow wus...

Here are a few WUs that are OK:

3339,2,10
11527,2,9
1512,2,10
9556,2,9
6360,2,9
3767,2,9

Thanks, the offenders have been pulled. Let us know if you still receive some slow one of this series
