Ok gerbils, I hope that subject helps explain what am facing.
I am using the SMP client on the FAH GPU Tracker v2 to track folding and have received Project 7200 (484 points) (thrice now). In the tracker, the PPD shows me a range between 1800-2500, but the actual work unit takes around 18 hrs to complete. Based on that, doesn't seem like am anywhere close to 2000 ppd. I've even stopped the GPU client for a few days now, as it was slowing down the CPU work unit even further.
(screenshot below)
I have an E8400 (till Ivy Bridge is out) and the rest of my system specs are in my signature.
Questions
1. First, am I looking at this right, or am I totally miscalculating ppd?
2. Is the performance too low for this processor. I have seen higher numbers quoted.
3. If yes and yes, what am I doing wrong.
Not that the actual numbers matter, but it would help to know whether my system is being utilized well.
