Re: Folding Billinaire Now getting 15% PPD Tried Everything

I am going to sneak out on a limb and assume the two RTX2070s was last thing you did before it all went sideways after removing them? Have you tried setting the BIOS to default and checking the setting that enables the new hardware check on every cold restart? It is usually some non-intuitive choic...

Re: Folding Billinaire Now getting 15% PPD Tried Everything

Thanks for responding. I let it run for nearly 2 weeks producing low points. I unistalled and re-installed the client 3 times removing data and changing the Team Individual name (not the team) . I also reverted back to a known working nvidia driver. In the past these all produced success but it is n...

Your client updated on the "slow" machine is my bet... Thanks for responding. I edited my overview to add that the Dell workstation is actually the slower setup as it only has a second gen i7. and yet it is now signifigantly outperforming the skyle i7 based Y900. It must be a software iss...

Thanks for all of your responses. The Dell I was using was an XPS 8700 with Haswell I7 4790 .. 4C/8T I have sold that one but kept the older one as a streaming machine.. That one ran the same FC5 at about 30% slower... A total slide show. SO the i7 Haswell was "poorly playable" but the i5 ...

Re: Two Graphics Cards NOT in Sli RE Folding

Generally speaking, SLI/Crossfire is not used in folding or other distributed compute projects at all. The reason is that the GPUs don't interact with each other at all. GPU 1 is off doing one workload, while GPU 2 is doing a completely different workload (or at a minimum, a different work unit in ...
