  1. anyone watch AMD performance metrics while folding? I dropped from 8 to 6 threads for CPU folding to see if it would help TPF, and no change. i see GPU % all over the map but power consumption is pretty flat. also i found that to keep my boost clocks i have to stay under 74C or they start dropping. if I keep it under 74C it can walk up to 200W without pulling clocks. the only game that seems to do that is Control.
  2. I would do the EPYC 75F3, 32 core 4GHz. same clocks as my current i7, only way, way better IPC. it would max out the license for ESXi, and stay single socket. only problem for me would be limiting my "real" PC to 8 threads. it just feels wrong. oh, and on the 7003 version of this motherboard, which is conveniently VERY similar to my current P6T-supercomputer board:
  3. "in theory" these should be the same: Version 1.0 x1: 250 MB/s 1.0 x32 =8GB/s (lol) Version 2.0: x1: 500 MB/s 2.0 x16 = 8GB/s Version 3.0 x1: 985 MB/s 3.0 x8 = 7.88GB/s Version 4.0: x1: 1.97 GB/s 4.0 x4 =7.88GB/s but I assume there's other benefits to the multiple lanes than just raw bandwidth (transactional overhead from CPU/GPU)
  4. ESXi for now. my major turnoffs are the 8vCPU limit and with newer versions, the CPU socket/core limits before you have to shell out real money. if it weren't for that I might plan on an EPYC build and just passthrough USB, sound, and GPU. it'd be fun to have a single computer do EVERYTHING.
  5. do you have more numbers? i'd be curious to see PCIe 2.0 x16 vs 3.0 x16. I'm thinking this is a transaction latency thing more than raw bandwidth. also how did you get PCIe Utilization numbers? do you have a thread with all this posted I could look at?
  6. this is actually very helpful. didn't know you you spec them like that. I've had trouble getting f@h to address gpus properly when I mix AMD and nvidia in the same system. and I have a lot of options:
  7. I thought someone went through this way, way back and found that for folding basically a 1x slot was adequate bandwidth - still needs enough CPU time to keep it fed/polled. I'm over here with PCIe 2.0 x16 on switches and i've never noticed any issues gaming or folding. I do notice issues gaming WHILE folding, especially if I forget to pause folding on my gaming GPU...
  8. I was thinking a real VM: i can do streaming gaming via hardware passthrough just fine on AMD GPUs. why not folding?
  9. so is linux folding still worth it? asking for a VM.
