30-50k for the i5 8300h

 

800k-1.4m ppd for the 5700xt but the driver are clearly unstable

 

rx 580 is mostly from 300-500k

 

i7 2600k do like 30-40k i think at 4.5

Nice, looks like it can pump out some points for sure. Yeah the work units have slowed a little, hopefully we will get another batch come through soon.

Going to break 10M points by the end of today :wheee:

Nice well done bud !

[Bastiaan_NL]

So I've got the pair of 5700xt's folding.

An extra heater in the room ?

Decided to let them run for 239902 right away ?

Nice, so you got the rig sorted then ? What was the problem ?

[Bastiaan_NL]

Yes, it's working alright now.

 

A little report:

at first it wasn't going into bios but requested me to select a proper boot device. Pressing a key resulted in a boot loop.

Adding a usb drive would have the same result, so I started pulling hardware and changing things.

Took out a GPU but no change, removed the m.2 ssd after switching the gpu's around a few times (because I thought that was causing the loop) and added an old sata ssd with windows 7.

That worked, but after rebooting once it was going into the boot loop again.

So I installed the m.2 ssd again, and it booted without a problem...

I installed windows 10 and the drivers I needed, but couldn't get the internet bridge between 2 computers running (I didn't have a second 10 meter cable).

After trying for a few hours I gave up and ordered a new cable, that'll be here tomorrow, and stole one from my brothers house today

 

Still some things to sort, like the gpu speed.

I don't like the variable clock speed, it's jumping up and down in a 250mhz range.

Sounds like another PC in the world that needed some random piece of hardware pulled and put back in for it to wake up and smell the coffee lol. Oh ICS can be a PITA sometimes for no real reason. Most of the time I have used it, it has worked just fine. Other times...just no lol. Glad you got it sorted and you have your new cable coming soon.

I have the feeling the PPD could be up a lot if it's just fixed at the max clock.

Will take a look around and see if anyone has a fix for it.

My 5700xt is at 2050-2060mhz stock folding!

Does your clockspeed fluctuate every second or does it stay at a certain clock speed for a longer time?

Fixed clock for virtually any application gives you a better result, Folding will be the same, so if you can adjust the speed/voltage curve so it remains at a fixed speed and voltage, then you are good. Just watch those temps.

For the badges when they do get implimented, what making them start for 10M points, 20M points, 50M points, 100M points, etc.? Those seem like reasonable goals these days and it won't make our profiles look like this after a week

 

 

It has taken me around a month to get to over 10M points with my RTX 2070 though.

Haha !

 

Yeah the award system when its developed will be a much more realistic approach than before as it is very easy to get those numbers unlike before. I remember when 10M was like a good year + in the making. The award system will more than likely come after the Folding Stats Service

Back to folding for 239902!

I might have to wait for newer drivers, maybe that'll fix is somewhat.

I would love to have my signature looking like that ?

 

Back to folding for 239902!

Same here! Lets get some points in ?

 

[Simmons]

Same here!

[Supercrumpet]

I daresay it seems like WUs are coming in normally again. Anyone else seeing the same?

[Bastiaan_NL]

It seems like it! :wheee:

[NavJack27]

Ye, I'm going to be doing a couple units with no overclock and then with a memory overclock and then a core overclock and then both overclocked and see wut does what. then i'll mess with affinity setting. i'll be collecting everything in HFM.NET. should be a fun next couple days. DATA!

 

EDIT: Is the normal thing to just use

client-type beta

max-packet-size big

next-unit-percentage 100 (or 99)?

any other tweaks for the settings?

Definitely a question for our lords and saviors of folding @Simmons & @axipher

I have not played with flags in years !

 

[Bastiaan_NL]

I always use the following flags:

pause-on-start true

Client-type advanced

Next-unit-percentage 100

 

Seems to work for me!

I'm doing a combined 5-6mil ppd at the moment

[Supercrumpet]

Well that's interesting, now my daily use desktop/gaming rig is getting units perfectly fine, but neither my sim rig nor my 24/7 folding are getting units at the moment. Maybe I spoke too soon.

[Andrew]

It's been about the same for me. I'm getting 5-6 WUs a day giving me an actual PPD of around 450K-540K whereas the estimate when I actually have a WU is 1.2-1.3M.
