PPD slowly building on F@H

[mx500torid]

Got a new card. 5070Ti. Started folding to break it in. On Win 10 591 drivers ppd started at 13m slowly worked up to a high of 19m but only on 1 wu. Normal daily averaged 16.5. It was doing a little better than what it showed on Lar"s site. I decided to try it on Ubuntu 24.04 same stock settings. Ubuntu started at 14m up to a high of 20m. That 20 came after a long run of 18m wus. Ubuntu is using the 580 drivers. What have you guys noticed? Anyway happy with the 5070Ti.

Below is the average since September on my machine with a 5070 Ti. Running Windows since that's primarily a gaming machine. It's waterblocked on a MO-RA3, so it probably stays boosted a bit higher. Your results are within the range of what I'd expect. They are great cards.

How many watts are we talking for that 5070 Ti? Seems like a folding monster!

[mx500torid]

Its bouncing between 237 - 281 watts but that  is default. Since I am fairly new to linux gonna see how to lower the power usage. On windows I had it set on 230 watts and oced to over 3000 but ppd was lower than linux. Once it ramped up I had 1 wu that was over 24m but now it settling in at high 19 to lower 20s constantly.

I use LACT to lower power consumption on most of my Linux machines.

Wish there was a Linux version of Afterburner since I like setting an undervolt curve vs just capping power limit. 

 

Pretty much all RTX 40 and 50 series are really efficient for folding and respond well to undervolt or power limiting.

I will try that looks interesting. Thank you. I tried 

$ sudo nvidia-smi -pl 

but power limit would just go down to 250. PPD started falling so I went back to default. I may have not given it enough time. I did notice that boost clock speeds are about 100 less than windows, but better ppd. I wished the new client would show just the credit for the wu like the old client so all I have for reference is the ppd numbers.
