You can also "convert" your points into cryptocurrency, for example https://curecoin.net/

That's really impressive. My 1080Ti maxes out at 1.5M ppd.

Re: 7im

7im has helped me so much over the years with folding. Last, he helped me get my 1080Ti working on a Linux box after I had been wasting so much time trying to figure out why it wasn't. I'm sure many others have the same experience. This just feels unreal, and is a massive loss to the community. Rest...

Re: The GTX 1080 TI pulls 952k PPD!

Up to 1.3M ppm average with an Evga SC2 Hybrid Gaming without extra OC. Wow.

Re: The GTX 1080 TI pulls 952k PPD!

Indeed. I got my 1080Ti yesterday and it is an absolute monster. Up to about 1.1M PPD from the previous 300k with my 970. Power usage is not too much higher either. I actually think it could pull even more - monitoring with Afterburner shows "just" 85-90% of the GPU being used at any given...

Are these projects now officially dead? Are there any other ongoing ones which seek to improve FaH performance?

Re: Working around poor display performance when folding

Thanks for the input so far - I am still running software rendered Cinnamon, and it is working beautifully. PPD sits comfortably at 110k, and the only lag issues I have had so far is light hackiness in the browser and YT videos, but everything else works perfectly.

Re: Working around poor display performance when folding

Yes, my mistake. Not sure where I got that from.

Currently I have found a reasonable workaround by using software-rendered Cinnamon as my DE. No tearing for now - will see if it stays that way.

Working around poor display performance when folding

I am folding on a Fedora 20 box, with a GTX770 running on the 319.76 drivers. I did expect display performance to take a hit while folding and working at the same time, but it has become all but unworkable. The Xorg process shoots to 100% on the most minute screen updates (scrolling etc), and overal...

Re: Pausing mitigates TDR bug?

I have not used the pause trick for at least 48 hours, and the folding process continues without error. There appear to be no traces of the bug at all. I wish I could determine exactly how I got to this stage for the benefit of other Linux GPU folders, but the only major change I can recall doing wa...

Re: Pausing mitigates TDR bug?

7im - I can't identify with either of the cases you mentioned. The driver version is 319.76, and I have had the TDR issue with it earlier: [christopher@chrisdesktop ~]$ nvidia-smi Fri Jul 18 07:44:01 2014 +------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 5.319.76 Driver Version: ...

Re: Pausing mitigates TDR bug?

Understood, could it have something to do with my OS then? I am far past the 36-hour cutoff, and there have been no broken WU:s, no crashes, or any other symptoms of the bug at all.

Pausing mitigates TDR bug?

I fold on a GTX770, using the 319.76 Linux drivers on a Fedora 20 box. While I was previously rebooting every 36 hours to avoid the TDR bug, I have noticed that pausing the folding seems to have the same effect. Letting the card rest for 5-10 minutes between each WU, I am now approaching 72 hours of...

Re: GTX770, Linux - < 50% utilization

I see, thanks. My card has been chewing another 9406 for a bit now, and the difference is already enormous - TPF has dropped by well over 50% (approx 9-10 minutes with 331 drivers down to around 4 min with 319). I guess it is safe to conclude that PPD will shoot up dramatically as well. EDIT: a litt...

Re: GTX770, Linux - < 50% utilization

Out of interest, is there any significant difference between the 319 and 325 driver(s) when it comes to performance? Currently, I have installed 319.76, would I be better off going with 325.15 instead?
