Folding Forum

I noticed the P1049x ones take up more power and resources to fold, hence constantly causing the GPU to hit both Power and Vrel caps and reflecting a less consistent performance as compared to P941x tasks, which I see put less GPU load and allow the GPU to hit a higher and more consistent clock with...

Just got myself a mini-ITX sized GTX1070 from Gigabyte a few days ago. Ran it for a day at its stock settings and noticed the PPD to be around 540K to 575K for various Core 21 projects. So I tried a modest stable overclock on GPU clock and MEM clock and PPD went up to ~615-630+K. However, from GPU-Z...

I hit the absolute ceiling for my GTX1060 3GB (if it's below 65degC and hits 1900Mhz) at about 285k PPD. I think that's as high as it'd go on my "ancient" motherboard with PCIe 1.1 x16. If I can recoup the power cost and even make a profit from merged folding, I think it'd be a good bet to...

Here's your MB I know, just that they didn't state the PCIe gen on there. I got my PCIe 1.1 x16 info as GPU-Z. NGBRO, Your x16 1.1 has 8 times the throughput of my x1 2.0 so I think it should do just fine with a 1060. Give it time to work on several WUs. BTW, Look at Processes in the Task Manager a...

Yeah, only used 20-30% CPU while chugging with only the GPU.

I got it off someone else 2nd-hand. It's a HP Napa-GL8E. Got a C2Q Q9400 in it and 4GB of DDR2.

Yes. One way to speed it up is using Linux instead of Windows as the nvidia driver there has less pcie bandwidth usage. As you wrote about thermal throttling, putting a case fan next to the GPU to help spread the heat, may increase the GPU clock. If the heat problem is solved you can overclock the ...

There's some pretty WUs running now, maybe you caught one of those. x16 1.0 ~ x8 2.0 ~ x4 3.0 so you may be taking a bite out of your 1060 PPD. I've got a rig with four 1060 6GB cards at x16 2.0, x8 2.0, x8 2.0 & x1 2.0. PPD ranges: 348477, 331888, 266147 and 206888. So 1.1 x16 is about the sam...

I recently got a GTX 1060 Mini 3GB to try folding full-time. I installed in a slapped-together system with a Q9400 and I see that the GPU is running at PCIe 1.1 x16, which seems to be the max supported by the mobo and CPU. Bearing in mind that GTX 1060 is PCIe 3.0. My PPD seems to be hovering around...

Sorry to jump in here, but just to clarify - you have your monitor connected to the iGPU MB port and you have assigned the FAH GPU core to the GTX to i-mode, correct? Sorry for the late reply. Yes that's right. But I have long since went back to running just the GTX670 as Lucid tends to switch betw...

Thanks I got it working on i-Mode and it detected and folds on the 670 with no problems at all. Noticed the TPF is a couple seconds slower than normal but I believe that's due to transfer of framebuffer from the GTX670 to IGP. Now I can surf the web and watch videos on Youtube with no stutters!

Hi guys, I am kind of new to folding and am unsure of how to set up GPU folding while running Lucid MVP. What I am thinking of setting up is to run everything other than folding with the Intel IGP of my processor (i5-3570) and fold with my GTX670 (not tied down by everything else) using Lucid MVP si...
