Folding Forum

Well I'm using the fglrx drivers, which are from AMD, so that's not the problem.
The open source drivers don't have opencl support, so they won't work that's for sure.
Should I maybe create a new post as this issue seems to be distro independent?

I'm testing if using Linux Mint helps, and it seems to be the same problem.
Using the fglrx drivers, making sure I put in my passkey and all. Same problem, very low PPD, FAHcore cpu usage 350% and GPU usage below 20%.
Seems like this is a distro independent problem.

Isn't nouveau for Nvidia? I'm using an AMD R9 208x, not an Nvidia.

I'm using the closed source catalyst drivers, I have to for opencl support as far as I know.

I was using KSysGuard to view the usage, and on that 100% is all of the cores.
When I use top, FahCore_17, the core that's being used for GPU folding, is using 350%, and the 4 cores of my CPU are running between 86% and 91% if not all 4 cores at 100%

I've got a quad core CPU. Normally, I'm just using my browser or folding with 3 threads. But what is weird is that the WU was using 100% of all 4 cores even when I made sure nothing else was running, and my GPU was still very close to idling (never going over 20%when it's supposed to be folding)

Seems like that was some false alert, I've started to fold a new WU and according to aticonfig, my GPU usages i back to bellow 20%. The WU is very slowly progressing but much to slowly. When it was working the usage was as expected 100%. What is even wierder, is that when I check my CPU usage, the F...

The other thing that might have fixed it was simply re-installing the system.

I had an unrelated problem on Kubuntu which made me have to switch back, sorry about that. However, I've now managed to get my GPU to fold correctly, I would tell you how I did that, but I do not know. The only thing I really did differently was download the opencl-headers package which i don't thin...

It seems that my issue isn't actually related to the distro, as I'm now using Kubuntu and it seems that the same problem is happening.

Other WU are just as slow.

I let my GPU fold for a few hours and I got a new error: 23:37:39:WU01:FS01:Started FahCore on PID 8059 23:37:39:WU01:FS01:Core PID:8063 23:37:39:WU01:FS01:FahCore 0x21 started 23:37:39:WU01:FS01:0x21:*********************** Log Started 2015-08-24T23:37:39Z *********************** 23:37:39:WU01:FS01...

Well I had actually removed CPU slot as I didn't really want to fold with it. I've enabled it now, but it dosen't seem like is making any diffrence, and actually at this rate, the WU for my CPU is going to complete faster than my GPU. And I might be wrong, but it seems like the PPD for my CPU is low...

Re-installing the system did not work, the only diffrence now is my PPD is 2099, which might be simply because of it running a diffrent WU

I've been trying to fold with my AMD R9 280X, but I only end up getting 1677 which I way lower that the 100K I'm used to from when I was folding on Windows. I did let it run overnight and the PPD did not increase after 11h. The card did not seem to warm like it normally would. There isn't wasn't any...
