How terrible would performance be on a 3.0 slot running at 2 lanes on the PCH?

Woke up this morning to see one of my boxes couldn't grab any WU's with the no WU's available for your configuration error. It finally got a new WU a moment ago.

We entering a shortage?

Update: CPU choice is definitely affecting folding performance. I needed the 13100 out of the first folding box for another project, so I replaced it with a Pentium Gold G7400. The PPD dropped on the 4070 by about 3-4%, which is roughly 300-400k ppd. It's still doing better than the 4070 that's in t...

Hmmm...well, I feel like something odd is going on. Got a 4070 by itself on a 13th gen Intel platform (13100), and then another 4070 along with a 4060 on an 11th gen Intel platform (11400). The 4070 by itself (13th gen platform) tends to run about 750k-1m ppd higher consistently whenever on project ...

Anyone noticed a performance difference in this case?

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

Ah, OK. Don't know what that means, but good to know.

Local store has some in stock now. Haven't been able to find any folding performance reports on any of them, though.

Where I live, about 16 cents per million points, assuming you're running top-tier efficient folding cards.

All this is irrelevant now. AMD fixed the latest driver. Please update the drivers to the latest, and you will see PPD jump double Double of what? 22.7.1 is double of 21.3.1? Is 22.8.2 as good as 22.7.1? Thanks. Every latest driver brings back 20.3.2 levels of performance. There is no extra, no les...

Double of what? 22.7.1 is double of 21.3.1? Is 22.8.2 as good as 22.7.1? Thanks.

How does 22.7.1 compare to 21.3.1? As good or better? Also, is performance still good on the latest 22.8.2?

So the 6800 non-XT is not supported in 21.3.1/2? The release notes say 21.3.1 includes support for RX 6700.

Well, I did the swap and haven't noticed any drop in performance. The motherboard does run the cards in x8/x8. All seems good.

Currently running a 9600K box with 2 RTX GPU's folding. But I'm considering upgrading my mother's PC, which has a Pentium Gold G5400 in it. So if I give her my 9600K, and put the G5400 in the folding machine, would it affect folding performance at all? Note: G5400 is a 2C/4T CPU whereas the 9600K is...
