You might want to check out this thread... https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=35286 He's done a bunch of the testing you are in the process of doing, and you should find similar results. Keep in mind that most of his testing was the A7 cpu core IIRC, and many if not most of the A8 core work h...

@Lazvon,

Ahh! While I wasn't able to get my user included, at least I was able the team I'm currently contributing to to display! Woot! Thanks for your help!

Hrmph. Again? Long as the research that needs to be done first it getting done, happy. Just don’t like things sitting around half idle. You include the “img” tag in your Signature in your Profile settings. Can also link it to a page. The image URL you can by right clicking on mine and “open image i...

Talk to you there...

I was looking over the LAR Folding database and noticed that almost all systems are seeing a decline in average PPD (per system) over the last 12 weeks. I wish I could get a daily system average summary for the Folding@Home for the last couple years to see if there is actually a drop in PPD per syst...

@Lazvon Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. I find it interesting that you are having a problem with largely varying PPD. I have a 3950x and 1080 Ti and I'm currently averaging 1.4M-2.2M PPD (CPU and GPU). I used to average 2.4-3.3M PPD last summer. I've found that my PPD have been declining over th...

The PPD is based on using a Passkey Bonus. Overall I think that site has done a good job of the data accumulation and the variances over time with work units PPD variances, current software versions, etc. It's a great resource for many people and now includes cost/point information for us. Thanks f...

This might have already been posted in this thread, but I've found it to be the most helpful "Hardware PPD list" (GPUs only): https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/overall_ranks Also, I have to wonder if this list considers the Passkey bonus by netting it out or if it is based on the PPD WIT...

Hey! Sorry, it's been awhile, but things have been busy, but I thought I'd drop in to respond to the recent replies. As for the system itself, it's been perfectly stable for the last 2-3 months. No crashes, etc, that would indicate slowly failing hardware (CPU, GPU, or memory). I have a 1000w PS, so...

And now it just dropped down to about 250K PPD on the CPU and about 2.0M PPD on the GPU.

UGH!

Ok, this is just nuts. After taking the hit at 18 cores on the CPU, I changed it back to 14 cores (still -1 on the GPU). Now my CPU is reporting 1.4M PPD on the CPU, with an appropriate finishing time. My GPU has cut back a bit (1.9-2.0M PPD), but my combined is currently being reported at ~3.4M PPD...

Hey Everyone! Thanks for all of the replies! I'm sure that there are a number of reasons for the problem, but I feel I need to reiterate one point: I previously got CPU performance of ~425K PPD and 2.4-2.8M PPD (CPU and GPU, respectively) and up to 3.1M PPD combined, UNTIL about a year ago when the ...

Thanks for the replies! However, most of your suggestions won't address my issue. For one, I can't change to another OS and REALLY don't want to do a clean install as it'll probably take me the better part of a week's worth of time to make sure I have all my data/apps backed up AND get everything se...

OK, this is WEIRD! Just for grins, I changed the number of CPU cores from 15 down to 10 and now, with only "~35%" of my CPU working, I'm getting about 425K PPD out of my CPU, with no change on my GPU. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?!? Thanks. Scott PS. I'd upload a screenshot, ...
