Folding Forum

I recently downgraded my driver for my 680 from 340.xx to 327.23 because I'm sick of seeing my screen lag when I'm folding. I noticed my PPD went from 25k-45k to 100k to 130k PPD. What's going on? Are the later drivers that bad?

I just bought a GTX 680 to fold. I tried overclocking with MSI afterburner, but it seems like when I overclock, F@H becomes much slower. On stock, my whole computer uses 195W from the wall. When I overclock and fold, it only uses 143W. If I run furmark, I can see the gains from overclocking, so I'm ...

Is there a way to make F@H GPU to only use say like 50% of my GPU's capability? I'm asking because after 1 year of torture from F@H GPU and CPU, maxing the CPU and GPU usage for 16 hours a day for a year, my power supply and motherboard died. It was on a Friday, which sucks because technicians don't...

We could have a progress meter for the total number of projects and the number of projects completed.

F@H has all kinds of statistics, I thought this might be something nice to have. A progress meter. It can show out of 100% how much work we finished so far in 6 years, the estimated time to finish all of the work at the pace right now, and etc. I think that might be a fun statistics to have. We can ...

How come the client stats dropped by a full petaflop today? The Nvidia GPUs were significantly lower? Anyone know why this is happening?

How often does the client page updates? We got from 3 petaflop to 4 petaflop in 1 month! I hope we can keep this up! I'm madly folding right now as I got 2 computers (one P4 2.8GHz, one with Q6600 and 8800GT folding). I hope more and more people with GPUs can contribute. BTW, sorry to whoever makes ...

How come it is unlimited?

At this rate of speed increase, about how long will it take to finish all the work?

I saw on the stats page that F@H has hit 4 petaflops. What does that exactly mean? Does that mean F@H has completed that many flops? Or does that mean it has 4 petaflops of computation ability every (day, minute, second?)

My mistake. The CPU is actually doing 500000 steps instead of 500. My CPU work has 1258 atoms and my GPU work has 576 atoms. My GPU is doing 25000000 steps.

How do you get a 4 million steps job? My CPU only gets 500 each time and 25000 each time for a GPU. How do I check how many atoms are there?

It takes 3-4 minutes to complete 500 foldings on my 8800GT while it takes 12 hours to do the same amount of folding on my Q6600. How come we can only utilize the great power of the GPU on a few things?

I use a 8800GT and Q6600 to run F@H. I know that GPU was much faster than CPU but my 8800GT did the same amount of work in 3-4 minutes compared to what it takes about 12 hours to do on a Q6600 (smp 4 cores). Is F@H more optimized for GPU (or vice versa) or is CPU's computational power is miniscule c...

Does F@H ever run out of work?
