Hey guys, my eGPU 5600 XT is only able to fold 200-300K PPD, compared to the rumored 600k-800k that I've heard others have been getting
What are the PPDs for any 5600 XT users? I want to check if mine is underperforming comparing to yur guys setups.
My setup's in a TB3 eGPU on a Macbook Pro 16 in.

Re: 5600 XT performance
Welcome to the folding support forum.
Which OS are you using to fold on the GPU? Are you running that OS in a VM or natively on the MacBook Pro as GPU folding is not supported on the macOS.

Native via bootcamp. EGPU drivers were a pain and a half to set up.

No idea about that setup, it's bandwidth and latency. But that might be a limiting factor, many of the openCL kernels run only a few microseconds.

Re: 5600 XT performance
Yes eGPU on TB3 seems to bottleneck a little

Re: 5600 XT performance
TB3 has 40gbps, 40Gbps = 5GB/s
PCIE 3.0 x4 = 8GB/s, which is the minimum you need in Linux for this type of GPU.
You can try installing Linux natively and fold from that. Should have less of a PPD loss.
