Re: How to lower F@H use of GPU?

Post by Amaruk »

My previous slider test with the Systray client was with Project: 5778 (Run 15, Clone 419, Gen 5)


0 - 15% completion for baseline. 4308.78 PPD at 64C


Set CPU usage to 75% and ran from 15 until 30% complete. 3706.99 PPD at 61C


Set CPU usage to 50% and ran from 30 until 45% complete. 2719.48 PPD at 60C


Set CPU usage to 25% and ran from 45 until 60% complete. 1663.04 PPD at 56C



At 25% the PPD is 1663.04, which is 38.59% of 4308.78

At 50% the PPD is 2719.48, which is 63.11% of 4308.78

At 75% the PPD is 3706.99, which is 86.03% of 4308.78
