I tried the FAHBench app, although not really sure what to make of the results. I got 180 on single precision and 25 on double precision. Tried comparing it to a 4060Ti, where I got 192 on single precision and 15 on double precision. But if we're not expecting the Arc to fold near as well as the 4060, then I guess those scores can't accurately predict things.

Also, once the GPUs.txt/gpus.json files are updated, will the client automatically download the new version and start folding, or will it need to be manually restarted?

B580 will not fold same as 4060

here is preliminary results:
p12704 (109k Atoms) - TPF (lower is better)
Radeon VII - 46s
7900xtx - 20s
gtx1070 - 60s
gtx980 - 1m 23s
Intel Arc B580 - 44-45s
3070Ti - 27s
4060 - 31s

It will need to be restarted for client to retry the gpus.txt update.
It is Sunday, so dev is not looking at the computer screen to fix the issue

So I'm guessing maybe 2-2.5m ppd looking at that?

Welp, I'm excited in any case. Seems everyone is confident it's gonna work eventually

Yes it will. Well, it is already, just not on fahclient You should be able to go back to v7 too, that will work as well

I'll wait and see how it does on v8. My other boxes are still on v7, but can't hurt to give v8 some more time on the Arc box and see how it goes.

Does it work by default setting now? My B580 is in coming

Yes, some projects generate 2.8m PPD
Minimum is set to 1.5m PPD
