Folding Forum

Hi. Is there a reason my multi GPUs won't fold? All are AMD GPUs but they are showing active with no points accumulating.

Plug a couple of cards directly into the motherboard, I'm assuming the motherboard has a couple of x16 slots.

It does. Thank you. I will have to rip the rig apart to get them in there and see what happens.

A few more thoughts. This feels like a mining rig you're trying to repurpose - small cpu, lots of GPUs, x1 PCIe risers for the GPUs? A folding rig is a very different beast from a mining rig. The CPU is constantly moving data to and from the GPUs. It needs bandwidth for the GPUs, x8 recommended, x4...

Short and simple, you're processor is throttling the rest of your system. You need at least a thread/core for each GPU, you have just two and you're trying to fold on the cpu as well. Suggestion:- 1). remove the cpu slot 2). remove/stop three of the AMD GPUs, remove the intel slot. 3). see how the ...

Hello,

Trying to use a multi GPU system since trying to get back into Folding.

GPUs are showing active green circles spinning but no progress.

CPU is showing progress

These are 5500xt and 6600xt. Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
THanks!
