Re: GPU Memory usage low (1%) volatility high (98%)

Hmm ok. I think I follow. One thing that's still bothering me is that the volatility is a bit too high for my comfort and it seems to be causing a slowdown/blackouts. It could be the joys Nvidia and Ubuntu not playing nice, I'm not sure. I think I'll sooner switch to CPU as I don't seem to have much...

Re: GPU Memory usage low (1%) volatility high (98%)

In response to bruce I'm talking video ram, not my actual ram. I'm also not providing CPU compute, but GPU compute so I'm not sure if your response still applies. Also as an aside, medium and high setting make no difference in memory and volatility usage, it uses the same amount of gpu memory at a v...

GPU Memory usage low (1%) volatility high (98%)

Hi there, I'm new to F@H. I have a 1080 Ti and a 12 core i7 rig. Currently I'm running project 11761 - Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
