Folding Forum

System's been running as good as uninterrupted since I started this thread and the yield has roughly been 20% better than under Windows. So for me, case closed as far as the W10 / Ubuntu comparison goes. I have had another thought though that I would like to share with the audience. I've recently go...

Third week of GPU folding alone and not really happy with the results even though it's still significantly better than the 2,000,000 or so average per week under W10 with the CPU and GPU both folding. First week "harvested" 3,362,379 points from 20 WU's, second week 3,058,610 from 16 WU's ...

Because I haven't gotten FAHControl and FAHViewer to work on Ubuntu 20.04 yet I have installed FAHControl on my windows PC. I have literally not touched the Ubuntu PC that is doing the folding since I installed and started the client under Ubuntu and the best thing about it:"it doesn't seem lik...

Thanks for that information. I will leave it running just like it is now for the moment as it looks stable to me. The only thing I plkan to change is to change the preference from Covid to Anything as soon as the pandemic is over. I may investigate how to slim the Ubuntu OS down a bit more and see i...

You can't use these metrics : the depends on the project your are computing. Use FAHControl or HFM, and look at the PPD values. Also, make sure you are comparing values from the same project. Thank you for pointing that out. I am fairly new to the matter, still finding my way. The obvious goal is t...

Preliminary result after one day of folding on GPU only is a bit confusing. I took the log from when the CPU was still folding and computed the average time between completed steps and checkpoints. For the GPU it was 39 min 28 seconds between checkpoints , 7 min 43 seconds between steps (a couple of...

Thanks ! Will do that after the first full week of folding in the new setup so that I have a comparison to W10.

I recently migrated my folding machine from W10 to Ubuntu 20.04. Results in the new setup look promising, it seems like the GPU is folding more / faster than before. Having read a couple of threads on the best GPU to match the Q9450, my conclusion is that the RX480 is actually too powerful for the Q...
