Machine one is a SFF single GPU box
Intel Core I3-2120 @3.30ghz (4 cores)
4 GB System ram
AMD Radeon 7750
Adrenaline 2020 22.6.1
Windows Pro 10 22H2
Here is a screenshot of the graph for box 1
That machine is folding with the CPU and GPU and you can see the GPU usage is rather flat.
Machine 2 is an open air box with a biostar TB 250 + MB
Intel Celeron CPU G3930 @2.9ghz (2 cores)
4GB system ram
AMD Radeon R9 Fury (currently only running one in the 16X slot)
Adrenalin 2020 22.6.1
Windows 10 Home 20H2
Here is the screenshot from box 2 I have paused folding on the CPU but you can see the GPU usage is all over the place
I know it's not all apples to apples as they are working on different projects but I have watched this over the last week, and it has remained like the above screen shots show.
So is this normal?
I had used the 7750 previously on Dnetc but I expected that to just ramp up to 99 or 100% and stay there and I assumed F@H would be different but then when migrating over to folding, I didn't expect the two machines to be that different usage wise.
I wonder:
Am I in need of more system ram on box2 (I will be adding more GPU's)
Is there an issue with the driver? (I did get an error about open_cl when I went to test it on Dnetc)
Is the R9 just faster so it's not being used, Fully, all the time?
is the CPU too slow? (I paused the CPU folding and it seemed to possibly get a slight bit "better")
Both are running on the 16X slot so I wouldn't think it's a Bios issue.
Or maybe this is normal for the type of math being done when folding (as opposed to cracking rc5-72 blocks)
Thanks in advance for any help as I learn and build!
I did want to clarify, both machines are now currently folding projects from F@H so the screen shots are of the GPU usages while folding.
