Thanks again for the update

WU points are a mixed bag lately and doesn't help some of us had issues with our GPUs returning half the normal points. For example:
- 5th Sept. 2015 - 423,457 points - 18 WUs
vs
- 8th Sept. 2015 - 205,817 points - 14 WUs

I'm very lucky if I now make hourly production over 100k (closest was 95k), Rob just about got over 100k a couple of times recently. Did anyone else without GPU problems notice a similar drop?

So you know, I'm not taking this too seriously and any drops are out of my control

Compared to the last update I'll take the increase in PPD so long as it stays around 300k. Reminds me of BT; awaiting a normal line profile to kick in after some fluctuation

You can certainly tell when I'm back at sea -1,370,909

ozaudio · 10 Sep 2015 at 15:36

yep well col im sure when your back home you have the hardware to dominate us all lol

divebod · 10 Sep 2015 at 21:07

Thanks for the news.

I have a week to get it running then I have to go to Spain for a week !! Just can't catch a break having to go places on my time off

Maybe I'll sneek something into the attic and leave it running

ozaudio · 11 Sep 2015 at 19:40

Ye col just hide the thing and let it chug away lol

still not happy with my 970 , I did remove my cpu slot and it helped but the PPD is still low. jumper what cores are you getting on yours 970s? your out doing me by quite abit daily I know I only have 1 970 but I also have the 280x & 290

colinmcr · 12 Sep 2015 at 16:31

My 970s have been low recently also btw, just over 200k some days

i am getting core 0x18 all the time, i never get 0x21. i'm getting 280KPPD per gpu atm on project 10471 and 10487. i get between 240-300K PPD on core 0x18. you can tell which days i overclock on because my PPD usually drops like a stone. i'll be testing a HD6950 i got from the MM at some point next week so that will take a few hours out.

ozaudio · 12 Sep 2015 at 18:02

so your saying when you overclock you get LESS PPD than standard? or am I reading it incorrectly?

WTF - LOL ive just hit " default " on evga X and my ppd is going up , seems to of stopped at 246k ppd.

Biffa · 13 Sep 2015 at 01:25

Cheers for the news.

Yeah I found that to avoid clocks thermal throttling - important for Folding to ensure no errors/penalties - you had to run it stock for higher PPD, makes sense when running for hours/days at a time for 100% stability.

Checked mine for the previous 24 hours and current record for me is 736,328 PPD (core 18's) that would put me second in the current table or currently above the mighty Biffa right now that has 724,574 PPD.

Can't maintain this rate with my single PC without running dedicated setups like others and don't worry about needing to ramp it up

A few times I hit very near 200K Hourly and today nearly 210K. My dips are 100K but I can take that, before I was struggling to hit that.

currob · 13 Sep 2015 at 08:48

My ppd have been dropping slowly day by day on the 780ti with the memory clock error, now at 194k on 0x18. The energy meter is also showing a drop in power use, was 300-320w and now around 270-285w. Still showing 0mhz memory clock

If the ppd gets lower I'll take the risk with the Gigabyte repair option.

I checked the log and had 4 0x21 over 3 days and each one failed, the x18 ones run the course.

Got problems with my 980ti being unstable when gaming now too, have to lower the stock clock to make it stable, got a thread open in graphics section, beginning to think I'm jinxed with vga cards atm

erm. i didn't explain that very well at all. when i'm benching other hardware is what i meant. (eg i take my 970's out of my rig and run some benchmarks on a gtx480) my 970's aren't folding when they aren't in the pc, so my PPD drops. I have tested overclocking the cards while folding and i usually run them at ~1450mhz, because even though they are stable at 1520mhz i dont get any more PPD for some reason. They run about 1380-1400mhz at stock with gpu boost 2.0.

ozaudio · 13 Sep 2015 at 11:49

Me thinks 2 x 980s would do a better job than the 3 cards I have now

The Boke · 13 Sep 2015 at 20:34

Does anyone know what sort of a machine Biffa is using?

ozaudio · 13 Sep 2015 at 21:51

I always imagined he had something like a Borg Cube wired straight into the national grid

Ditto my system keeps crashing. Have taken cpu overclock off followed by gpu but still keeps crashing. Think it may actually be a driver issue because it's only been crashing last few weeks.
