PPD?

Totally new to this so be kind

cpu showing around 20K ppd but gpu only 1600 each?

Is something wrong or is that the way it should be?

Expected the gpus to be doing more than cpu or is it project dependent?

If thats the case then is there a way to just fold using cpu as the gpus use a lot more power but are not worth it really cost wise?

Cheers

edit: running windows 10 and 14.9 drivers

Ok cheers

Will let it run a while and see.

Was just that it was showing 10 days to complete what it was doing for each gpu but cpu was showing 15 hours?

both gpus working flat out.

Both showing up in the slots part

edit: paused cpu folding and just using gpus and making no difference so far.....work unit for each card is worth 17k but 10 days to complete...percentage marker moving up very very slowly...

Spec as in sig and project 1300 for gpu 6095 for cpu

edit: fahcore_17.exe showing up in task manager for the gpus i guess ( as theres 2 of them) each using 12% of my cpu total.

cheers guys...PPD going up a fair bit now...cards showing age though...not as high as expected yet but not done enough WUs yet.

Wife appreciating the flow of heat from my work room too

Prob better value for money than stupid storage heaters

ppd gone up quite a bit but only getting around 50K...20k from cpu and 15k from each card
15 units done now.

Have tried dropping cores down to see if that helps to give gpus more but it doesnt.

Going by previous comment should i not be expecting around 100K a day with 2 cards and cpu running?

Could be a driver issue i guess but reluctant to try older one as would probably have problems with xfire and cod:aw.

2nd rig doing 20k a day from just an i5 (@4.5GHz) as no decent gpu in there.

mmm seems 15k is normal for a 6970 from what i read

Not worth running the pair of them flat out for 30K when i can get 26K from cpu alone and use a fraction of the juice and 20k out of 2nd rig.

Saw someone mention on a forum of a 7970 doing 100k+..big jump up,

A pair of 970s would be nice but hanging on till end of next year before major gpu upgrade (and 4k monitor i hope) as only play cod and what i have is adequate for that just now still although at medium settings of course as at 1440p

Up at 60k a day now as gpus doing 20k each...better but more would be nice...

ahh just realised i changed gpu driver last night for cod:aw do thats why the extra 5k per card.

Maybe an older driver would suit them better but cant be doing that
