    CPU + GPU Folding?

    Alright, brought my home machine online (Ryzen 5 2600). On the GPU front, I'm still running my now venerable R9 Fury X.

    Question. Does the [email protected] client still support CPU + GPU folding? Right now, the default cfg enabled the CPU client alone. Can I also enable GPU folding, and would it even be worth it on this GPU.

    Thanks.

    Well now. [email protected] has taken much of the fun out of this by, you know, making things just work? Half the fun was the required tinkering and duct tape to make the thing run lol.



    So yeah, looks like the client automagically detected both CPU & GPU configs, and both are [email protected].

    Fold on!

      Haha if you are looking for challenge you'll want to try running FAH on linux.

      I retired my FX8350 from folding once I started getting trounced by Intel i3 procs. R9 Fury X is still quite respectable it's what I'm using as well.

      I wonder how much of an improvement your Ryzen will provide your Fury's TPF & PPD ? Well once the wu's start flowing again.

        Woo.. I have its younger, bigger brother folding. :-p



        Nets me about 950,000ppd when its running a WU. 1.1mil ppd if I run everything CPU+GPU.

              I'm finding that I'm getting more work units done more quickly by pausing the CPU client (it's an FX-8350, so it wasn't adding much anyway) and letting my two GPUs do the heavy lifting. I'm guessing that even though the client was only using 4 of the 8 cores for folding, it still couldn't keep the GPUs fed.

                Yeah I have the same cpu. Out of curiosity I enabled it on a 14588 wu it's TPF average is 12.41 minutes, 24 hours to complete 1 wu. Deleting the cpu slot once it's finished.

                  i haven't been folding since I just tried it years ago...but since COVID-19 outbreak...so I'd considering to donate my power by run folding on my rig. I have 1700X and a RX Vega 56 with OC/UV And yes, I do have dual boot- windows 10 and Ubuntu MATE 19.10 x64.

                  I also still have a R9 Fury. I might think add it to my rig since I replaced my old case with a new case so which makes it possible for a R9 Fury to fit in since there is a huge room and plus my PSU is 1000W so I'll suppose it should handles no problem.

                  Any thought about how to set up R9 Fury/RX Vega 56 and 1700X?

                    The [email protected] installer should make it fairly easy. I would suggest if you let your CPU fold, limiting it to 8 threads only. That will help make sure both GPUs have enough CPU cycles to fold at their peak.

                      Mein V2 is crunching...

                      I have to keep the CPU folding offline it seems, or it starves the V2 for data.

                        Well, my main system seems to be back on track. If all systems got work I estimate 5-6 million ppd...might be wishful thinking, but I can hope.

                        Being out in eastern OR the number of confirmed cases increased from 1 to 3 yesterday, not bad but I'll be happy when the curve flattens 'everywhere'...

                          Just noticed we have the same card.

                          I get 1.1M - 1.25M PPD with the V64 GPU typically and about 70k - 100k PPD from the 2700X CPU.

                          I typically run it at default (MSI Air Boost) clock speeds so it's strange that mine churns out 20% more points. Drivers?
