finally back to the top 100

That I am. But the heat in the basement was nearly unbearable yesterday. New rule is no folding during the day until the day's high is lower than 65F.
 
Sorry for the ragged ppd as of late but it was worth it. Finally have F@H up and running on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS & Rocm.
There is a cool program called CoreCtrl works well it has a compute profile thats working fine with the 7900XTX.
Can't wait to see how many wu's this rig can knock out best I had on Win 11 was 28 in a day.

AAAnd the moment you realize that despite filling in the user name team and passkey you forgot to uncheck that tiny little box in the 8.18 beta so you were still folding anon for the last 7+ hours.:cry:

Grats on cracking 20k wu's turned in luxor ! :up: Iron321 isn't far behind.
All 3 of us finally passed Oscar1613 to get into the top 50 total Wu's for the team.
 
U fortunately the weather has been warm so I shut fown my folding activities. Congrats to
DarkFoss to catching back up to me and screaming by during my pause. :)
 

Those stats?

Just found out the reason. Had an old Netgear USB Wifi. Switched to that. And for some reason it kept disconnecting and reconnecting randomly. Apparently there is an issue with that model.
 
The new FAH client is garbage. I like that it connects all of the machines running FAH but I have no need for that. There's no ability to pause after finishing a WU, only pause/play, forcing me to leave points on the table. :cry:
 
Tried to edit the above post but I don't see a way to edit. Maybe today just isn't my day. Anyway, I resolved that I would pause a new WU then dump it in lieu of the previous "finish then pause" feature being removed. I went to pause it just now, and then I get this:

Crisis averted. Now I know.

Welcome back Crawdaddy79! Just saw that your client was active again!
 
For anyone curious, 9950X3D (no PBO) gets about 3M PPD. Folding is the only thing that has caused it to break 80C using the Noctua DS-15 mega-heatsink/fans. It is reasonably loud, and seems to have stabilized at 82.5C.

In contrast, the 9070 XT is getting about 6M PPD (my last card, the 3080 got about 8M PPD). The GPU usage hovers around 82% so there's clearly a driver gap that could be closed in the future.
 
EDIT (adding new post because I'm not allowed to edit): Seems that different projects will run at different efficiencies. Got one from 18244 and it's hitting 7.8M PPD. Previous ones were from 12703.
 
Numbers look good on your new comp,Grats! :)

Just wait until AMD's big announcement in June. I'm pretty much expecting the new Hip code to improve F@H performance rather dramatically. From the numbers I've seen your card will hit 4080 TPF roughly. Opencl will soon be a thing of the past as far as F@H is concerned.

Stupid permission errors with the client kept me from folding under linux, plus I was waiting for official support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Numbers look good except for 2 projects 18251 and 18238 both core 24. All other core 24 projects have a TPF of around 1.30 or less.
Meaning they complete in 2 hours or less.

Something in the (18251 and 18238) way were compiled must be triggering a fall back somewhere those 2 have a TPF of somewhere between 3.04 to 3.48. I unfortunately got 3 back to back to back. Almost 16 hours to complete 3 WU's that shouild nornally have taken 6 according to the numbers at lars.sys database. Complete PPD killer
This is with the latest Rocm 6.3.4. I think I may try the 6.3.3 rocm and see if the TPF returns to normal on those 2 projects.Not sure if it would be worth reporting if so this close to the big release I'm sure all relevant eyes are working at ironing out wrinkles.
 
And AMD just released Rocm 6.4 already upgraded just got a new Core 26 and it's flying along.PPD being lower on Linux is about to be a thing of the Past.

I had no idea what you meant by lars but I just happened upon it by accident. I am using their web client to bring up their stats for the 9070XT. They say it should be getting about 4.9M PPD but I am getting 6M when I have it on "favor power efficiency" and get up to 8M when overclocked. It really depends on the Project though, but I haven't gotten less than 5M. I guess the 9070 WU's are being thrown into the average which would bring it down anyway. Interesting to see the stats and rankings and how everything compares. CUDA makes NV look really good.

Most upsetting is seeing the 5700XT ranked at a 800k average. I remember it getting about 3M - need to go back and look at some of my old stats posted in this thread for my sanity lol.

Glad to see the 9950X3D ranked at the top for CPUs!

No worries Rocm is AMD's Open Source Compute equivalent to that part of the Windows driver. With the latest 6.4 version it's now on par any overhead penalties appear to over. Amd's big announcement is surrounding the compute parts of the driver. Hip is a core component for both OpenCL and it's new platform. In a nutshell Don't be depressed your 9070XTX and other select AMD cards are going to get to experience what Nvida user experienced when Cuda was flipped on for F@H. For both Win and Linux :drool:

Speaking of lars.... I had been contributing to the db while folding. Something happened after both Chrome and Firefox for both Os's recieved updates. On Linux using Firefox one WU completed but the timer started doing some weird count down. Not even closing and restarting the browser reset it. Cache and cookies are cleaned when closed. Anyways it sent some impossible increase in percentage to lars.
My user became inactive for a day.
Booted over to Win on Tax Day and it did the same thing using Chrome. Looks like that got me permabanned as far as submitting stats.
Guess I'm flagged as part of a bitcoin group?
Sigh...
