Slowdowns?

Really? For CPU and GPU?
These are the GPU work units I've had since I started my spreadsheet Tuesday.
CPU
I assume the FuryX handles the same projects that RX Vega does, but maybe not?

I don't fold on the cpu 24-26 hours per wu isn't cost efficient. All I do is slow down the science. A modern i3 will outperform my FX 8350, avx performance has never been stellar single thread performance subpar at best. It also adds 30sec to 1 min to my tpf on gpu wu's.
Seven GPU wu's in the last 60 hours. Yeah the FuryX should be able to fold anything Vega does just a bit slower. Oddly enough with the new core 22 units the more atoms the better. A project with 400k atoms will complete 2 1/2 hours faster than one with 28k lol
@Flyordie I keep forgetting FAH doesn't benefit from overclocking the memory unless something has changed recently that I'm unaware of.

Interesting - since your post I've found that any credit earned by my CPU is a wash.
A few times I've watched the GPU fold with idle CPU, and when the CPU gets a work unit, thee TPF does increase on the GPU by about 10%. Whatever credit estimate the CPU has, seems to get subtracted from the GPU estimate (proportional to how % complete the processing is).
My system is still burning through with very little involuntary idle time.
Are you looking to upgrade your system? I seriously considered getting all of your equipment at the time it came out (because AMD fanboi) but decided to wait because my Core i7 920/Radeon 7970 was still doing very well with games at 1080p.

My system already slows down once the monitor goes to sleep, that adds 15-30 seconds to my tpf.
Once I can afford to upgrade I'll definitely do so. The new budget cpu's from AMD look enticing, the 3100/3300X for example. I just finished looking at the Phoronix benchmarks on them. I'd happily re-enable folding on those.

I found exactly the same thing, plus it slowed down my GPU folding because it couldn't keep the video cards fed properly. I was just burning an extra 100W for nothing. I'm getting more work done without a CPU folding slot at all.
My PPD just got killed because it was unable to upload results for at least 12 hours. So much for the rapid return bonus...
A large part of me wishes that there were no bonus points. It adds extra stress to something that shouldn't be stressful, and I think if my system were middle-grade or less, I would be discouraged from folding altogether.
It probably does encourage higher-end hardware sales, which I like.
