Ah, so you got three GPUs.  Yeah, the usage is going to be up there then.  nVidia cards have overhead when folding.  Since that is a 4/8 CPU, each card will usually pull one thread for their usage.
 
By the looks, each core 21 is demanding around 13.5-14% from the CPU.  So, that around average of 40% usage from the CPU since you got three core 21s being crunched.

If a game could be ruined simply by a single discussion site, then it's more likely to be a testament of how terrible the game actually is.

I know in Primegrid you can add some parameters to the config to run multiple units on one GPU, I saw people doing four on their R9 290's due to utilization problems.  The tasks sometime end up running slower individually but over all the GPU gets pegged at a full 100% so people are able to complete many more tasks in a given time frame.  It's not like Seti@home has super huge four to eight day GPU tasks like Primegrid but if you can run multiple tasks you could put out a ton on that beast.

Not sure if you need another answer but at that temp you shouldn't see any damage on that card.  If your card does fail it will be from some faulty component over time rather than a heat related death.  So I'd say Fold/Mine away.

If they contributed more, then they deserve it, as you've said.
TBH I don't think you should really be doing it just to get badges anyway
 
I don't think the badges should be the same, since you haven't put in the same amount of work.
Say I take 2 people to work with me. One finishes 4 rooms, the other one does half a wall. I don't really think the person who did half the wall should be rewarded the same award just because he was there for the same amount of time, do you?

Way ahead of you. Ive already contacted him after posting this topic.

From my observations it seems Boincstats updates daily and not all at once. Different data comes in at different times. Some days you get partial updates also which are caught up the next day.
 

You can buy a bitcoin.

You'll be wasting more electricity for nothing... so, F@H would be best choice.

Now the question is, how much power did you pull from the wall in that 24 hour time period?

Hey everyone!
 
After the debacle that was me realising that I had a DOA card and getting it replaced, I've finally been able to run some numbers on Folding@Home.
 
Here are the results;
 
This is the average PPD on Project 9414 at stock frequency (1870MHz core, 5000MHz memory, 60% fan speed)
 

 
This is the average PPD on the same project but with the core at a +120MHz offset and the memory left at stock, again with 60% fan speed;
 

 
If there's anything else you would like to know, comment on this thread and I'll try to reply asap!
I hope you found this information useful!  

Thanks! Glad you found the information useful!

definitely.
the Ryzen stock cooler is good enough to OC the 1600 to 3.8 Ghz, so it should be more than enough
You'll run into the limits of the chip long before you run into limits with the temps.
(especially since Ryzen is soldered)

I was mistaken, from the quick search around the F@H forums I just did it seems that GPU folding is either on or off.  I don't believe there is a way to limit the power through the F@H control panel.
 
You could try undervolting and under clocking your cards, the should preform around the same and at least on many AMD cards it does wonders for power draw, heat, and noise.  That may be your solution here.

Not exactly Prim95, but we might as well say so... the program used (LLR) is the exact same as P95's, only with different input values.
 
You've got it the other way around: P95 is a prime searching program that just so happens to also have a stress test mode to assure your hardware is up to the taks of prime hunting.
 
Oh, and btw, it's not pointless:
 

It's a shame there isn't more going on here. What do you guys think about advertising our teams, maybe as a little side note on the LTT channel?
Wouldn't it be easy to say "btw go find out about our distributed computing teams!" with a link at the end of each episode where they link all kinds of stuff anyways?
Interested in your opinion.

This video feels soooo old ...

I think it's worth a revisit, especially now that AMD has released their new processors.  I'd love to have my hands on one of those 1700's, I'd be swimming in primes.

A well-supported opinion, but an opinion, yes.

But, that's just like, your opinion man. 

I finally figured it out. The monitor gets a bit flaky when it's been on standby for a few weeks. power cycling the monitor instantly fixes it without rebooting the PC, and doesnt happen again until the monitor has been on standby for a couple weeks. Not such a huge problem after all i guess. Can't imagine ASUS left one of these on standby for a month during testing so i'll let them off.

Considering that 10$ is the max payout, you can fold just enough for EVGA to pay you and then change your team. Or, stop folding altogether and use the time crunching for a Boinc project of your liking (and that's attached to the LTT team), that's option as well.
 
Regardless, it doesn't matter, so long as you are doing crunching.

Actually, if it wasn't for ranking / points, crunching power would be much smaller. The folks at WCG did a study on the subject a long time ago, and they found that production increased a lot when a "reward" system was in place.

I know this is a late reply but as far as I know F@H leans much more heavily on single precision hardware as in many cases the double precision just isn't there on a lot of cards, along with this the card needs to be optimized for to be able to be effectively used by processing programs such as F@H.  Take for example the R9 290 compared to the GTX 970.  The GTX 970 having 3494 GFLOPS of processing power under a perfect load and producing around 340,000 PPD, while the R9 290 having 4848 GFLOPS under a similar load yet only producing around 250,000 PPD.  From that we can gleam the raw theoretical specifications are not always indicative of real world performance even in raw computation such as F@H.
 
I would recommend looking at this list on overclock.net for looking at around what each card will produce if you haven't found it yourself already.

Now double precision tasks are a different matter,  the difference in power between the GTX 970 and the R9 290 is huge, one of the many reasons so many were bought for coin mining a few years ago and are still being purchased for Etherium mining today.  The GTX 970's theoretical double precision output is just 109 GFLOPS while the R9 290 holds of to a fair bit more with it coming in producing 606 GFLOPS.  Now this difference of power doesn't show in F@H due to it's preference toward single precision tasks.  Where it does show is in some task on the BOINC platform, for this I'm going to use Primegrid as an example as it is my primary project on all of my rigs, plus it has a GPU performance list built into their site.
 
On GFN 22 tasks which are the most intense tasks for GPUs at the moment on Primegrid the R9 290 pulls far ahead in work unit completion time,yet for PPS Sieve it falls far behind as that's a single precision load.  Now for the PPS sieve that's not all that big of a deal as my R9 290s complete one of those tasks in around 20 minutes, yet for the GFN 22 tasks my R290s can take up to 3 and a half days, so the 970's lack of power for double precision really impacts it here where I've seen it reported as taking up to 5 days.  Just for a comparison beyond those card the HD 7950 produces 717 GFLOPS of double precision work and complies it's GFN-22 tasks in just over 3 days, and ive seen it complete one in under 3 before, but only once.
 
Sorry for the wall of text, was more so for my self than anything else and there's no reason to delete it now that I've already types it out.
 
TL;DR  Look at preference lists to see real PPD numbers as it's not always straight forward.  But generally for F@H Nvidia>AMD.
