Is the 3D visualization viewer broken? I only see it cycling through Demo snapshots and not what is currently being worked on. I don't need it of course, but thought it'd be cool to see what protein simulation was being worked on similarly to Berkeley's Boinc - Rosetta@home viewer/screensaver.

Okay so turns out that it was the driver, but not that it was out of date as I had the most updated STUDIO driver. Switched over to the GAMING driver and is now running correctly after restart. Soooo much more estimated PPD! Exciting! Thanks again for your help. Salud!

Okay thanks! Are you aware if it is better or even can utilize "studio" drivers from NVIDIA?

Hey needing some help. I'm up and running Folding@home for LTT team finally instead of using Boinc for Rosetta@home. Folding@home is new for me but I want my GPU to be better utilized and I noticed it isn't getting any action currently. Everything is currently default. I see occasional Work Units downloading for my specific GPU [GeForce GTX 1070] Checked the log for the GPU slot # and it kept spitting out this error: "Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually" After a series of fails and errors, it sends back the work unit, labels it as bad, then tries to find more work units only to repeat this process over again. I had the automatically generated slot ID as "1". Went to see what can be edited. My GPU-Index, opencl-index, and cuda-index are all set to "-1" (default). Would be greatly appreciated if I can get this error fixed and contribute more to the team and the cause. Thanks for being such a great community. Salud, Jordan PS I know it's a forum and I don't need to have this read like a formal email or whatever, but wanted to wish everyone good health anyways! EDIT: For now I've just paused the GPU to help by not congesting the servers with cyclical failing work units and downloads.

Oh okay thanks! I'll have to figure out the F@H then. I've been using Boinc for years but want to help with the LTT team too.

Is this specifically for Folding@home, or for Boinc Rosetta@home users as well?

I miss Reddit Video... would see random shit like this Yip yip happy happy happy boing boing boing

I understand not wanting to waste life away but sleep is friggin important. The National Sleep Foundation will tell you it depends on age. around college age it's supposed to be 7 to 9 hours of sleep but we all know what happens in reality due to the nature of college demands. I used to be this way too, wanting to sleep as little possible. Recently scientists have found during the REM cycle of sleep, spinal fluid seeps into your brain to leach toxins out from your brain which it them deposits to the rest of the lymphatic system to rid of the toxins. Unlike almost all other areas of the body, your brain does not have lymph nodes to clean the toxin build up from an average day. In adults only about 20% of their sleep is REM cycle and usually doesn't happen until roughly 90 minutes from the start of sleep. So if you're sleep is minimal by choice rather than by circumstance then you're likely doing more harm than good as far as quality of life and perhaps even duration.

Instead of a body analogy I tend to use a city analogy. CPU - Town Hall where most important decisions are made and deligate tasks GPU - The creative arts center! Most visual tasks handled here RAM - Those circle roundabouts for traffic flow - I guess a better analogy could be billboards that have information on them that easily switches out Mobo - The roads routing to these different places PSU - Power supply "company" HDD - The homes of the civilians "stored" in the city, The whole city can only handle as many homes their are in the city to "store" people in it. I imagine using analogies like this for electronic components on the entire computer is how the concept of the movie Tron was developed back in the "grassroots" of computer technology in the 80s.

I could see how it looks that way but in the work culture I was in we were just having a good bit of fun

I know there is a TeckQuickie suggestion thread in the forum but this obviously doesn't apply to your idea. I could see something, perhaps not as long of a duration done for Channel Super Fun. Perhaps there's a suggestion thread there!

And it's remarkable how many times it works lol. I would say that I love to make up parts of the computer that don't exist and bang it around a bit before actually solving the issue. Or make obscene comments before finalizing the issue and saying it likes to be talked back at.

As black as my soul

So I've encountered an issue where my AMD Radeon Settings crashes every single time I try to access the Display portion of the settings. The program crashes with this error and clicking debug does nothing: I have an AMD Radeon R9 200 series card which according to Device Manager is completely up to date for drivers. If I could get any help from this I'd highly appreciate it. Have been dealing with this for a couple months now.

I guess my counter question would be... Why?
