I wouldn't really call it stable, you can see that your 2060 (folding slot 3) had 2 core restarts. One of those luckily was a dropped WU, but you probably lost a chunk of folded % and had to redo it. However, the first restart actually dropped a WU totally and you had to download new one. Now, I cannot know without full logs how much time those 2 restarts took out of folding but I can surely say that that was not worth it. The PPD you get from OC-ing is miserably low compared to risk of dropping a WU. You did have luck in last few days (if you have ran same settings during that time). But those 2 restarts (on 25.11. and 26.11.) are not something you should aim for. Card may be stable on most WUs, but some will fail for sure. +125 CC is quite a lot imho, you should be happy if it has been working with that OC for so many days, especially if it is stable in benchmarks/games, but for Folding, I'd recommend you to drop it to at least +80 if not lower.

Yeah, forgot to mention, I am using + 20-60 CC and +100-300 MC depending on card and it's performance (read: stability) in benchmarks, mining and F@H.

On 4 of my 2080 Super, I cannot go lower than 48% PL. @ 100-112% PL they do 3-3.1M, @ 50-100% PL they do 2.5-2.9M. Once I go below 48% PL core clock drops from 1650 (50% PL) down to 1200-1400 CC, which drops PPD down to 1.7-2.1M. Lowest I can go is 42% PL on these cards and it drops down CC to 900-1050 and I haven't tested PPD but I'd say 1.2-1.7M.

Much more clear, thank you. Now let me rotate my monitor back.

Impossible to guess. Please provide more clues!

Heh, do not worry, just read the post above yours.

Everyone and their dog has already thanked you @GOTSpectrum and the whole team behind this event (@leadeater @marknd59 @cbigfoot @ssmmdd @j1philli and anyone else I might have forgotten), but I thank you again! I am here with only one question regarding folding badge thresholds change. For those that have achieved a certain rank but will not be hitting the new thresholds for the same rank before January 1, 2021 will they be downgraded to lower badge or will the badge achieved persist? EDIT: I forgot to thank everyone who donated prices and of course everyone who folded (and keeps folding). EDITEDIT: Oh, I won the second award, that's a first one. Thank you for providing that one to the pool @RollinLower!

His trick is having a lot of gear and access to even more than we thought possible (check his last day points ).

Not sure then I checked your EoC and you did quite a few WUs during the event but they are mostly CPU units or some really really old GPU units. Not sure what your configuration is and if you ran it normally or only on idle or only a few hours a day. All that can make your PPD tank and not be enough for requirements.

Are you sure you set up your username and team correctly?

1. It might, a bit, I've heard and seen that voltage slider is not placebo anymore on 3000 series, but do not hold me by my word on that one. 2. Yes, no, maybe? Who knows... Probably not. Cables are cables. If they are providing enough power, then there is nothing you can improve, maybe a better PSU could give you 0.1% more PPD or maybe not. But it is not worth testing either way. If they came with PSU, better not to change them, because you do not know if new ones will be compatible.

1. No. Unless you plan on meddling with your card physically and/or with it's BIOS. 2. Both I and @LAR_Systems have already explained you in previous posts what affects your PPD in your case and you shouldn't expect any good results out of the test you are doing that way. ELI5: Fans use power, fans need electricity = the faster fans spin the more power they need = More power they use, less power for GPU die = less PPD. 3. No. Unless you are hitting thermal throttle but at that point clocks would drop. EDIT: Bolded part is most important part of your post.

It's due to how different every % of WU can be. You shouldn't be looking at "current PPD" as even a moving mouse can reduce your PPD as your GPU renders that as well as background. Turning off your monitor or letting it go to sleep can get you up to 5% more PPD or even more. Browsing through windows file explorer can lower your PPD up to 4%, that is why they are averages and why you should always look at them.

Event has not yet finished. And most of "top tier" peps you see at top are running much more hardware, there is not much gain in fiddling with your gear. Power limiting a lot of GPUs can save you electricity while holding same PPD. You could later use that money to buy new gear instead of overclocking your current one.

Do not worry about it. Since event is only for 2-3 more days, my 5th 2080 S (which comes tomorrow) will have no way of getting 22M. UNLESS... Some cherryservers's GPUs start randomly Folding under my username.

Not sure why would he even need to collect that info. There aren't that many CPU folders anyway, sample size would be miniscule and not worth it. Additionally, RAM isn't even that important PPD-wise for database when you have so many different systems in many different environments: -some have dedicated folding rigs which do not use CPU at all apart from folding, -some fold with GPU in addition to CPU while some do not -some use CPU for easy tasks, -some browse a few hours a day, -some browse whole day, -some game on them -etc. RAM would be least useful stat in that a volatile database. GPUs are much easier to collect as their PPD is much higher and varies much less (even if you take into account gaming, overclocking and power limiting). While a simple youtube video might make your CPU go from 50k to 5k PPD (90% drop) (just an example, I am probably exaggerating or maybe I am not?). While when I use my GPU to fold and play WoW/CS:GO. I drop from 3M down to 2.4M in WoW (20% drop) and minimum of 1.6M with unlocked fps (45% drop). You see my point? Him collecting CPU data is already far-stretched.

Disable CPU folding if you plan to use 2 GPUs on low-tier CPU. Delete all slots. And then add first GPU>OK>add second GPU>OK>Save (do not edit gpu-index, opencl-index or cuda-index, just leave them all at -1), you will have much higher PPD, less heat (due to no CPU folding) and both of your cards will work without any problems IF you have correct drivers and good enough PSU.

Sadly, the answer is no, unless someone is keen on making a script.

That will literally not do anything. It doesn't matter what you do on client side* when server is the one that assigns WUs. It's just pure luck** which server you get and what WU type you are assigned by that server. What you are experiencing is most likely a placebo effect. *Unless you do something that you shouldn't be doing. **Most of the time.

https://folding.lar.systems/ Really handy chrome extension.

I am preparing for semi-pro league in CS:GO. Had a break for a year and now I have to grind my way back to the top. Folding gave me an excuse to take a break for another month

I know, and I'd argue that it is a smart decision from your side.

Even though it is actually very easy to check if you know how. Umm, do you even count? ...21,22,23,25,26,27... Have you not learned that in school?

That would require additional scripts which would probably require additional program downloads or google chrome admin access to your device. Not feasible as of now. That would be more realistic to make but not sure it's worth it. Current tables have more than enough info, however down the line, I expect @LAR_Systems will probably make this one too.

Yeah, those small and fast WUs are really not well balanced PPD-wise. Thankfully, there are not many of them anymore. Or they are much more balanced now. You finished that one in under an hour and got 400k for it. That was in July IIRC, right?
