Great, I'll assign two threads to this VM - I'll keep monitoring the PPDs. Might change what it's working on to see what yields higher results. Thanks for the help!

I have a Proxmox host running a VM specficially for folding to make use of my old GTX 750Ti. I believe I have all things configured correctly, and used to get anywhere between 100k-140k PPD. The problem is, I recently only seem to be achieving just shy of 80k PPD on this VM. I've checked temps on the GPU as well as the host to make sure I'm not throttling thermally. This is the spec of the host system: CPU: i7 4790k 4c/8t 4.0Ghz RAM: 24GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 250GB The VM currently has the following spec: OS: Ubuntu server 22.04 CPU: 1 core (it's spiked to 100% util, but assigning 2 cores does not improve or impact the perforance at all as this ends up with ~50% util) GPU: GeForce GTX 750Ti GPU passthrough (util sits at 99% at anywhere between 60-62 degrees Celcius with very low VRAM usage) RAM: 1.75 GiB Disk: 15GiB The latest/near latest drivers should be installed on this system as I only set this up about 4 weeks ago. Anyone have any ideas what this might be? I have thought that this could also be due to the type of job it is working on, as this number was as low as 60k on the previous task. TIA

Ok sounds cool! I'll be intersted how you get on with that!

I don't think you can manually assign which 'cores' get assigned to what. That's what the Windows scheduler would do. That being said, if there was any way of achieving what you're suggesting is by running something like Hyper V (would need Windows 11 Professional) and seeing if you could achieve it that way? The issue I see arising is that the Windows Host will see that the virtual cores you've assigned to the VM are requesting lots of (heavy) CPU time, meeaning it may try prioritize the P cores to those tasks? I'm just spitballin' - I don't own an Intel chip new enough to test that

Definitely possible! I currently run a Proxmox host with some other services on it. My folding machine has two CPU cores assigned as well as about 2 GB RAM, with my old GTX 750Ti passed through to it! As the other posters said, you'll have to passthrough the GPU to the VM, and that can be a pain although very doable. Craft computing has a good video specifically on how to do it with Proxmox if you were interested in that.

Ok boomer ;)

Was about to say. Not really that medicine is extremely expensive, just that (in the US) they can get away with charging out the wazoo for things like Insulin (which, per vial, is something stupid like $5 to make but will be sold for hundreds).

Make sure the suckers can't remove the damn thing even if they wanted to! Genius

Please... Don't give them ideas...

Might be worth logging with AMD, maybe they can send you a replacement cooler idk

tasty! now im hungry...

This is almost definitely a scam, has to be. Right? Also I went to their website at work... For anyone wondering, this is probably NSFW....

say what

Do it only if its the best price to performance - dont generalise on brands because its a constant tug of war when it comes to graphics products... check reviews! Always!

Because people love pretty colours, like the explosion of the use of RGB in recent-ish times.

shipping exists so i highly doubt it! although it would be a great excuse to just pop over there for a couple days.... or weeks.

how DARE you. thats someones Waifu!

Perfect, thanks!

Hey guys, Trying to convert a .mov file to an .mp4, the file is about 2gb so using something like zamzar.com isnt an option (besides, its very likely a sketchshow anyway), we have pretty tight antivirus here so I want to make sure that when it inevitably does flag the software that it is at least vetted by you guys... Thanks!

Saying that it is "up to x% faster" isn't technically incorrect. It could be pretty misleading especially because we want to read that as "it is 65% faster" instead.

I found it a bit of a weird statement to make from them tbh..

p e a k p e r f o r m a n c e

There are so many things wrong with this. Not sure where to start. Probably that fucking sticker placement, please lord burn it

yeah but bigger number is better, literally always, dont @ me /s

Blacker than the night is the only way forward
