I wanted to say I had a blast folding with all of you... I can't believe the amount of cumulative experience, knowledge, and brain power, and most of all willingness to come together for a purpose that's greater than any of us from the members on this team.
 
It's been an honor.  I can't wait for the next event... and more drink recipes.
 
I'm pretty happy..., first time folder, 170th place
3900x, 5700xt then "borrowed" my son's laptop (rtx 2060m) when people started adding machines..
 
I was surprised, the 2060m was averaging higher points per wu than the 5700xt.. 
I would see ~87k jobs on the 5700xt while the 2060 would consistently get 150k..I'll have to look into that..
 
 
 
 
 

Like I said, I'm a member of the Grammar Nazis of America... dyslexic branch...
 
Thanks for that catch!
 

LOL!  Cee thats also y eye wud nevr fuld for dem!

your laptop team number is Grammar Nazis. They're different numbers

Sorry, I saw the opportunity and had to take it.
Someone else mentioned a similar issue. Their servers are under a lot of stress, so you just have to let it slide. Maybe it'll get corrected down the line.

I've seen a couple of people discussing dips in power or utilization while viewing the GPU stats.
 
Here is a view of the shader clock on one of my GPUS:

what we're seeing here is every couple of minutes the shaders are done processing one chunk of work and send it back to the CPU which then feeds it the next. Or, alternatively it could just be at a point in the simulation where the GPU doesn't have the capability to do the type of calculation required so it pauses while the CPU does the calculation then resumes.
 
Yes, the system will run checkpoints. There is a default setting and you can over-ride it but the researcher can also hard-code a different checkpoint interval into the WU itself.
 
Theres also periodic sanity checks done to make sure the simulation isn't getting off-track or processing errors occuring.
 
TLDR: Your power, shader clocks etc. will bounce up and down during normal processing of a WU. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
 

LIE-NUS....

THIS WHOLE Folding@Home team was based on a lie!
I am out... TSC! Russia here I come!

I started folding right after I saw the LTT video - like a lot of the folks here.
 
So far:

 
Running on r9 3900x and Radeon 5700xt since the beginning... and currently have the front, side, and top covers off of my rig with a fan blowing on my gpu...lol.
Also can't wait till those work units are more stable... I still have a lot of idle time on the GPU... CPU's been pretty consistently busy.

OK... now we just need someone with a GPU water loop to make their folder a coffee machine.

Sorry if was already posted here, but... jajajajajajaja!

Quick check: react to this post if you are interested in testing out folding on a cloud GPU server for free for a limited time period.

Thanks..just got a WU...(I get notifications from my GPU blower...sounds like an airplane engine when the WU starts processing)
