longbow798 reacted to steelo in Folding@home - cpu speed seems to be irrelevant
I've used the B@INC client in the past and it seemed to be much more precise. You could set a folding schedule, # of cores to use, etc...it was much more friendly to use

Me too. And the slider to choose system usage should be more precise. I got the feeling it does not really fit to the specs

Could be an idea, but unfortunately I havent got enough time to do that...

I'm very new to this...their software wasn't overly easy to use and understand.

You can also try overclocking your APU, not sure how much of a benefit it will give you. I've seen overclocked Vega 11 come pretty close to 1050's in performance which is pretty amazing for integrated graphics.

But folding for crap points is still better than nothing;)
Which gpu do you have ?

That is strange...probably just a software fluke

Do you have an idea why it is shown as "10 Mobile" ?

You may be surprised 😉 Based on the results I've seen, even GPU's like GTX 1050's push out quite a bit more points than CPU's.

While I was using 11 threads, CPU utilization was around 90% and running in the 70's...With 4 threads, utilization would be around 40-50% and temps in the 50's. I was also using my wifes PC that has a R5 2400g with 4 threads being utilized and temperatures would be in the 70's and take forever to finish wu's...
Unfortunately CPU's just aren't nearly as efficient as GPU's when it comes to folding unless you have something like a 24c... I actually stopped using my CPU because it was giving me crap points.
