[F@H] Issues with web client and with utilization

[BloOdlyne]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've recently upgraded my rig to a pretty good one, and I figured that in case the PC is idle I can give some help on this cause.

I've successfuly installed the client and set up my profile. However after my PC restart I've noticed 2 things.

1. The client.https://client.foldingathome.org/ webpage was constantly refreshing
2. My GPU is bearly utilized while my slider is on Full

I have a 2080 Super in my PC and as per Task manager it's 8% utilized, which is weird as I would tought that it would start using the GPU as well once Idle. (at the momment for testing out I've enabled to run all the time).

 

OP: Windows 10 Pro N

Up to date nvidia drivers

 

Thank you for helping.

1. I advise just using the Advanced Client locally. Go to your system tray (assuming Windows), right click the Folding icon > Advanced Control

2. Via Windows task manager? Folding usage on Nvidia cards falls under the 'CUDA' chart:

By default Task manager shows '3D' performance

(Again, assuming Windows).

Well, I feel like a fool. Indeed the graphics card was there and i't using 84% so that's better.

For webclient in the end I made some basic t-shooting and, after cookie and cache delete it's started working. :)

 

Thanks for the info.

Are you using Chrome? If so, don't use it for the web client. Use Edge or Firefox.

No problem. That is an issue I discovered, but it doesn't seem to happen in other browsers.
