Is there anything particular that you need to do with the 5700xt to improve performance. I am going to set it up on my sim rig computer that has a 2070 super in it but this machine i am on runs a 5700 xt and noticed many are discussing team green cards

Yes, you need to take it out of the computer and put a real card in there no I'm just kidding sorry no idea........ :3

[Laura Lawson]

After all the issues this card has caused me I would agree. At the moment it runs my games maxed out so all good. May have to set up the FAH in my 5820 machine. Have a spare 970 and 980 around

Question: if I have "I support research fighting:" set to "Any disease", is this correct? I see no option for COVID19.

This is correct. Select Any Disease.
They are prioritising Covid-19 projects at the moment so there's a good chance you will get a project related to that. Though, there are projects related to alzheimers, cancer, etc that are still important. If you do get one that isn't related to Covid-19 then still work it as it will help fight the next battle.

Use the latest AMD drivers and you should be fine. Just set it up as you normally would if it were an Nvidia card.

Well, it's quite better than my RX 580 and it's a pretty decent GPU. AMD GPU's don't typically last me longer than 2 years with relatively low usage so I can relate to you there. Not sure if it's an AMD thing or what, all I know is my GTS 450 still works after 9 years.

I told my folks ahead of time I'll pay extra this month for the electric bill. At least we don't need the heater.

I've been using BOINC for 3 months now. It's $30 a month in electricity alone, but I feel good because I always know that I'm extremely charitable. One day I might also find a new prime number, or solve a disease, using my processing power. That's priceless.

Be careful folks: There is a 7+ year known problem where the uninstall will delete the ENTIRE install folder. This is a HUGE, KNOWN issue that they have refused to fix for YEARS. DO NOT USE, or at least use at your own risk... https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=23506

 

I was uninstalling FAH to test an issue (it triggers Epic Games anti-cheat security measures) and it ended up deleting my entire system utilities folder. I had to spend all of yesterday restoring from backup.

We show you how you can setup Folding@Home, a distributed computation project that allows you to donate your computer's processing power to help model protein dynamics to combat diseases like Parkinsons, Cancer, Huntingtons, and most importantly, COVID-19.

My computer just sitting there and took a damn long time to find a new project (It is saying that waiting for assignment and atempting times, like 15). Could someone helps me to fix this? I want my computer fired up and run at 100% usage anytime when I saw it. I really want to use my computer on something good other than playing games. PLEASE HELP TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM! Thank you.

my PC is a kind of good one though.  CPU: ryzen7 3800x RAM: 16GB 3200mhz  MB:msi meg X470  Graphic Card: msi rtx2080ti gaming x trio   POWERSUPPLY: superflower 1000W. My parents fund me to build it. Now they are in trouble, I really want to use this PC to run full load on folding@home at 24*7.

can I still contribute to COVID-19 preject in these website?

Yes! Rosetta@home is doing just that, and with some success already: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

Note that rosetta is CPU only (see supported platforms to the right in the list for projects that also supply GPU tasks). You can take part in multiple projects at the same time.

Thank you very much! I will do it right now

It does not let me connect to rosetta@home

Looks like berkeleys boinc site is down atm. Possibly they got ddos'ed from all the new traffic?
No worries tho, the boinc client program can also be found here: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/join.php

Also, is there any way that I can let my gpu run too? It is only using my CPU right now.

Rosetta doesn't do GPU, CPU only.

Also I’m doing Rosetta@Home while waiting for more WUs from F@H.

IT's something you can run at the same time.  F@H seems to be nearly all GPU tasks and Rosetta is all CPU.  I've had some F@H CPU WU's but the most recent one wasn't for COVID.  I think right now they have more processing power than they can even use.

Well I didn't know BOINC was already giving out COVID19 WU's through Rosetta@home. I've just added it to my BOINC, unfortunately I couldn't find out how to make a team. Someone should make one for us.

I read the FAQ here to figure out how to join the LTT team.
