Poor performance with Folding @ Home

[JTPOTATO]

Hi guys,

 

new to the forum so apologies if there is already a thread out there answering this,

 

but I have a pretty decent computer, but I seem to getting fairly poor performance with folding @ home

 

My PPD is around 100k

 

my pic specs are:

 

i7 6900k overclocked to 4GHz

64GB DDR4 2667 RAM

ASUS GTX 1080 Strix

 

i saw elsewhere there are both supposed to get near on 1 million each!! So where am I going wrong?

 

your help would be appreciated

 

thanks

Might be the current issues with the Nvidia drivers.  For a while now F@H has had issues with nvidia cards.

Thanks for that, could be the reason, as it takes a few hours to do a 207 point work unit!

 

Hope fully they fix it soon

Which version are you using? The current set has a "either works perfectly or none at all" relationship, there's no in-between crippled performance. So long as you are using 373.06 (and below) or the hotfix 376.48 and above, you should be fine on the drivers.
