ran into the bug of the fs2020 installer making your GPU sit at 100% usage. wondered why i was only pushing 1.5mil on a work unit...

Don't minimize the installer, that's when it goes to 100%. Keep it as a small window.

ok so scooty puff is doing good but want him to rest so just Bender and Calculon Folding.

Having a memory OC seems to really help out with these new CUDA WUs.

 

I was doing ~650k estimated PPD as compared to ~400k pre-CUDA, which was an impressive leap by itself, but I noticed that my memory controller load was around 60% on avg. So I tried a mere +200Mhz on memory O/C, and now it's estimating 750k PPD for these 17406 WUs.

I wonder if that's why the 2080 TI Rev A (Strix) cards are kicking ass?    Could be factory overclocks are hitting a sweet spot.

rev A is also lightning Z.

 

i'm hitting 6.3mPPD on some WU's

Interesting.   Might have to make a list of know Rev A cards... these are the cards Ebay was made to find.

for clarification i'm also running a +1000 memory offset

Which is starting to confirm the theory of why they are doing soo damn well.   CUDA and overclocking might be a big deal compared to the previous folding core.

As a test I ran my 1080Ti on a core clock and memory clock bump instead of the usual 75% limit and no adjustments, there’s 600k of difference here 

Seems like on CUDA the overclocking to performance rules are similar to mining.   This is going to get interesting.

I can confirm, I just added 700 mhz clock increase on my 1080ti and am getting 400k more PPD on WU 11751

Oh shit..... I havent kicked on the client on my 1080ti, but damn if I can get 2.5M PPD out of my 1080ti alone I'll be super happy

2038 core, +250 mem offset running in P0 state gives me 2.9-3.05mPPD. on a 1080Ti.

that puts it above the regular 2080Ti on the LAR database lol

I couldnt get 2025 stable on my card (at leats for gaming, it weirdly seemed to work on Folding). 1999 seems actually stable, and the 1hz difference doesnt trigger my OCD strangely

It's beautiful.

I had already lowered the power limit on my 1660 Super to 80% and then bumped up the memory last night by a few hundred MHz. Anyone have any thoughts as to a nice balance of core and memory clocks to maximize points (along with the lower power limit)?

 

I think I'm currently at something like 1800 (core) and 7200 or 7300 (mem).

1660 super runs gddr6 right? try +1k on the memory. I can run +1k on my turing card without added mem voltage. that will give you quite a bump.

I'd say 80%, stock core speed, +1k memory clock would be a decent point for efficient folding. most of my cards need about 5% extra power to accomodate the memory bump at the same core clocks as my 75% +0mem profile

That's in the ballpark of where I was leaning so thank you for the suggestion.

[LAR_Systems]

Just remember that when you're overclocking on F@H different projects may / may not work with the OC so keep an eye on your system log for dropped WU or worse reboots from stability issues.

i've found +1k on GDDR6 hasn't caused issues. crashes start at +1250 for me

your card is just a damn golden sample blessed by our lord's leather jacket himself.

i'm getting instability at about 900.

We call these unicorns!  

That 2080 ti Rev A...   I have lookup a bunch of specs on them vs normal 2080 Tis... they have nothing traditional benchmarks would determine as different.   But for folding have always been a beast compared to a normal 2080 Ti.

Feel like these early ones flew to close to the sun and were used as Titans  after a certain point in early production.

LOL...

I wanted to add some trash to my lab for 24/7 folding on the DB... it's backordered 7 weeks min... Love this launch Nvidia.

Those RX580's 5700XT's still holding out strong for him I see............

[marknd59]

I have high hopes for 4 of his old RX580's I got hold of.

At the moment we have a very close competition going on for the number of incorrect forum names and incorrect folding names for folding month 2020. Currently we have 15 people that need to have the forum name corrected and 15 people that need to have the folding name corrected and 1 person that needs both of them corrected. That's 31 people that will be out of the event before it even starts, so once again if you have not checked your event entry please do so now. You can check the signup sheet here - SIGNUP SHEET and if you need to make a correction make it in the corrrection thread here -  CORECTION THREAD

 

Thank you good luck in the event.
