Yup, 1070 seems to be about 30% faster according to videocardbenchmark.net

1650s is newer but much lower end

"Much lower end" Die shrink and Frame Buffer upgraded from the 1070 to the 1650...

 

Ahhh, there are a lot of differences. Granted, I wouldn't consider the 1650 Super to be low end when you can still buy GT cards of any type, especially those with 3 digits, new. (But that's just my opinion )

 

Not arguing the numbers, 600m more transistors, 4GB more memory (though said memory is slower, the capacity seems to more than make up for it which makes sense), and the die shrink was "only" 4nm. Actually, now that I'm actually comparing numbers my card seems to be performing well, if not a bit under where she should be (likely the cpu bottleneck smacking me) - and also being crippled by pcie 2.0 perhaps.

For some reason, on chrome, if you open developer tools the web interface shows up, if you have a problem losing it.

Like, when you hit F12? 

If so, that's quite interesting and I'm wondering in what interesting way you broke it. 

 

WoT is done downloading, I'm hitting the hay. Should have gone to bed a few hours ago lmao!

Well it's got a bunch fewer of every core type etc as well... and is half the price class.

 

The only reason you can buy 3-digit cards is that they probably made way too many of them and still have stock to clear. They're good if you need a display adapter becasue the CPU in your office build has no integrated graphics but that's about it...

I got no WU's and one that is still pending for upload, it's been hours !

[Purzifal]

Last night, over the last 10 hours, none of my systems done any work, they where all stuck at 17% downloading project number 1 and could not clear it till i restarted. got everything back on track and not got a python script running on all systems to send me an email if any get stuck, a pain to write but not sure if its gonna work yet. i checked the logs and nothing useful there 

[Parideboy]

Added 2 laptops to the mix. It's not gonna make a dent, but at least my room/office is nice and warm now

I think that it depends on the load they're getting on their end, on that specific server.

For me, it took about 30 minutes to upload, and it's not due to the size of the WU

[Kilrah]

Don't look at points count - it's really frustrating when you see the points for your 100K point WU fall down and down and down every second just becasue the server takes 10 minutes to take a 20MB upload

You may be on to something with the slots, my 390x is in folding slot 0. I'm going to switch things around and see if it makes a difference.

I'm not so sure anymore, as @GOTSpectrum's foldatron was only being allocated WUs for the 'smallest' GPU, and that one wasn't slot 00.

Do you know what timezone these stats are reported in?

I'm not 100% confident all of my points are being counted and am struggling to match the stats to my logs to check them off.

Thanks

Top left says "Time now"

[UrbanFreestyle]

Bummer, I've managed to get a cpu WU but no joy on GPU.....

That's just luck. There's no rhyme or reason as to why some slots get WUs and others don't - at least not as far as I'm aware.
It's also likely that because it was the slowest GPU that it takes the longest time to complete a work unit. It might take it 4 hours to complete a work unit that the other cards can do in less than 2 hours. This means that once it gets a work unit it can keep it for longer, though it might not actually be getting any more work units in a given day than any of the other cards.

GPU sitting idle since over 3 hours now... it's getting hungry.

Try pausing it, waiting 10-20 seconds and then resuming it. This should reset the cycle for it to check for new Work Units (if you've been unable to get a new WU after a few hours it effectively stops looking)

[ShortRouter]

I am aware of this method, I posted it here yesterday

That didn't occur to me - because of the limited availability of WUs it could be that they are favoring the slower cards to help distribute them.

I see the time stats now, thanks, that should help me keep track of jobs completed in my log and match the points and WUs up.

Just woke up, and when I turned on my PC the cpu started folding even before I had time to login

The GPU however...

 

09:58:34:WARNING:WU02:FS01:FahCore returned: BAD_WORK_UNIT (114 = 0x72)
09:58:34:WU02:FS01:Sending unit results: id:02 state:SEND error:FAULTY project:11760 run:0 clone:269 gen:4 core:0x22 unit:0x0000000980fccb0a5e6d7cc9ae514f19

And then a bunch of "No WUs available for this configuration".

[Meganter]

Well bad news, I won't receive a GPU I ordered (r9 290x) because of the lockdown, but I was wondering if it could work at the same time with my actual GPU too or not ? I have a Vega 64.

You should

[Meganter]

I've gotten 2 WU for my GPU in a row too so I'm folding as fast as my hardware can

Good news, let's hope I can have it when the lockdown is over

Signed and ready to go! 

Question, can more than one GPU be used at a time in the same machine?

Yep!
In the Advanced Control (in the task icons, right click the F@H icon and open Advanced Control) go to the Configure settings menu and add another Slot for the GPU and it should add the second card.
You can mix GPUs from different series (ie. GTX 1080 with a RTX 2080) or you can even use GPUs from AMD & Nvidia in the same system, you just need to install drivers for both.

Ok great thanks! 

Got a spare RX 580 that im not using, so i might put it in with my other RX 580. Have them both going.
