Am I doing it right?

New to folding, I just wanted to give a hand. I didn't find a topic where to ask questions. My cpu is not folding and my web control says this for the gpu:

 

Project 11764

CORONAVIRUS PROJECT

Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) protease - potential drug target

These are high-priority **CPU** projects etc.....

 

Why does it say cpu project but it's running on the gpu? I attached a screenshot. I hope it's not wasted time for you because I have really old hardware.

No time invested into folding is ever a waste. The only thing that is a waste is the electricity compared to newer cards that perform way better. 

 

I have issues with the CPU client too right now, I think they have server issues. As long as the GPU is folding though, everything is good.

points only go up after you finish a wu.
Also, any folding is good,

Hey! I don't really care about actually getting points as long as I actually help folding, but I feel like my output is quite low compared to my hardware (R52600 and RTX2080) when i compare it to what I see elsewhere. Is it just a problem with the way the points are calculated/displayed, or am I actually folding especially slowly? If that's the case, any Idea how to correct that?
