Folding at home RTX 4080 only at 20%

Hi

So im Folding for a while and my GPU is only at 20% is there a way that folding can use more of my Gpu ?

How are you viewing your GPU usage? Through windows task manager? By default Task Manager won't show the usage of the GPU for Folding@Home since it shows charts for 3D and video encode/decode usage but F@H is using just the CUDA processing. If you select one of the charts and change it to show CUDA usage you should see the usage for F@H. You can also use other programs like HWInfo64 to view the GPU core load.

 

What's your PPD estimate in F@H? With a 4080 you should be getting around 11-13M PPD depending on the work unit [according to LarSystem's GPU database].

 

Edit: Looks like a Windows update (or maybe driver update?) has removed the CUDA option from the GPU page in task manager for me, if CUDA is not an option for the performance charts on the GPU tab in task manager you might have to use a third party program to monitor the GPU usage.

In Task Manager right-click on the GPU Graph and uncheck "Summary View" then change one of  the graphs to show "Cuda"
