[Solved] Core 17 amd 7970 Low ppd?

[Xsilent(X)]

Does anyone with a amd card experience low ppd with the Zeta core? i have around 80K 50K ppd when i had back 1 month ago 140K ppd with 1 card on the Zeta cores.

Hehe, somehow you just kept getting higher and higher ppd every single day.

 

Have you run it nonstop from 0% without pausing for a longer period?

i don't remember exactly how long the TPF should be on 13001.. try to

pause the cpu slot and see if the tpf on the gpu's change.(it probably will change)

 

Also check the load with gpu-z or something similar, to see if it's stable

and 90%+ ish.

i have been running it for 7 days thats why i find it strange. gpu load is always 97 98%

 

i wonder if they have edited the architecture of the Core 17 zeta because that amount of ppd drain is awkward

who knows. We would probably be seeing alot more of it if this wasn't mostly

isolated to you. Pausing your cpu will probably change your tpf by a few

seconds, nowhere close to account for this discrepancy.

 

Your point return does seem abit low, which probably points to a high TPF,

the cause of it i do not know. Maybe whaler has some better input, the 

97-98% load should pretty much be spot on.

 

Have a look at this http://www.linuxforge.net/bonuscalc2.php the ppd estimate

should be right on target, so it's simply running slow.

 

Potentially driver related? could have a looksy on the folding forum: https://foldingforum.org/

but right now i have to finish my assignment before i die from sleep

deprivation, heh.

it was a driver issue the latest stable driver was a bitch previous driver worked!

Sweet, good that you got it sorted out.

Which version are you running now?

You could figure it out just by the image in the OP. It is a version of a work unit for the gpu in folding@home.
