As the title says, my ppd is just nuts. One time it shows 170k, and then it drops to 70k. I'm folding on a 7970 atm. And the thing is, apparently the 70k ppd is the accurate one since I'm getting that on the team stat page.

So, am I missing something? Last time I folded was about a month ago and I got stable 110k ppd. Did they change something?

I'm using the new 13.8 drivers

Ninja edit: I have the client-type=advanced flag, do I need to change that?

The last time I was folding there were jumps, but not 100k. Plus it seems my 7970 is now weaker by about 40k.

Is this just on my end?

Various projects are going to cause that. The PPD calculation is based on your the frames per minute (or second, or whatever it is :) ) value, which can also change - and is somewhat volatile on Core17 projects. As it adjusts your PPD can fluctuate. Especially on higher end cards, which one minute you are getting 3FPM then the next 10FPM, which on a 4 hour to complete project makes a big difference. Pretty normal right now.

 

The whole thing with the PPD numbers you see - it's all an "estimate". I ask many people how get plumbing "estimates" how those went.  :ph34r:   Sometime good... sometimes, not so much....
