I'm not sure, but you can check LARsystem's database for your GPU/similar GPUs and find out.

even then. each  hardware part is slightly different. so use above ref with grain of salt.

It's interesting seeing how quick my TPFs are when I'm completely idle, and how it falls through the floor the moment I open an application.

It gets up to 7.4M if I close everything... though I'm sure it's just because there's some just really good jobs right now.

I have 40 CPU cores folding along with 5 GPUs to reach my 2 million PPD. I'm using it to heat my house right now, so I'll have to turn most of it off in a month or so.

wow, and to think my single mid-end card from 2019 (RTX 2060) can do that

 

I guess the 1660Ti is the main producer?

Yep, the 1660 Ti usually gets around 1.4 million PPD. That's followed by the RX 570 in my office PC getting ~400K (it varies a lot), and that's followed by a few older cards (GT 740, GTX 680, R9 270). I only do CPU folding in the winter when I can use the extra heat.

Do you play with any of the 1660Ti's settings (i.e. undervolt, overclock)? I get between 1.4-1.6M PPD on my 1660S depending on the day by by adjusting things in Afterburner.

Not much. Right now it's at stock, but I'll try to tune it eventually.

Just curious how much over the Super that would get you

The difference between 1660 super and TI on average is around 200ppd give or take the week / work units.

Cool, I've looked in the past and was thinking about how they faired currently with the WU lately. Thanks for the links.

To be fair, I have noticed how big the gap really is between older and newer GPUs. I have an R9 380 2GB folding at work and it produces maybe 400K PPD. My 3080 typically does 6M PPD, though it has the aforementioned sensitivity towards background tasks.

Quick update on that Q6600 + 1660 Ti rig I talked about a few days ago: Even with the BSEL mod to get the Q6600 to 3 GHz, the 1660 Ti is still bottlenecked, doing only 1.1M PPD.

 

With a more powerful Ivy Bridge core and a small overclock, my 1660 Ti can really stretch its legs now, doing approximately 1.7M PPD.

More evidence supporting my hypothesis that new CUDA WUs are more CPU-intensive than they appear. I know the Q6600 is an older CPU, but if it bottlenecks a 1660Ti even at 3GHz, I think it's getting to the point where we can't recommend low-end Celeron F@h builds with 2-4x high-end GPUs aynmore.

 

Any idea whether it was bottlenecked on Linux?

I am having a real hot month so far. I wonder if I can finally hit 500 in 1 month. Pulling up very close to and for the first time ever surpassed 20M ppd... and I was just thinking I could buy another video card if something I wanted popped up for sale but I have not found anything yet.

Wish I knew someone... anyone!... that would be willing and/or able to help me out with a spare GPU that was just hanging around. LOL.

 

Those are some nice looking rigs you've got there. Question, how's that BeQuiet AIO working out for you? I've thought about getting one sometime. I currently have a BQ case and air cooler.

It was supposed to be march, but I've started new meds and I'm waiting for them to normalise. Probably april or may

I thought it would be some time this month, that's why I asked.

 

I hope you are ok and the meds work well for you.

 

Just wish I could do more than fold, I would like to help in the runnings of the events, but unfortunately I don't think I have the right skills to help.
