Was it translated to engrish first?

Could have been. Anyway Linux and dual folding will have to be an other day. After I saw and pushed the 2060 inside that small box (Fractal) power it up and saw 475 with HT on I got a bit vorried. It turns out it is a 700 W. It is hot in there 82-84 C for the two GPUs and 82-84% fan. I have to do something about that tomorrow, if it lifes long enough. 1.4K PPD but with massive drop in boost speeed for the 1070ti. The 2060 has zero OC and runs at 1607.

Nice ms waiting to see what it will do.

First job is to turn the PSU so it dosen't blow out air in. Second is to add a second top 140 mm fan in the top and then some decdent OC. The 2070ti didn't lose much going from +175 to +120 MHz but it throttles a lot. MSI will not OC my MSI 2060. Strange. Thermals?

Would it be due to an outdated version or it's not been updated for that yet? Just ideas at the moment, normally I'd have thought they are pretty good.

If the card is throttling, why not run it at stock? You'll probably fine the core will hold a better clock speed if it's throttling that much as it'll back down accordingly...

I just updated to the Beta 12 version to get the oc scanner. I was running an older version that wasnt overclocking right. 50 in the core speed in older version corresponded to 100 core speed overclock on Beta 12 version.

I must admit I do just stick with the most official releases but if you have the newer cards (RTX 2060 as example) then I'm unsure if there's proper support for it in MSI... Scratch that, found a link, adds support from Beta 9 as below from Tweakdown..

From Tweaktown - MSI Afterburner v4.6.0 beta 9 supports RTX Cards

 

[mx500torid]

My 2080 worked on the older version, the core speed when overclocking was just half of what GPUZ and afterburner was showing so 50 on the core was actually 100. The Beta 12 shows it correctly.

I opened my window and brought it down to around 60 C, OCed +67 and crashed it. So yes MSI (4.4.2) is working but I will leave it at stock. The good thing is now I have two 11719 in the rig and points are so much easier to compare - 1070ti +125 and 2060 stock. 874k (162 W) and 670k (145 W). Bare in mind that the whole rig is missing a 140 mm exhurst fan so all is hot. BTW the 2060 is the low GPU but it gets "hot" air from the PSU. These old MBs with zero spacing is going to be my dead.

Is there any way of getting the hardware on like a test bench, put some fans over it and see if that helps with the temps? High temps are a pain....

Step one - read my specs . I have one but I was planing it to use for various AMD 2700x/folding set up. Now what I do is to but it on my second floor (10-14 degree C), add the 140 mm fan, turn the PSU, hard wire it (my WI-FI, even the new one) is crap uploading to FAH.
I have completed eight 11719 (the good ones) on my 1070ti at 2037 MHz with an average of 784K PPD +/- 1%. If I'm not mistaken (HFM have some gabs today) my non-OCed 2060 did the first at 883K at at auto fan (40-45%). I tried to framegrab via Teamviewer but gave up.

Edit: Some WU does good on the 2060, others are beaten by the older 1070ti. Spent some time adding the new 120 mm Noctua in the front and put back the 140 I removed some days ago in the rear. Decided against adding a second 140 in the roof afraid it would disrupt the CPU air flow. Reversed the PSU and hauled the whole thing upstairs at 15 C. 535 W, 1070ti still at 90 % fan but 2060 runs stock clock and clock rpm (40 %). They both run around 70 C. 1.4-1.5M PPD. The fact that I now have two GPUs and higher temperature explains that I didn't reach my 1.5-1.6M PPD. Mayby I will try to update my data sheet for my various GPUs. One thing a day. Stopped drinking so it should speed things up a bit

I'm going to have to stop folding until after Brexit. The electricity bill is interfering with my ability to stock up with food before the shops run out and inflation sky rockets. Glad I have a garden to grow veg in! Will stop on Sunday, after I reach 2 million point with the team.

Once you are free from mainland Europe then the sun comes back so better stock up with more solar panels

LOL, I wish life was that simple I am a citizen of the world, I think Brexit is the biggest mistake this country ever made. I hope I am proved wrong

For folders with two different GPUs in one rig read this F&H f**k up?
The results that I got from the 120 GHz OCed 1070ti and the 2060 at stock was that the 1070ti was 3-9% faster in terms of PPD. Since I had a small heat issue I added a fan in the side window and noticed 6 degree drop in MB temperature. OK I got brave, left the upper 1070ti at 90 % fan (74 degree C) and upgraded MSI Combuster to the newest beta. The 4.4 I had before didn't allow to control fans on the 2060 and worse was that when I entered +80 MHz it gave me 160 GHz, no wonder it crashed. So with temperature OK (63-73 C) and similar core clock 1950 MHz I made a test. Look at the link. Anyway I have to rewrite my data table before I will link it here. After I added 30 MHz for the 2060 it will beat the 1070ti with around 10% at similar W.

Yes thats what I posted before. The old version of Afterburner if you put in 50 and apply for core increase it is actually 100. Beta 12 version if you enter 100 you get 100. My older cards did not do that only the 2080.

Yes you did but I never checked it myself. First updated (old 1070ti/2060 data erased) MStenholm folding chart PPD for GPUs plus some extra info

 

[mstenholm]

Its OK to not edit old posts if there are more than 3 days old? Well I'm making a new post to show off my new toy

The 1070 that it has replaced went to my Linux/WCG to replace a 970. Here the PPD jumped from 300K (no OC) to +700K, still no OC. That is about the same it got with +120 MHz in my WIN7 rig.

The GTX 2070 is my favorite of the RTX cards. PPD close to the GTX 1080 Ti while using only a few more watts than the GTX 1070 Ti.

Sure am liking the PPD for the WU's right now. I've been averaging 1.06M PPD for the last 2 years, but I pulled in an honest 1.3M yesterday, and it seems like it's continuing today.

Yes it does 200k more than a 2060 but I was so pissed that I couldn't buy the MSI 2060 Z model some weeks back that I decided I wanted one mostly becasue I really cound't test the MSI Ventous 2060 I ended up buying since the box is to hot with a 1070ti in it. The shop got one yesterday and that's mine. All others retailers have unknown time of delivery. And yes I have two 2070s already so that's not new toy

The Linux 1070 is going to be on/off folding starting when I put the last piece of wood in the oven/fireplace and then left to run until it finish the current WU when the fireplace is running in the morning.

Edit: Some times it's fun to play with old HW. My hot running and noisy Fractal Design with 1070ti and 2060 had a defect Yate Loon (not running) in the side window. That was replaced with the 140 mm Fractal fan that used to at the outlet but now with a LNA. The outlet got treated with a Noctua NF-A12x25. The result was that I could raise my 2060 core clock with 35 MHz, decrease the RPM on the 1070ti from 90 to 75 % and temperature dropped (both GPUs) with 10 degree C. Ohh it is now less noisy, OK not one I would share bedroom with but an improvement. All that before the third cup of morning coffee.

Just for info everyone, all the stats and milestones etc have been updated, I hope!! Take it easy

Had a machine down over night.. Restarted for the magical Windows Update and I couldn't RDP into it until after a forced restart this morning.. It just so happened to be my only, currently, co-lo machine.

My other 2 machines will be coming down for periods of time over the next few weeks as I do some maintenance on the water loops and perform a couple upgrades. While the loops make the upgrades a little harder, it's kind of nice having all these cards, and cpus, running like they are and not have a lot of noise pollution.

The first numbers are in for the 1660 Ti 1660 ti
He thinks that he can do 700k PPD on Windows. He did 615k PPD the last 24 hours One 1660 ti folding
That is not bad for a low/medium end GPU. The jump to the next - 2060 is not that much in price and these puppies does 900-1000k PPD (well not on 14163-14165).

Hi is it possible to run Folding At Home on my RX 570? If it is can it also be possible to run it on the 570 whilst my 2700X is doing the WCG? (Does the F@H take up much CPU time?). Because when I am not gaming I would be happy to donate my GPU compute to another good cause.

Secondly, is it worth running F@H on a GT 1030 2GB GDDR5? Thanks

According to this LIST a 560 does 114k PPD and a 580 does 344k PPD so some where in between. That is not great numbers but it will put you in the daily top 20 list. You could let it run WU and set to stop after that at night/when you know that you will not need the GPU for gaming for a longer periode of time.

For Windows you need to leave a core/thread free. The FAHClient is not polite as WCG - it muscles in and take resources. I leave two threads on my Windows machines free so I'm sure that nobody staves. I run folding and WCG on one 2700x/Linux and that fuck up WCG. I lose 3-4 hours of the 16 but until now the long time point average of the non-folding identical rig and the folding one are similar, just less run-time.

GT1030 forget about that one. I'm not even sure it will run.

Thanks. So folding at home runs better on Nvidia it seems. Okay I will not fold on my wcg rigs, but I might consider getting a Nvidia GPU in the future and start folding. But ATM I am invested in wcg
