Maybe fault in GPU-Z 2.16.0 Mixes up GPUs

[mstenholm]

I have one PC with two different GPUs, a 2060 and a 2070ti. I use them for folding and the results that I got the past 10 days or so (from day one with two GPUs in it) was strange The result shows is that the 1070ti is a "better" GPU in therms of points per day (a faster card) but I couldn't believe that it should be the case. So I asked the F@H program to stop folding when the job was completed and only have one GPU running. In this case the GPU ID 00 but as the first picture shows it still run flat where as the 2060 is clocked down.

Another and maybe more plausible fault is F@H.
My other PC have either identical GPUS or just one. I will link to follow folders to see if they have seen anything similar.

I use to get that when i tried mixing rx480 and anything nvidia ,the work migrated to the rx480 ,sometimes both work units on one gpu, i could'nt find a solution though and had to split that gang up, i only mention it as that was a few years ago but they don't update Fah much and that 2060 is very new to Fah.

I had upto 4 polaris in the same rig fine but any oddity would cause issues,i think i had a gtx295 or something i was trying to hybrid physx plus trifire with a bit of bonus folding but alas ,the pc melted lol.

Interesting, this shouldn't happen, but I can think how it might be happening. Will contact you tomorrow in private

I mostly blame F@H, but just a heads up.

Hmm is it possible that F@H is mixing up the GPUs and GPU-Z is right? Check which card feels hot to the touch

It's the way the F@H numbers the GPUs. Your program is OK.
In the log you have the column PerfCap Reason. What is 16? Have a look here for the reason I ask F@H related, down clock GPU with monitor off

PerfCap Reason. What is 16?

"Idle"

"Idle"

Interesting since the GPU was running, just at base clock with the applied OC which in this case was 1365 MHz in totale. I have two PCs with two GPUs in each. Here it is relevant that I can start up two GPU-Z instances but from time to time when I press the icon on this my one GPU PC and it was running already (minimized) it will run two times but only one is visible and then I get PerfCap 16. The solution for me, since I seem to be the only one with this problem is to open "Hidden Icons" and start it from there if already running.
