Good news. The seller has refunded me for the RX 570, and is returning the GTX 1060.

That's great news

Glad there's still some honest people out there

Guys I just had a thought, how would a 7970 card do when it comes to folding?? Would it be worth getting it to run? It'll be through Linux as it's my SR-2 setup.. Just wondering if it would be worth a few hours whenever I have enough sun

Unless something have changed a lot since I last folded with one (130k PPD) it is not a good performer. Don't you have something a bit newer?

I've another 1080 Ti that I suppose I could use since it's water blocked but I'll have to setup another loop for that... Failing that I do have a GTX 1070 or a few RX480s but I think they aren't going to be massively fast??.... No clues on that one...

1070 all the way. 650k on Windows, 120-140 W.

I was pretty sure that the 1070 would have been the better card.. Has anyone folded on a RX 480?

Just a heads up to Ubuntu folders. Nvidia driver 430 was pushed today and installing it mid-folding will kill your (many) next attempts to fold until you re-start.

Yup and an RX480 to 580 BIOS flashed card aswell both did reasonably well at stock clocks but did far better with a 100MHz OC 1240MHz to 1340MHz

I still have three left over from it , they fold and crunch quite well.

Just a heads-up on QRB (bonus). There are some problems with both the FAHControl and HFM.net. The k-factor used in the bonus calculation is from time to time set to 0 and not 0.75. It's been a long time since I looked at the formula to calculate the actual bonus but when you times anything with zero you get zero and that seems to go for the bonus, sometimes. Worse is that there some instances when you upload to a wrong server (twice for me in ten days, what I noticed) and loses points all together. In my past then years as a folder I haven't noticed that I didn't get my point but my 10 day old post about the issue haven't been answered yet in the forum.....One post about the subject

An update HFM 0.9.11 rev 815 includes a fix for the QRB. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8d5F59S5sCiS1RISzdsaEd5UXM

Thx, I saw it just now. It fixes what HFM reports.
And I saw that many posts about the issue there finally prompted them to look at an other problem that WUs not being registered and awarded.

Has anyone else had a real drop in some points whilst doing some work units?? Yesterday I went from 2m+ a day to 320k... Might have been something to do with the units, but I just wondered if anyone else has had that??

Hope everyone is alright

Everybody saw a hit yesterday due to server problems at Stanford. Your peak production the past weeks have been 800k btw

Ah that might explain it. If I see 2m + a day I'm happy but as I only run whilst the solar panels produce anything to cover all the electric usage, I tend not to run it much more than 8 to 12 hours at a time

I can't afford the electric bill at 16p a unit !!

It seems like I'm having another slow day again, it seems the project I have is really slow running compared to the rest of the ones I've had and doesn't give out very good points at all

Teamviewer playing up on my phone at the moment, so I can't get the detail of the work unit.. I'll update when I do

Here we go

It seems a little, well, crap??

debs3759 · Aug 15, 2019

That is caused by a change in how the QRB is calculated. I think it is something called a k-factor. The latest HFM has updated code to work it out right. fahcontrol and some servers have not been updated to return the correct values yet. If you return a wu and don't get the QRB, it will be manually corrected at some point. I have so far only returned one wu that didn't give me a QRB, but expect more

I did notice a little later on that I'd passed over 60m which I hadn't before so I guess something was just having a funny 5 minutes...

Ah computers, got to love 'em

Did you turn it off @newtekie1 ??

I just bought an RX580. Primarily because I do a lot of video recoding in DivX Convertor, which can use GCN GPUs to accelerate it's work. Does anyone have an idea what ppd it is likely to generate when I fold on it? It's a 4GB model, so slower memory than the 8GB models. I hope they use the same memory, so I can overclock it the same

The summer means I can't fold on the machines at home, leaving only the computer at my office. We are in the middle of moving our office. So all the office computers are unhooked.

I should be back up folding next week.
