@THE_EVIL_RAPIER This is how I have one of my PC's set. I hope this helps.

You don't have any cores set aside for F@H?

@thebluebumblebee Sorry I didn't catch that. I have this PC set that way because the AMD 7970 doesn't require a core set aside for F@H, at least from my experience . My PC's that house Nvidia GPU's do have 1 core set aside for the F@H client.

That's not what I saw with my 7770. It does not use much of that core, but the hit to PPD was substantial. (OC'd 2600K)

I'll dedicate 1 core again to see if I get can gain more PPD on this PC.

Who knows? Maybe this is an Intel/AMD cpu thing??????

Possibly. I'll leave it folding with 1 core dedicated for for several days. Hopefully then we'll see if it makes any difference.

I'm sure that your PPD will go up. I forgot to reduce my WCG core count a few times and that hurt the PPD a lot on my 280x and 7970s.

I'm stuck abroad working but there is light at the end off the tunnel. I noticed that I have been passed in the team ranking but looking at his (mx) PPD I doubt if I ever get that position back :laugh:

Are you using web control or advanced control?

tried both. I had to use the advanced control to delete the CPU client. The other downside to only running F@H for 12 hours is i'll get even less points because they go down if you have a WU sat there doing nothing.
@T-Bob I will try those settings tonight. Just got up getting ready for night shift again. I could just tell them both to run constantly before I leave....But then I have to try and get my wife to go into both, Shut them down while she uses them and then turn them back on when she's done.... lol yeah.

Set F@H to run constantly and set wcg to run at idle after 1 minute. This way is how I have it setup on my father's PC and he doesn't even notice the difference.

mx500torid · Sep 9, 2014

can you post a screenie? I know if I put the slider at less than full on folding it seems it just sits there.

mx500torid · Sep 9, 2014

This is my 290x should be the same.

I've been wondering when I would receive my Folding badge (recently passed 100K), however I think its related to my FAHClient refusing to work....

I see that you run all four "cores" on WCG. You lose big time on the folding doing that.

???Run as administrator?????

Sorry about the confusion but this system has a FX6300. I have 2 of the 3 CPU modules dedicated to WCG. The remaining module is dedicated to the F@H client

I think that may have worked, although its being stupidly slow with the WU now. Maybe my badge will show up now? :rolleyes:

EDIT: Nope, still no badge. Ah well... :confused:

mx500torid · Oct 24, 2014

Is there anyone here that can make a rundown of how to get folding working on Linux and maybe sticky it. I am doing something or maybe a lot of somethings wrong. Im on Ubuntu 14.10 and it says in will install but it doesnt. I went to terminal and copy and pasted and that doesnt work. It does say it is installed just cant get it to work. Any help will be appreciated. i know there was a conversation a little while back about Linux setup but I cannot find it.

thebluebumblebee · Oct 24, 2014

I think this is the thread that you're thinking of and, to my knowledge, it's the best rundown we have.
How to install openCL (for F@H) Ubuntu

stinger608 · Dec 26, 2014

Hmm, installed the latest AMD video drivers. Have a 7870 in my system. Called for a reboot; now FAH will not start? What the hell is up with that?
Any ideas?

hertz9753 · Dec 26, 2014

The omega drivers are not good. I haven't heard of F@H not starting, just horrible ppd. Most AMD folders go back to what they were running before. Usually 14.4 or 14.2.

stinger608 · Dec 26, 2014

Yea very odd indeed. I am running the 14.4. Not sure what the issue is. I finally was able to fire FAH up and messing with it for awhile. I'll have to try and reboot and see if it starts.

xvi · Dec 26, 2014

Getting very odd issues on the Omega drivers in some games on my two 6950s. I'm starting to think AMD's little marketing push on these drivers may have been a bit early.

Lopez0101 · Jan 4, 2015

Man, 240k with a 290X? My 290 (like 40k PPD) got me fewer points than my 7970m in my laptop and I never got it fixed.

Anyway, I recently got a GTX970 because my 290 took a shit and when I got everything going F@H refuses to see my 970. Uninstalled/Reinstalled the latest F@H client and still nothing. only the CPU. I also can't manually add the GPU. Is there a better client than F@H's own or a way to make it see my GPU?
