Post your PPD rates !!

sounds like fun

no, fun would be being able to contend with your ppd again

oh, and not to worry about the points - my PC will be down for at least a month when i move back to the states - that should give you plenty of time to catch up hehe

Yea im actually saving currently for a nice set of 670ti's i think, but ill research more as the money becomes available from my side business ^_^.

Just brought another server online to start testing today. As of right now if im not working at my job im either studying or working on my website lol, so not much time to sit and tweak things or to even check on my F@H clients

Hi guys.

Haven't been here for a while since I started my journey into folding a few months ago. Looking back it was initially a kind of bumpy ride until I better understood the whole "process" around folding, ppd, performance/watt, etc ...

Tried a lot of different configurations: Single proc, 2P and 4P on the CPU side, while with GPUs AMD 7970, GTX 780 and Titans systems had 1,2 or 4 GPus inside. A few combinations did not work out as intended and so I had to iterate a few times to improve performance, efficiency, temperature and stability.

I still remember my first post here, when my first system achieved with 4x Titans plus a CPU 215k ppd. Things improved significantly over time. If # of systems is no issue, it is much easier to create a cost effective and stable system with 2 GPUs than one with four. While the Four-GPU systems looked impressive, folding is embarrassing parallel and can there for be split to different systems. Core17 made a huge impact with its introduction of QBR for GPUs which strongly influences the performance relations between the different GPU models. Versus previous cores, core17 advantages faster GPUs in terms of ppd more pronounced. Another observation related to overclocking. Nothing increased my total production more than to stop overclocking - I even started to underclock to improve performance. Sounds weird, but really helped a lot with reduced outages. They basically went down to zero and improved average production.

Titan's are currently able achieve to 200k ppd peak, for rock solid stability expect 180k ppd.
GTX 780's can go as high as 170k ppd, for extended stability 145k ppd is the norm.
7970 GHz edition are producing 105k ppd.

Energy efficiency is currently still the domain of 4P CPU systems. While the best GPU systems get up to 800 ppd / watt, 4P CPU systems can go as high as 1350 ppd / watt (+70%).

As of today, all different attempts combined produced about 123mio points, June was the best month with 53.4m points.

kind regards,
Andy

we're not worthy!

btw bds. Game on ^_^, ive made some modifications to the program itself to keep it hidden and will now be rolling it back out to client machines.
