Not really. The difference is huge. I have a 64 core EPYC Rome CPU, and I tried it, and its like 200k. My slowest video card is a 1070ti, and it does like 500k. A quad core or the like ? I don't even want to think about how small that would be.At first, just my AMD RX 460 was folding.
Now it looks ( sounds ) like my R7 1700 is doing work - is it worthwhile to have the CPU doing work?
Did you get a passkey ? Not that it will change the research, but the points are nice for the team.Another first timer here. Seems to be working and the credit should be going to team Anand. Vested interest in helping with Covid-19 research as I work at a hospital in New Jersey. Going to have to let it run without much oversight from me as the days and nights of working are long.
Under windows or linux ? linux on the same hardware gets 30% more work done.My 1080 is only doing 800k when at full speed. Just goes to show the big jump up with the newer cards

work seems to be flowing better now for the team
yes got the passkey first thing.. Web control is showing team 198Did you get a passkey ? Not that it will change the research, but the points are nice for the team.
Remember, you donlt get bonus points for like 10 units, but then its jumps in ppd. Let us know what you are getting, once it kicks in !yes got the passkey first thing.. Web control is showing team 198

Yep, what Mark said. The CPUs still do work, but take their time. (Actually individual work units don't take extraordinarily longer on CPUs, but that's because CPUs are given smaller work units than GPUs.) Since points are given not just for the amount of work but also for the speed at which it was done (quick return bonus), points-per-day relative to Watts of power usage are far better on GPUs compared to CPUs.Not really. The difference is huge.
I have a 22c/44t Xeon E5v4 driving three GPUs and running a 36-thread CPU slot additionally. This CPU slot is making 280,000 PPD right now. (Looks like the internal synchronization of FahCore_a7 works better on the old ring design of the E5v4 vs. the tree-like design of the Zens. It's the other way around at most of the other Distributed Computing projects.) Still, I'm going to shut down the CPU slot at least during the day, considering efficiency and cooling requirements.I have a 64 core EPYC Rome CPU, and I tried it, and its like 200k.
Started folding yesterday on my i5-4670k / rtx 2070.
Hopefully my electricity bill doesn't go through the roof lol.
I have a UPS hooked up and the PowerChute software (configured at 10 cents per kwh) says the PC costs 40 cents a day while idle. It has gone up to 84 centers per day while folding. I have also run tests with a kill-a-watt in the past and found that $10-$15 a month just for my PC is about normal. It was much higher in the early 2000s when I was running a napster server 24/7. I had 5 scsi drives and everything was less efficient.
In the last 24 hr, QWe did 55 mil, and Toms did 42 mil (unofficially).I just joined the tom's team ... They need all the help they can get against you guys !
